The Road to Wembley

Fair enough then.

Am I the only one who really can’t be bothered about this trophy?

I'm not overly fussed but it can be a welcome distraction from the league.

Just hope that no key players get injured in it.

THE draw for the fifth round of the FA Trophy will be made on Monday afternoon.

Let's be honest. This is now our FA Cup. That where we are I'm afraid. We have to be excited about it.

At least with this, we're realistically able to get to the final.

The revenue distribution is not quite as straight forward, because the FA Trophy final and F A Vase final are played on the same day, so you get 2 games for the one admission price.

There was someone on here last May who went in the neutral area and enjoyed the day and would go again, maybe they can pop on and confirm ticket prices they paid and the split might be 25% each way, or weighted pro rata between NL or the lower level teams, I looked on the FA site but can't find any info there.

I believe the tickets in Club Wembley were £20 each. I had two children with special needs and the tickets were £10 each with the disability letters. Great day out and even got moved in to a box for the second game!

Anyone else really want us to get to the final?

I really feel like a Wembley Trip (and cup win) would really help bring the community together and would be a great asset for next season

Financial gain is obviously a benefit, but on paper, having the new owners lift a trophy on year 1 is a massive statement for the club

Its one of the rare outlets for us to bring in a lump sum overall from a cup run, celebrate a trophy at Wembley and hand COSU a good rewarding prize in year one

So not to be scoffed at, although having made the Millennium games and previous Wembley appearance Im unsure I will go for it it this time especially with current back issue

 

[annie1954]

Around 7 National League teams in the draw fingers crossed we avoid one of them

 

[Wickford Blue]

It's bound to be Kidderminster at Home......return of the Orange one!!

 

[danbowen]

Can see us getting Forest Green away or a horrible away game oop North.

 

[Strykr]

its tinpot, but so are we at the moment. Day out at wembleys always fun, COYB

 

[JCB]

It’s tinpot until we win it - then it’ll be the greatest feeling in the world seeing Ralphy hoisting a trophy up at Wembley

I feel your pain Barry C, I reckon if we manage to make the final, the coach would be the best option.

 

[leeblue]

Would love another day at Wembley....exciting times.

 

[Roger The Alien]

All I hope for is a home draw against side from
Number 6 and 7 in the draw.

 

[Shrimper]

Hoping for 6, 7, 11 or 15. Ideally at home

 

[Jmayhew32]
