That will do for me Tommy! Could have been a whole lot worse, and at least we are at home.

Why the Uh oh Nigel?
Yes it will be a tough game with the Angels, as we have always had before but we are at home, and don't have the difficulties that away travel presents to the players at the moment.
As long as our leader doesn't talk us down again, and have us losing before we start, we 'should' be alright.
Interestingly they are playing the shots in a friendly tomorrow! I wonder if that 'nice' Mr. Mc.Kimm is still involved there?

Did you read the tweet?
My comment is nothing to do with the toughness (or otherwise) of the tie!

Sorry Nigel, not really up with all this tweeting malarkey. What am I missing in the report?

Sorry Nigel, not really up with all this tweeting malarkey. What am I missing in the report? The tweet comments that we may not be able to have a crowd at cup match as we are playing a team from the league above who are considered "elite" clubs from National league set up.

OK, I understand now!
So, lets say, hypothetically, we beat the Angels behind closed doors with no crowd, and then get a level 3 or lower Club in the 3q & 4q rounds, when we CAN have a crowd, do we then go back to behind closed doors for any possible future rounds?? The FA/Government really haven't thought this out have they?
You put your left leg in, your left leg out, in out, in out...…..
Maybe they shouldn't have started the competition in the first place!!, and I assume the same situation will occur with the FA Trophy??
Lets hope the current EFL/NL discussions with the FA/Government, over spectator admissions, get a resolution before next weekend!!

In another thought, we currently are permitted to have attendances of up to 600 people for matches. Does it matter who we play??
If it doesn't, what's the problem with playing Tonbridge anyway who, even if they brought 200 supporters?? which I doubt, to add to our fairly regular 205/300, it would STILL be well within our permitted allowance, and we could always make it ticket only to ensure it!
If we had drawn Aldershot for instance, (hypothetical, but possible in the next round or two), then it would be a necessity anyway!

Good news indeed but it does seem strange that we can have 600 at Cherrywood Road, but Man. Utd can't have 1000 at Old Trafford. Weird world isn't it?

It seems the Club has received confirmation that spectators WILL be permitted at this game. The Club hasn’t received any notification to say supporters are not allowed to attend next Saturday’s FA Cup game. We are aware of certain online unofficial speculation, but nothing official. In the meantime, Tickets are available online and we would strongly recommend buying in advance due to the 600 capacity limit. Online Tickets are refundable if supporters are not allowed to attend events due to COVID-19. If there is any change, the club will make an announcement. Phil Martin.

If the below is true, then what a mess!
Will stewards be testing for Kent accents at the turnstiles? Will anyone celebrating a Tonbridge goal be asked to leave the ground? Would the Club face any sanction if it turns out a few Angels fans get in?
