Potton were talking of running a coach, so they must be hoping for a decent following.
I predict a crowd of 450.

Good way to spend a Bank Holiday Monday and lets hope we can complete the double...even if we are without Sam, Declan and Liam.

I reckon we'll be looking at over 600, our fans, their fans, UCL hangers on etc.

Potton fan on twitter is claiming they have best defensive record in the UCL this season 31 conceded in 38 games, whereas we have conceded 32 in 40. So I think mathematically we are the best as we have conceded 0.8 per game and they have conceded 0.815.per game.

To be fair, in the KO Cup their record is better. Only 2 conceded in 5 games. Ours is 3 in 4 games.

It is going to be a tough game if we are to score the 4 we need to reach 400 goals in 3 seasons.

Comparing the respective records is like politicians manipulating figures to suit their own argument.

In my opinion one party is way ahead of the other and will get the goals they need to win the prize in next weeks match.
But it could, of course, be very close and go to extra time and someone may even have to pay the penalty.

I don't think anyone who saw us outplayed by Step 6 St Andrews last season will be complacent about this game.

Decent side who should have won the EMC League this season, but they lost their final match at Holwell Sports and Bardon Hill won 6-1 tonight to win the league on goal difference.

If Whitworths finishing in the first half in our tie against them had of been better, then they may have knocked us out. I'm sure the approach to this one will be like no other. a 1-0 win will do

You must have forgotten the first ten minutes when the score could have been Whitworths 0 Scott Joseph 6.
