May as well look to the rest of the season.

So far as I'm concerned we should play a strong team, and certainly Linney (presumably no cup-tied issue?) so if it goes to pens that's at least one we should score. (I seem to remember we won about 1-0 on pens against Vauxhall!). Nothing much to play for in the league, and it'd be nice to take something from the season, it's been a while since we won a trophy.

I think it'd be nice to do a joint Kingy tribute with Runcorn, but in any case, it's about time we played them again in a competitive match. I fancy they'll be up for it.

We've still got a great chance of a top half finish for the first time in ages. That's something to aim for.



PS. It was 2-0 on penalties at Vauxhall I think.

[Hugh]

I think you're right. Still, I don't think I've ever seen so many penalties not converted (though I seem to remember Birmingham missed all their penalties once, possibly in the days of Barry Fry). And whilst I'd like a top half finish, there's no massive pressure to rest players like there might have been, for example, if it had been played last Tuesday. I reckon let's give it a go!

Is the Runcorn game a pay on the gate job

[Sarf London Alty]

Looks like a POTG. Though I know at that level e-tickets aren’t unheard of-only in Halifax. £10 adults & £7 concessions.

Plenty of attacking players on the bench for us yesterday who should be fresh for it so expect wholesale charges especially in midfield & attack. Runcorn seem a decent outfit for their level & lost the play off final to Marine last season so we need to treat them with respect & they’ll be bang up for it too.

For us regulars & traditionalists then the Cheshire Senior Cup still means something so hope we go strong enough to grab that final spot.

[Hugh]

Whilst we're on the subject of the CSC, is there anyone for whom it would have made a difference if we'd been playing the newly formed Macclesfield club in this tie instead of Runcorn?

For me, it's a pity we couldn't play Runcorn in the final rather than (potentially) Crewe youth team or Congleton. I'd had my  heart set on a proper local derby. That's the one down side of the National League today, the relative lack of local derbies. I wonder if Rochdale could potentially develop into a bit of a derby if they go down, like with Chester? (Though I see Dale won yesterday - you never know under a new manager!).

[Alty Dave]

What team do you think will be out tonight? I guess Gouldy will get an outing, Burgess as well.

[Saughall Robin]

Hope we really go for this one. I could do with another CSC final appearance. It's been 14 years or so hasn't it since we won it?

Yes, it's been a good while.

It is a POTG tonight… I hope we field a reasonably strong team tonight it would be a boost to the club to win a cup this season.

Yes, pay on the gate.

Thanks. I hadn't a clue what that stood for! 😂😂

[robininstockport]

No reason not to play a strong team.

Get on the front foot and get it won.

Can't make it tonight, but good luck and a safe journey to all
