We progressed to the 2nd round of the FA cup at the third attempt at Grays, where the irony was that despite the 1pm kick off, the floodlights were on for the full game. We will remember those two trips in years to come. I personally witnessed two things I had never seen before - an abandonment due to floodlight failure and the disallowed rebound from the penalty.
If we can overcome Crewe there is another trip to the New Den on 3rd January....

A warm welcome to the Branch to Aidan Wharton who is our first ever member from Jersey. He will be flying into Southampton airport for this game. To save him hiring a car are there any members who can offer him a lift on the day ? If so please get in touch with me.
