They knocked Southend out in the last round so are no pushover.

did Southend field their full team - i know they are incredibly light on numbers to begin with so cant see them really wanting a crack at this given their league form just now.

they are not a bad side at all these and will give us a tougher test than Liverpool did (sounds weird saying that)

We will need to get a "high end" caterer in the away end then.

Pay them respect by all means but are we really frightened of a team at that level?

Unlikely any worse than Chester so hardly something to take for granted!

This could be our year!
Smaller club at home- couldn't have really asked for much more really - well maybe a bye, but should be beating these. Could well be Mancini 's comeback game and it's on a Saturday so H&R might manage to bring 2 (TWO) dozen fans - exciting times! rolf

The big question for me:though, is whether or not Crackling Rose will open the Town End!

How many Poolies do you reckon will come? It's a commercial decision as to whether all parts of the ground are opened or not. I reckon an anticipated home crowd of 3,000 would do it.

By the way, in my book Hampton & Richmond Borough is definitely a big name club. 24 letters of the alphabet - that's massive!

Spot on Mr Hogan's - they are HUGE -

I can only liken it to when Dimi played in goal for Pools- I used to tell people that he was our one BIG named player! bbolt

Be nice to get a good sized crowd…..for two reasons, to support the team obviously and generally take the piss out their players on the pitch…… and realise this is a road to Wembley.

At least 2 former stars in Jake Gray and Mason Bloomfield, looks like Muir has moved on from them.
