Wouldn't get too excited yet. Small matter of the replay first, then look at who is left in the draw. Can't see any of those putting out second teams. IF we win the replay, Telford our best chance, you'd think?

Orient in the Semi's, they won't want to risk injuring key players bearing in mind their League run in - mind you, Orient reserves might beat us !

Orient are taking this competition v seriously. They might not get another chance of Wembley for a few years if they go up.
Btw..perhaps we should play our FATrophy line up in league games!!!

Once you get to the s mid, you have to take them seriously, don't you? Surely, the players will want their hit of glory? Does beg the question of our cup v league form though. Churlish I know, but makes you wonder if they try that bit harder in one off cup games. Maybe when the equation is down to nine cup finals in order to stay up, suddenly we will find form in the league!

Are you sure of this? Last night it looked like they were going to take it seriously. Anyway, I'm sure the FAT gods won't gift us Telford, and the home leg will be 23/3 - when I CAN'T BLEEDING GO!!!! Missing the Fleet game was bad enough, but now our first ever FAT semi!!!! Takes deep breath - there is, of course, the small matter of the replay to come yet...

Don't get too carried away with this cup run, we've played 3 teams in lower leagues and Salford reserves, I'll get a bit more excited if we beat fylde or Leyton orient in the semi's. Which is still a long shot in my eyes. I think if we beat Stockport our best chance is Telford in semi's.

Why we could maybe shithouse a win against Orient or Fylde in a one off game, we don't stand a chance in hell of beating them over 2 legs.......they just have way to much quality.

Or then again maybe it's better to dare to dream. A two leg semi final is after all still only two one-off games.

AFC Fylde are also taking it seriously, since they are trying to become the first club to win both the FA Vase & the FA Trophy (not in the same season, obviously)
But, that is currently out of their hands, since Northwich Victoria (trophy winners in 83/84) might beat them to it by a matter of hours!

How do you know the date of the home leg when the draw hasn’t been made yet? I was predicting - as that's the day I can't make!

Two legged semi is possibly not in our favour, but to even get this far in FAT in our "annus horribilis" season, even against reserve teams, is still an achievement, as was Saturdays result, so lets enjoy every moment whilst it lasts, lets dare to dream, and pack the JWW to the rafters Tuesday with lots of noise to see Cass and co turn it on again to send us to the semis. We have had little to cheer at home this season, so this is our chance. COYS!
