Re: FA Cup
It'll be a tough game for sure. Pity we have to come to a ground with below-average gates, as a third of the gate or whatever it amounts to these days won't go very far if we are going out! You'll be glad to know that Worcester are one of the rare breed of footballing sides, not one that resorts to kicking lumps out of the oppo. The Worcester team is a side full of height and pace, which has taken a while to bed in after losing a key player during pre-season. Don't let the league position give you too many thoughts of an easy ride, the squad has been a bit threadbare after an injury-wracked start, playmaker Jai Stanley will defintely be out, as will George Clegg (yes, that one), but Les Hines and Nick Colley may well be back. Apart from Andy Preece, Des Lyttle and Graham Hyde, who have 1000 league games between them, there is other professional experience in the shape of striker Leon Kelly and Canadian International Justin Thompson, while keeper Danny McDonnell is an England Semi-pro International.
You can expect a large Shed Army contingent travelling up for this one, should be upwards of 500 making the trip up the M5/M6.
