They're talking about strengthening their squad in the January transfer window. Show offs :whack:

Are you taking the piss? Eastleigh is where I used to have to drive to, only to be told by some nice person called Julian dressed in an open-necked, striped shirt and a V-neck pullover, that they were having copies of our kit knocked up for a fraction of the price in the far east!

It'll be a good test for our players to show them what standard they're at.

As Southampton are drawn at home to Palace, this could be a fri night/ sun/ mon night fixture. Grrrrrr :evil:
The ground, (last time I was there); has one and a half stands. Our allocation will probably be for one of the patches of grass behind a goal.

What other non leaguers have we played? I can remember Emley, Witton and Gretna (does that count?)

Sutton Coldfield at Burnden when they had an ageing Barry Cowdrill playing for them. We won 2-1.

A little bit before my time we played either Boston or Bangor in the early 70s. 3-0 win I think

YES!!!
I'll never forget the return of Bazza.
I was at that Gretna game too, paved the way way for a great run but could have been very different.

We beat Barrow 1-0 in the 4th round at Burnden (89 ish?). A Philliskirk header at the back post. Worryingly, despite not losing to a non league side, many of those wins were by a narrow margin.

Aye! I fear for that record times have changed with much of non league a good deal more professional now in set up and spending.. This has 'new depths of misery' written all over it and the present administration show all the hallmarks of possessing the ability to sink to any challenge. If you could get odds of 2 to 1 or better on Eastleigh you'd be daft not to consider it.. Right now they look nailed on. Can't imagine a worse draw! I'd rather get gubbed 8 - 1 off City or someone.. This is the absolute lose lose.. we raise about 12 quid in gate receipts and potentially suffer the worst and most embarassing defeat in our history..

I'm strangely looking forward to it. If we still exist.
Think I was at both Barrow and Barry. Clean forgotten. Maybe my mind was concentrating on away games. (Emley was at Leeds Road, disappointingly.)

Sutton Coldfield Town FC marked the return of the legend, Barry Cowdrill.

Hope this gets moved from the Saturday so I can go! I never thought I'd see anything worse than that 7-1 at Reading.
Only 2 years later this could be it!
