Had this taken place at any other ground, the rivals of that team would’ve been living off that “shit grandstand” statement for years. However we all know that Circus FC will be along in a few days with a loaded shotgun ready to take aim at their own feet again for our amusement.

Bristol Rob Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Wonder if they'll sell out the away end, or will they use the excuse that the are within their 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime and would rather stream a game on their Nokia.

Against the likes of Chippenham Town..! I think what he means is that it’s difficult for players from Rovers, because their facilities are lagging behind most of the clubs at that level and they aren’t really ready for it..!

This must be a bit like supporting Liverpool or Man City. I hope we keep winning in this tournament for the sake of the prize money. Would be nice to give some young lads and normal rotation players some minutes and get a few wins. Looking at the teams that are left and the ones that went through last night there’s no reason we can’t go all the way. Having said that, I hope we win each game in front of a crowd of about 50 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 7 minutes ago, CotswoldRed said: Prize money? Will hardly pay for the stewards. It took me a while to find it but the prize money for getting to and winning the thing seems to be just over £300k. They get 20k for taking part and the early rounds they get 10k for a win and 5k for a draw. Round 2 (last night) they got 20k, as you say, it must have cost around half of that to stage the game. The prize money jumps up from here on though, and you would imagine all those “boycotting” will throw those concerns aside to go to Wembley, which will add to the income. It could keep them in business a bit longer. It will be interesting to see what their gate is on Saturday, as they could move into the play off places as they are playing Southend.
