Exactly. If it was saturday i know a few that would've gone but are now going to be watching it down the pub.

Don't you travel well - do you need to take Quells before you set off ? I want some good banter off you lot on Sunday - if you are bothered about the weather, I could lend you a green and white scarf !! If not many of you turn up I fear the encounter could be a bit one-sided - get behind your team!!![/quote]
To add to AFKA's comments the practicality of getting to Northwich for a 1.30 PM KO on a Sunday means setting off at ridiculously early o'clock if you are going by train and not that much later by car/coach.[/quote]
Rubbish Black Forest Gateaux! we're on the 844 from Euston & we're there by midday! If people don't want to go fair enough but don't talk crap about having to get up early.[/quote]
The 8.44 at Euston means getting a train from Sidcup/Bexleyheath area about half 7 and that's if there aren't engineering works. I don't know what world you live in when getting up before 7am on a sunday isn't classed as early.[/quote]+
I live in a world very close to you Chris as I will be getting a train from Sidcup about 730 unless I doss at Euston overnight as Shag suggests! The old saying "everyone comes out for the cup" appears lost on us for this one.
Just thought, we will probably have a lot of reserves playing, as many of the first team are looking tired / injured and we have to play 6 of them against Soton.

I am one of the 1,500 who changed their minds.
Was more that interested in making the trip. But Sunday, at 1pm, drinking and getting back late on a school night is the worst time in the world for a football game. Doubled with the being on telly, nice warm pub it is for me :-)
tbh 3,350 Gillingham, nearly 700 Carlisle, 500 Northwich (Sun on box), 500 Saints (Wed on box in Paint Pot) and probably over 1,000 at Yeovil all in the space of a couple of weeks ain't bad. We had trouble convincing clubs to open turnstiles for our away support last season.
Comments
I'm a bit surprised that so many people aren't feeling the romance of the cup!
me too to be honest, even though I have the excuse of being an "exile", my train leaves at 7.50am so that means leaving my flat by 7.15

i think there may be a coach running up there too
they (NV) would've probably been better off financially drawing tooting and mitcham or sutton utd.
£69,000 i think
From memory the sum was around £50,000. I'm not sure if that's still the case.
So they won't gain as much as they would like as they've lost 1500 Charlton at £14 = £21,000.Plus will they lose any "home" support ?
PS We probably had about 5 going who are not now.
We need them rested and fit for MK Dons.
