Doesn't it just sum the season up that we missed an opportunity for a home tie.

Doesn't it just sum the season up that we missed an opportunity for a home tie.

We haven't seemed particularly bothered about it either. I understand why we've rested players (although I'm struggling a bit with KD not even being on the bench yesterday) and we were about five minutes and a missed penalty away from it being a masterstroke. But we've now got an extremely tough game on Wednesday. We can still win and Penn has won play-offs doing it this way before but a home game would have been so much better.

There will be a significantly better following at Telford than there would have been at home. A home game would have brought out the casuals - now there will be 800-1000 people who can actually name all the players. I’m all for new fans coming through the turnstiles - we all have to start somewhere - but let’s not delude ourselves that a full Grove is some sort of fortress.

I’m more of a watcher than a singer, but I know what I’ll be on Wednesday night… and I’d suggest that will apply to lots of others too.

Can't wait for a bit of Cock on Wednesday.

Not sure playing it away is a bad thing. Pressure of a big home crowd can get to players. Also we are underdogs now, and underdogs don’t half fight

Not sure how the allocation of tickets is worked out, but Leamington got an initial allocation of 600 last year.

I believe the end holds 1200, so shouldn't be a problem.

Like I said on both occasions , that we might rue the fact that we shut up shop at half time in the home matches against bishops stortford and bigglewade , instead of increasing our goal difference. And so it turns out.

[Rich]

Andy , I don't think you're mad , a little yampy ,yes , but I think Harboro could go all the way.

Agree with this.
They seem to be the form team of the 4 at the moment and have less pressure on them.
Think it will be us vHarbro final

[YeltzBaggieNick]

Unfortunately I think our goose is cooked now we've missed a home tie. Telford versus Kettering final which is anyone's game. I'm a glass-half-empty kind of guy but I just feel that the final chance was missed to get a home tie. But no matter what happens it's been a wonderful season and my son and I have some great memories which is what it's all about.
