There are current connections between the 2 clubs but also let's hope Sheila Bradley next Saturday can continue her family's favourable historical connection.
Her son Andy scored the winner on our only other visit to there, an FA Cup replay almost exactly 15 years ago in 1998. (not too good a spectacle if I recall correctly :( ).

10 days later we lost in the next round at home to Gresley and a week after that we also exited the Trophy, losing at home to Gresley.
3 weeks after that, Stewart Hall's highly successful 4 years in charge at The Grove came to end when a 1-0 defeat at home to Kings Lynn had meant a run of 6 successive defeats. Stewart was replaced by John Chambers.
