SWINDON

[ezekiel]

Really looking forward to this one, should ensure a great atmosphere, a decent gate, some welcome money and perhaps the right result

[davo]

Yeah Bring on the Swindon!

[1993stutes]

should be getting around 3000 maybe a few more, i think they will bring 700+

[bobby]

Personally I feel we'll be lucky to get that. Closer to 2,500. I konw I'm pessemistic, but I don't think it'll be a huge crowd

[DJTom]

i think we can win this

[JSmith]

Personally I agree with Josh. We will get most of the floating United fans through the gate and it is quite an attractive tie with Swindon of course being an ex Premier League team, so yeah I would agree with Josh.

Also we are flying high the BSP, and did anyone notice last nights attendance? I personally was surprised that 400 odd Histon fans came last night, middle of half-term with holidays and was absolutely freezing (a mere 2 degrees according to BBC weather) and people who came were treated to a thrilling game of football.

Brilliant night out! ;D

Hold your head high knowing that you were there supporting your team on a brass monkeys night. You were rewarded with 5 goals.

Very impressed with your match reports. Histon FC have done a good thing in (finally ) getting you on board there.

See you at the home match on 15th Nov. I'll be the one walking like C3PO. Fly out to New York tomorrow.... gulp!

FGH... as they will shortly be saying in New York City.

[mikecheck]

Plus it pelted down with rain all game and before.

I'm looking at 2,500-3,000 depending on weather.

[davo]

Done well. Take it we can just turn up to this game or is it a ticket thing?

[davo]

Good luck ftm. Heard you this morning.
Good on ya :-)

There were seven goals mate - did you lose count

Oh no - you're not gonna miss the Swindon game as well are you??

[ftm]

I'm back on Nov 5th so I shall be at the Swindon match on 8th Nov.
You'll find me in the bar!!!

For what it's worth, and not really not much of a yard stick in the FA cup but not a great away record:

I would expect 3000+ and I would think probably all ticket but I am sure we will be kept posted.

Personally looking for a gate near to 3,000. Swindon do have a decent following and it is not unreasonable to expect them to bring around 800. As for home fans, including those floating, such a big match should ensure around 2,000 (shouldn't it?).
Given that the media will be picking up on it next week, momentum should begin to build up. So, enjoy every minute of the run up to next saturday which should be a great day.
It will be interesting to see how much noise is generated as just lately the volumes have risen considerably creating a great atmosphere. I guess that a large number of those young supporters from some years back are now strapping and vocal teenagers, who are doing rather well imo, long may it continue.
