This is tomorrow night so i'm going to head over and watch it.

Been looking forward to this one since I found out that I'd booked the shift off work back in March, thinking it would be our first game of the season! Couldn't have worked out much better, as I'd have hated to miss our first ever FA Cup fixture.

I shall be travelling down on the coach, and I look forward to seeing you all there! Sure it'll be a day to remember

................................Cross

Brown.............Deakin...........Clarke............Merrill

Wizzy..............King.............Harris............Gearing

....................Dunkley.........Taylor (if fit, if not then Allen)


Subs ;- McBride, Gillingwater, Shorunmu (if fit, Foulger if not), Dent, Grainger (Allen if Taylor fit)

a few changes there to give players a run out, and cos a few not available (Koriya & Liburd)

London Colney have provided some additional details on travel arrangements, that have been added to the match preview.

I would take some sandwiches and refreshments with you as looking at Google Earth the ground is just off the 414 and with no pedestrian route to the ground from the town.
It is down a narrow road with minimal parking facilities and a fairly small clubhouse 8-)

Slight correction to your preview, Formic, the coach is leaving the Dog and Duck ground, at 12 noon, and not as stated, as previously advised by Diamondsforever.

We don't need to take anything as I'm sure your chosen route for us will end up passing, 10 pubs, 12 petrol stations & 7 road side cafe's + I'm sure a present though not required run up the A47. May even get to see a little fenland cricket. :lol:

According to the info received from London Colney, there is a pedestrian route - as mentioned for those travelling by bus in the preview - http://goo.gl/maps/Riss1

Don't tell him that it's just another place to take his car where he shouldn't be.

Thanks - good to see at least one person reads it then - it was correct in the main story about coach travel, but I hadn't updated the original preview.
