A couple of teams in small towns near Accy have just been drawn together in the FA Cup on the very day that we could have one of our biggest attendances of the season. I wonder if there's any chance of moving it?
How will this affect the Barnet gate?

Nice one! 
I would imagine their match will have a 12.00 kick-off so maybe we promote the ficture on the theme - "Watch 2 games in one afternoon."

burnley could be on tv and so could be changed for s different day
I thought it was obvious who I meant JEFF.......and even more obviously not your good self..
Accystankev books his first away trip to halifax on the coach.. 2 seats for 20 quid. Then he doesnt turn up and the coach has two free seats after turning people away... he then tells everyone he is poorly and couldn't go... we then find out he went to the burnley home game instead.... So that makes him a dingle in my little black book

Just a point of order here chaps, I think you are all missing the point. Who on earth in this neck of the woods would want to watch Burnley v Blackburn Rovers. I would have thought either the BBC or Sky will plump for the Manchester United v Everton clash as THE game of the round, with a certain Wayne Rooney returning to his old haunts. Burnley v Blackburn - don't make me laugh. Like watching Wigan Athletic or worse.
Don't be under any illusions that the FA run football; they don't, the bizzies do. I will bet you that this little encounter wil be re-arranged to Sunday lunchtime, on police orders. So the biggest game in the area, on that particular Saturday afternoon will be Stanley versus Barnet.
I didn't say it was going to be the biggest attendance of the season...just one of the biggest. With a couple of wins against Scarborough and Exeter (fingers crossed!) and the extra interest provided by playing the team who will probably be conference champs, I would've expected the game to attract around 1,800 - our third biggest attendance, but perhaps I was being wildly over-optimistic as usual!
Burnley and Rovers are probably the second biggest rivalries in England, behind utd city.
Fantastic game for the neutrals. This game will deffinitely be on TV. Sunday with a 12pm kick off will probably be when the tie is played.
This is one tie that Sky/BBC dont get to chose the kick off time, the police will be choosing it for safety thats why it will be in the morning. Police arevery dissapointed with this tie because of all the trouble that will happen.
I think this will affect our attendance a bit against Barnet even though they wont be playing on the same day or time.
Are you real? a relagation threaten club with no history and a perment lower league club wow how exciting either Englands gone down hill and forgotten about Newcastle and Sunderland, Spurs v Arsenal, Villa v Birmingham or any of the other 100 or so Derbys that are way above those two.
