Looks like we’ve got a fixture in a week or so (12/10/21) against AFC Wulfrunians (who I admit I’ve never heard of).
I don’t understand why we don’t take this cup as a bit of an opportunity and have a go and also have a bit of a jolly.
It’s a great opportunity for some of the fringe players to have a match which is at least a bit competitive - almost like we treated the Checkatrade (early rounds).
Ben Wilson, JJ, Bright, Rus, Tavares etc. - promote the games properly and I think the club would be shocked at with how big the turn out could be. (The younger players would benefit from playing in front of a crowd I think.)
With the atmosphere around the Club as positive as it is, I could see us take 1000 to the likes of Sphinx or the Butts to watch Cov Utd V Cov City or whatever.
We used U.K. regularly get over 1000 at HR for reserve team matches so I think the potential is there.
For me personally, I think there are more people who would want to go and watch the JJ’s and Bright’s and promising kids play a competitive match at some tight non league ground where there’s often a pub joined on on a midweek night than the Club realises.
