Whether this be your first foray into the competition at this stage, or you be seasoned travellers and revellers in the FA Cup: Very best of luck, enjoy the craic, love the atmosophere, dig the publicity and remember every minute of the game tomorrow. I will be looking for goal flashes and reports right across this Tinpot kingdom of ours; without favour - I wish you all the very best.  ;D |

Thank you so very much, Hawky - personally, this will be my first visit to a League ground in the FA Cup...nerves, nerves, anticipation and nerves!
Oh, and I see you've changed the header at the top of the home page - very good, sir!

I am starting to get just a tad frightened now. Of course I know we'll win but, y'know  |

As a supporter of a team without ab FA Cup win in 4 years i'll withold a good luck message lest it jinxes you.
I would counsel, however, to keep your boozing down and your sensory awareness at it's sharpest. You could be laying down memories now that will be like a warm, friendly glowing fire of comfort to you in future horrible cold winters.
At this precise moment i don't know where i put my car keys last night, but as for our cup runs in the 1970's, well.. (launches into time travelling revellry...etec, etc....)

Wise words indeed! Other than the rogue apostrophe in "its" of course  I am currently eating a hearty FA Cup breakfast, which is a tradition of mine and a rather sensible one it has proved to be. Stops me getting too drunk or feeling sick, for a start ;D |

Gateshead 2-2 Brentford.
A truly momentous evening for the Tynesiders. I feel it's a serious proposition of our league ambitions. With the new stadium announced earlier in the week, holding a league team for the first time at home in years backed up with a bumper 1150 attendance; Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez.
I love it when a plan comes together, from getting kicked around in the Uni 1st when I first started to support the club, being among the paltry attendance of 66 at home vs Guiseley in the league cup, to being humiliated 5-0 midweek against Farsley under Colin Richardson's second reign to full scale revival.

I saw the International Stadium from the train earlier and was trying to remember if you lot were at home.
The Poppies beat Jeff Stelling XI 1-0 today. I had an excellent day out which included possibly the biggest hot dog I have ever seen, let alone eaten. Very tinpot culinary delights and prices from Hartlepool's rather tinpot (by FL standards) ground.

Aye, we were at home. Now I must brace myself for the arduous midweek trip to Hounslow, possibly the grimmest part of the grimmest city on the planet.
I'm very surprised you didn't travel with the Blyth fans to watch your team play. Most unusual!
Chuffed to bits for Kettering. Terrific club + terrific fans, also nicknamed the poppies, very appropriate for them to win on a weekend that includes remembrance sunday.

That would have involved getting up very early to get from Durham to Blyth before they left if I went on their coach, or an expensive 4 hour train journey there and back (probably staying overnight and losing all of Sunday too). Just wasn't practical this time  |

Or, of course, asking them to pick you up along the way. Washington Services being less than a good hoof away from Durham City. I'm sure they would've obliged.
