Well, after the excitement of the penalty win at Slough we haven’t had long to wait for the next round. Haringey might be a league lower but their 3-1 win over Eastbourne Borough suggests they won’t be any mugs. The FA Trophy used to be our competition it would be nice to reclaim our spot as number one Kent team and have a long run. One final and 4 semi finals is a decent record; let’s see if we can add to it...

Well pleased there's another game to watch to alleviate some of the boredom and as Skip says after their impressive win against Eastbourne Haringey will be no mugs.

I'm sure Steve and the players will make sure we start better than we did at Slough and if we do i'm confident of us getting a positive result which would put a nice few bob in the kitty to help during these difficult times.

Well done lads.
Haringay at home is being streamed
As it is a cup game I presume it will be all pay
Season ticket holders as well?

They will be a tough game as they want to go as far as they can in this Trophy, so need to be positive in front of goal and decisive. Early goals will make it easier for ourselves but I am not ruling out yet another scrap for us.
Talking of money, how much did we get for the win over Slough?
I do hope that SK will not be wanting to try players in different positions or use players who are not getting many games as 1, he will be making a mockery of the Trophy and 2, will be asking for trouble.
Let's get a decisive win.

I'd like to think that the club would allow free streaming for season ticket holders, it would be a nice gesture.

Looking forward to the game and I'm sure Haringey will be up for this. If recent seasons are anything to go by, they are a club on the up.

I still fancy a 3-1 home win!

I don't think its a time for nice gestures - every penny counts at the mo.

Exactly..... which is why I paid for a season ticket knowing I probably wouldn't get to see many games

I'm sure I read that The FA said any income from streaming cup ties has to be shared with the away side. So if the rules are the same as in normal times the home side has to pay their opponents an agreed fee for every season ticket holder they have if not just those who turn up / log on as compensation for lost revenue to the visitors. Even if the club is coping financially in these trying times I doubt if they could afford to just give money away, as nice as such a gesture would be.

It’ll be tough but we should beat them at home.
