Pitch is bound to be bad at that time of year.
Got you covered, Jim, just in case. |  | | |

I actually know this ground as the firm I used to work for had it’s UK HQ just down the road and did a fair bit of sponsorship there.
It is in the countryside though miles from the nearest large town and Lord knows where the nearest pub is.
It’s terraced all the way round to a depth of 10/15 steps with a stand holding a couple of hundred seats down one side.
The dressing rooms and a social area about the size of the Dale Bar are behind the posts at the end of the ground nearest to the main road.
Having said all that they’ve entertained the likes of Stockport and York in league matches in the last ten seasons or so and could cope with reasonable away followings then.
It’s a well run club which has held its own in NLN.
Not sure what their average attendance is these days but I can see it being all ticket. |  | | |

Is the club intending to progress in this one this season? I’d understood it’s a money loser unless you get to Wembley. I like to see us go for it personally. | | | |

As a club be it amateur semi pro or full time you should be entering a competition to win otherwise it's cheating,and unfair to to other teams.
Just my opinion . | | | |

Ask Halifax, they have been to Wembley and won it twice in last decade.
Yes, let's give it a go. | | | |

Scunthorpe have been given 1,075 tickets for their league game there on Saturday, so I'm sure we'll be fine. |  |

That’s more than ample as you say.
It’s a neat stadium and the people there were always more than welcoming but beware of the parking. There is a car park there but there’s no real alternative - the ground is literally surrounded by fields and there is nowhere to park on the main road which doesn’t even have a footpath.
There used to be a park and ride service from the railway station at Leamington Spa on matchdays but I don’t know if this facility is still available. It’s around three to four miles from the station. | | | |

Not sure this is a good draw at all. They are a decent team and have fantastic home form. Ill be very impressed if we can beat them.

If we can't progress against such opposition we shouldn't have any plans to go very far in this competition | | | |

I assume it will depend on Jims assesment of the pitch. It would be a shame if we got to Wembley and it did,nt pass his stringent standards. | | | |
