WTF was going on with the turnstiles today?? I arrived at 2.30 to be greeted with a queue up towards the library....me thinking ''wow we gonna struggle to get a decent view today, it must be jam packed for there to be a queue like this'' finally get into the ground and it didn't look any more busy than a normal league game where we get 2300-2400.
Was easy to get a place on the barrier so I don't think the announced attendance was that unrealistic.

The attendance figures are always fiddled for cup games, as the away side gets half the gate receipts.

On train from Euston to Macclesfield after seeing Stones deservedly win after a dire first half. My companion a Macclesfield supporter is not as happy after seeing them capitulate after taking the lead. Looking forward to seeing who they get in second round.

Whisper it quietly, the last five games read won three, draw one, lost one. Play off form? Do the same in the next five league games and we can start breathing/believing again.

First half completely shit. Balls chewed off second half. Cassidy and Romain terrorising the defence. Cassidy in particular is the complete nuts. Pax nice and tidy. Powell great free kick. Turgott scores again. Turgott always scores. Defence are getting it together finally. Special mention for George n Michael playing with Freedom. Smith is a proper old school keeper.Finney my Was awesome. Onwards and Upwards

Still not convinced by Finney though - much better than pre-Barnet, but still too many long kicks that go nowhere. Smith brilliant, just hope we can hang on to him - could become a Stones legend. Phillips looked shakey early on, but grew into the game - looking like Harry's found the right position for him. Don't know what to make of Walton - one minute a rock, the next kicking balls aimlessly, and apparently on a suicide mission to get sent off. It will be intersting to see how we are without him when the inevitable suspension arrives. Didn't really notice the new guy when he came on. Why is it aways Pax who gets subbed? If there's one player I'd definitely keep on the pitch, it's Pax.

On a completely unrelated point - what are the words to the 'every Saturday' chant? I'm gradually pieceing them together, but still can't get some lines. Real ear-worm of a tune - sticks in my head for days after games!

Ground was rammed. Did Diane Abbott count the crowd?? All very Jim Thompson-esq. Well, don't forget we still have someone very important at the club who probably learnt a lot of tricks from Jim lol

I guess that game shows what a manager can do to players mind set and confidence at half time! They couldnt pass the ball in the first half then came out and played outstanding! We clearly have the players now to be comfortable in the league, just need them to play Like the 2nd 45 for 90 minutes.

The military walkout with the teams was very moving. Impecabbly observed. Proud to be British

FGR had a similar 1st season - I wonnder how much money it took to keep them up? Its unfortunately what happens when a very good Manager and best players move on. I will still still keep using my Season ticket as well as coming to see the Stones my No 1 team whenever I can.

Real ear-worm of a tune - sticks in my head for days after games! It's an interesting one but I think a bit much and goes on too long. Not moaning though it's good we're trying new ones. I did miss the we love you we love you etc at the end, thought that would have been more apt! "On Saturday we follow, on saturday we sing, the best support in non league, (we're?) the famous county town... anyone give the next part cause I don't know that bit...
