Quoted from ska face
We're all well aware of how the majority of people on here (myself included) view this competition, but I think we're possibly doing a disservice to the FA Trophy in terms of what it means to the players and manager.

I recently read the part of Macca's autobiography where he spoke about Wembley in 1998, what it meant to him and his family and the impact it had on everyone at the club. You can't underestimate what it means to a manager and a squad of players to walk out at Wembley when you've spent your life dreaming of such an occasion.

I know it isn't the same as 98, I know we're 2 leagues further down & I know priorities are different, but it's a tad disrespectful to make comments like "he's after the Wembley money".


I'd rather us be at Wembley in the play-off final than the Trophy final - given a choice that is!

Great for me if we get through, not to far to travel if I want to go. Still think we should play the reserves and just see if we get through rather then taking it seriously


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

There is no way the gate would be over 20k if we got to the final. Play the youth team on Wednesday.

Gary Mills has challenged his Gateshead side to “finish the job” as they prepare to welcome Grimsby Town to the International Stadium on Wednesday, following a dour stalemate in their FA Trophy second- round tie at a blustery Blundell Park.

The Conference rivals played out a largely forgettable 90 minutes yesterday – in complete contrast to their last two meetings, which have produced 11 goals between them.

The Tynesiders will now have to overcome a replay to secure their passage to the last 16 – but Mills was content to come away from an intimidating venue unscathed.

He said: “This is cup football – when we don’t win, we have to make sure we do enough to take them back to our place.

“What has pleased me, in particular, was the clean sheet.

“We’ve not had enough of them this season, and Grimsby is an excellent place to come and get one.

“We’re still in the hat – and we have to make sure we go and finish the job on Wednesday.”

Am due to be at both Barnet away and Braintree at home so quite happy to go out on Wednesday and not have my plans changed by Trophy semis.

Quoted from Les Brechin
I would think Wednesday will see our lowest away support for a competitive game for a long time.


Nurse said if I am good tomorrow and also take my tablets, I can go.
