Title: Ebbsfleet United
Post by: VofD on February 23, 2009, 01:55:49 PM
Should Ebbsfleet beat Wrexham tomorrow in the FA trophy replay, then our match away to them on 21st March would be postponed as it is the 2nd leg of the semi-final.
When would be able to fit it in?

While I agree the FA Trophy gave us as a club some great and memorable moments, I can't help feeling a tad tetchy that due to other clubs replays I've missed my trip to Kettering and potentially now Ebbsfleet. Living down here plus work stuff means I get to few enough as it is. Plus Cambridge away now at 4pm Sunday! At least I can get to Grays  :-\

Great pic by the way.

Remember the rule: if we are knocked out early it is tinpot; if we do well it is a premium competition!

I, personally, am still seething at out spineless performance against Southport, for me the (on pitch) low point of the season.

Southport have played Durham (another easy Necastle Blue Star), an unarsed Torquay, Conference North side Telford and if they get through play York (who we have taken 4 points of this season) and the final against Ebbsfleet who we comfortably beat at Moss Lane and Wrexham who we drew twice with over 2 games (90 mins).

Chances like that do not come along very often. Punching above our weight or not we are currently a mid table conf side and this was a chacne for a real run.

The players (not GH) should be kicking themselves.

Ballers,

Couldn't agree more.

In Grahame Rowley's column in a recent issue of the Robins Review, he mentioned that a £5,000 shortfall had to be recouped by the club before the end of this season.

Defeating Southport in that FA Trophy tie would have raised that exact sum.
