Looking odds on the Gateshead away will be midweek. Nothing against Peterborough Spirts but……

Bromley v Barnet in next round too..

I have a contingency plan in place as I'm booked for the weekend.. if Gateshead off, I'm going to the stadium of light to tick off another ground.

They've got this far and beat NL opposition in the last round.

I think many will switch their weekend away plans to the York game the week before.

[Westbars Spireite]

Not sure about that. York tickets will sell out quickly to season ticket holders which will rule out many who were planning a night in the Toon.

Accomodation over Easter weekend in York won’t be cheap either.

No, and it’s an easy train ride (presumably) but not much good if you can’t get in the ground. I think there will be probably 8/10 of us doing the overnighter for Gateshead if it happens, for York just the two of us (me and the lad) who are ST holders.

Can see Macclesfield making the final.

It’s disappointing the Welling match didn’t come at the end of January, as looking at the final 8, it would of been a Wembley appearance for a second season in a row.

Go to Selby

Fine if you’re driving….public transport likely to be hit and miss on a bank holiday. Most won’t be driving if they are stopping over as well. Not sure it’s a great option really and won’t be as goo.

I’m lost with this one. Final 8? Is it because Aveley, Kiddie, Chorley, Welling, Hampton & Richmond and Hereford have gone, it’s a weak last 8?

Now that Barnet and Bromley still remain and now have to play one another, our strategy in the competition looks bang on.

What is the away capacity at York's new stadium. The away stand looks like it holds less than a 1000. Do they normally allocate the overspill section down the side as well for a large away following?

Yes we had the away end and down the side last year.

[Westbars Spireite]

There were a few Spireites in the stand to the left of the away end too that night.

What would that make 1500 or so?

[Westbars Spireite]

We had 1708 there last season.
