Don't know about anyone else but this feels akin to reaching a county cup final already. First of all well done lads - role on the 4th round! Personally I shall be there and expect to be standing amongst a crowd in excess of 200 but chaps, bring someone new and we can try to swell the gate to more than 300, create some atmosphere and turn a profit on gate money alone regardless of paying any costs for St Ives travel arrangements. Be warned I plan to be noisy and I hope that I am not alone! Win the game and those new supporters will soon be back as well! The more the merrier in case, like Herne Bay this round, we get landed a further tie (if we beat SITFC) somewhere up north.
Reaching round four means that next season we shall be entering at the 2nd round proper. Slight regrets that we won't get to play any step six oppo from East Sussex, Surrey etc and that we miss out on relatively winnable prize money early doors in the competition. On the other hand it also means that we can have a real good crack at the early rounds of the FA Cup where the prize money is much bigger. It also reduces the chances of those bum draws against familiar faces from the Kent League.
It will also delight the KPL fixtures secretary who will be able to schedule us to play three additional home league games before the serious damp of autumn and winter can even touch the Culverden pitch. This in turn allows us to put points on the board before enjoying another run towards Wembley.
Heady days. Isn't Culverden a great place to be these days!
