If not many of you turn up I fear the encounter could be a bit one-sided - get behind your team!!![/quote]
To add to AFKA's comments the practicality of getting to Northwich for a 1.30 PM KO on a Sunday means setting off at ridiculously early o'clock if you are going by train and not that much later by car/coach.[/quote]
Rubbish Black Forest Gateaux! we're on the 844 from Euston & we're there by midday! If people don't want to go fair enough but don't talk crap about having to get up early.
[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite] i'm sure it is disappointing for you guys, but the simple truth is the minute the words 'Sunday, 1pm, on the telly' were announced, about 1,500 changed there minds.
Exactly. If it was saturday i know a few that would've gone but are now going to be watching it down the pub.

The 8.44 at Euston means getting a train from Sidcup/Bexleyheath area about half 7 and that's if there aren't engineering works. I don't know what world you live in when getting up before 7am on a sunday isn't classed as early.

I live in a world very close to you Chris as I will be getting a train from Sidcup about 730 unless I doss at Euston overnight as Shag suggests! The old saying "everyone comes out for the cup" appears lost on us for this one.
Just thought, we will probably have a lot of reserves playing, as many of the first team are looking tired / injured and we have to play 6 of them against Soton.

I am one of the 1,500 who changed their minds.
Was more that interested in making the trip. But Sunday, at 1pm, drinking and getting back late on a school night is the worst time in the world for a football game. Doubled with the being on telly, nice warm pub it is for me :-)
tbh 3,350 Gillingham, nearly 700 Carlisle, 500 Northwich (Sun on box), 500 Saints (Wed on box in Paint Pot) and probably over 1,000 at Yeovil all in the space of a couple of weeks ain't bad. We had trouble convincing clubs to open turnstiles for our away support last season.

I'm a bit surprised that so many people aren't feeling the romance of the cup!
me too to be honest, even though I have the excuse of being an "exile", my train leaves at 7.50am so that means leaving my flat by 7.15

i think there may be a coach running up there too
they (NV) would've probably been better off financially drawing tooting and mitcham or sutton utd.
£69,000 i think
From memory the sum was around £50,000. I'm not sure if that's still the case.
So they won't gain as much as they would like as they've lost 1500 Charlton at £14 = £21,000.Plus will they lose any "home" support ?
PS We probably had about 5 going who are not now.
We need them rested and fit for MK Dons.
