[Mancunian_WCFC]

Mr Monkey is having slight delusions.... we never took 1000 to Stalybridge. the reason I know this... the total crowd was only about 800 - but two thirds were City!

We did take 1000 to Telford a while back and a good 400-500 to Tamworth and Belper. But they are a bit closer than Accy. I would be pleased with 200-250... it could be more. I guess it all depends on how much the local paper talks up the tie. Also if we suddenly put in a run of form and beat Nuneaton and Northwich the next games out I would reckon that would put an extra 100 or so in the coaches.

Don't be surprised by Worcester's support levels. You lot probably didn't notice when we were one of the really big non-league clubs back in the late 70's and early 80's. The club was founder members of the old APL (now Conference) and regularly used to apply for league election. We are still a well supported club and would probably be a bigger force if not crippled by a £700,000 debt.

Really looking forward to the match and good old sing song. I reckon that you will find us tough to beat as the new manager & his assistant very much start building the team from the back forward. We have lots of experience and quality in the back 4/5. If only we had some top strikers I would almost be optimistic.

My prediction - a draw at your place and then we lose back at the Lane when we are actually forced to attack!
