If this were to go to a replay, we would probably get a bigger crowd than you'll get on the Saturday - maybe 1800 - 2200 City fans would turn out. Problem is, they don't turn out regularly for League games. While we averaged 1000 last year, we are almost 200 down this year. May be something to do with the success of Worcester Warriors RFC.

It's not that long since we took 1000 to Stalybridge for an FA Trophy game, or the Telford game. Two wins against Northwich and Nuneaton would double the following from the usual FA Cup 250.
Any news if it'll be on TV yet? BBC will be showing highlights from three games, and they seem to have this obsession with Accrington still.
