It was one of those saves that was a goal celebration for us. Apart from the cr@p ground, cr@p conditions of the pitch and the squeaky bum time for the last 10 minutes of the game, that was an awesome day out. It's funny how at the time every single person in the conference league were saying how Histon shouldn't have even got to the play offs, and now look at them, well and truely glued to the bottom of the league, ready to go back to the conference north. Although I am gutted to see Lewes stuck at the bottom of the Conference South, that was a good away trip and we had a bit of fun with the home fans singing their songs for them.

say if we do win, i think it would be better if we got a team not as big as man utd, because then we have the chance to go on further, but IF we do get throught then i think we will most likely get a big team

I'd say 1000 TUFC (or maybe just under), constant singing, dreadful day, dreadful pitch (as Matt says), dreadful ground.

The sort of thing that epitomised non-league football - so glad we're out of there!
I went to Histon a few times as a neutral, it's saving grace was it's nosh. Truly excellent burgers could be had for a sheckle or two. Bested in our conference days by only Stevenage who, in the home end at least, sell footlong (maybe a little more) bacon, egg, sausage etc baguettes and they're only about £1.50, They're so good, I had TWO at the Stevenage v Port Vale FA Cup match from a couple of years ago.

Cheating gits, pitch had more sand than Brighton beach. Still, as quite rightly mentioned, THAT save will live on forever in the memories of those who were there. Had it been made in La Liga or the Premier League, they'd still show it now.

If you guys want to carry on singing through half time (which is a blinding idea) I am up for drumming.
Histon away. A game that'll long stick in the memory. Electric atmosphere, quality day. Pokes save will never be forgotten..

Well if it is a replay I think I have had a few mates from Southampton who have said they would come the replay if they can get in. Some of them would have come to the home league, but they are seeing some team up north at St Mary's.

I'd rather a big one away. We'd take more fans, it'd be a better day out.

A tuesday evening replay at Plainmoor would be good though.

However, first things first, Crawley to start with. I'm dreading us drawing this match, although I'd hope to get to the replay - would hope for about 800/900 Gulls even on a Tuesday night, to be honest!

Awayday wrote:My boss just asked a good question.

If we do beat Crawley, do we want a big money earner (Arsenal or Man Utd away) with the realistic chance of being knocked out or a small game like Hereford or Stevenage and a much higher potential of getting into the 6th round but less revenue.

Me personally if we are going to get a home tie again, I would want Hereford or Stevenage. The way I saw it was if we are at home Hereford and Stevenage are only going to get as many tickets allocated as Arsenal, Man Utd or Chelsea. However if we are drawn away I would like to go to Steveange, take a 1000 or so with us, out sing and out play them and enjoy the 6th round draw.
A home tie against a big team is okay because we're almost certain to get ourselves on the television. By that stage we'll almost certainly be the smallest team left in the competition, so they'll be hoping for us to shock Arsenal or whatever at plainmoor. The ideal thing would be to draw a big boy at home, get on television, sneak a draw, and then play away at the emirates or old trafford.

As it is, I expect to be foaming at the mouth at either yet another crap draw, or a great draw for crawley.

I'll keep a space for you right next to Awayday ;-)

Will do. Following on from the original post, I'd prefer we got drawn against Hereford/Stevenage if we get through. Just think, if we get through the 5th round we'd be 90mins from a semi at Wembley and making history.
