Draw for the 3rd Qualifying round of the FA Trophy is due imminently. Here's hoping for a better draw than those we were given in the FA Cup earlier in the season - no Away to Hemel or Bishops Stortford please..

Kingstonian would be interesting (if they beat Dorchester Town in tonight's relay).

Yes that does Mark.............and should we draw, then the Surrey Senior Cup tie v Walton & Hersham would be postponed to a later date, as FA Trophy Replays take priority

All three of our previous away games at Concord have finished 0-0!
They're scoring and conceding a lot this season (their home results include a 5-0 win v Basingstoke on Saturday and a 3-0 defeat to Hayes & Yeading four weeks earlier), so that should be set to change.

That means it's got 0-0 written all over it Draw for the 3rd Qualifying round of the FA Trophy is due imminently. Here's hoping for a better draw than those we were given in the FA Cup earlier in the season - no Away to Hemel or Bishops Stortford please.. Given that we had to play HH in three consecutive matches, you should have said no Havant or Concord

.....on the basis we have won twice as many games away from home than at home .....\I suppose we could say this is an ideal draw!! Interesting fact in the league the top seven teams, five have won more games away than at home. Why!!!

Home sides are more inclined to be more attack minded,it them allows the better teams to profit. How many times have we struggled against sides we were expected to beat at home.

I think it's the pitch. Perfect playing surface. But if it is for us it is for the opponents. You get trickier conditions and good players cope better than average ones. Stortford was a perfect example

Stortford was a perfect example I got you there Andy, how come they call a bad pitch a leveler in top vs lower opposition, and how come the premier boys hate playing on a bad surface?
