I feel it's safe to say, no-one will be going to Wembley this year.

What's the point of this game now.
Regardless of when it might get paid it's £15,000 to the winner and a guarantee of another £30,000 for being a finalist and considering who the opponents are for the final a very good chance of making that £60,000 so £75,000 in total if we go through and then win the trophy.
I’d like to be more confident, but I’m not. We were comprehensively beaten before and Harrogate should be even better now whilst we’re in something of a transition stage....and a few weeks behind them in terms of match practice to boot.
Think Gump said it, but a repeat of the playoff final is a possibility.

Looking forward to the match but very wary. I have to go with 2 -3 but would be delighted to be wrong.
A lot of point in my opinion. Even though some see us competing in this competition as a bit of an embarrassment, I've loved it from the start. It's given me some great memories, like the 9 man win at Yeovil and Michael Doyle's stoppage time 250 yard yard winner against Dagenham (it gets further out every time I think about it). The best memory though has to be the Aveley chairman's reaction when his club were drawn to play at Meadow Lane. I never thought anyone would go ballistic with joy at being drawn away to Notts County! It's the exact antithesis of the monster the Premiership has become. The cash was pennies in their terms, but they would struggle to match the passion.
1-1, we lose on penalties.
