Have they released details on price etc yet.  Cannot see anything on official site!  Got somebody visiting the area for a few days over that weekend and they would like to book tickets!

Not seen 'owt, since online ticketing doesn't have it I guess they haven't finalized it yet.

Both clubs have to agree the pricing, don't they?  I'm paying $110 (combined) to watch Atlanta Utd with my little one next weekend, I imagine it will be less than that.

There's this on the York O/S:

Nothing on ours yet.  ::)

Thanks PF

Cheers Fraser.

£10 sounds fair enough

Here you go

Two Brexit 50p coins for the kids.

94p?

Was thinking of giving it a miss,   but,  could well change my mind now if it's just a tenner !.  Cheapest 'get out of Christmas shopping' I can think of !.

York are 2 down to Spennymoor Town. Are we better than Spennymoor?

Useless fact- I saw Hot Chocolate in The Top Hat in Spennymoor back in 1970 something.

No logic in the cup.

Stupid cup.

Useless fact 2 - the creator of The Teletubbies came from Spennymoor

What a cunt for creating the Teletubbies.

And one for Reg and others of a certain age, George Courtney...

Can't get any pictures to post for some reason.

George was a good ref.... think he was a teacher, maybe even a head. I wonder how we'd get on at Spennymoor on a Tuesday night?

I see from the press conference:

PB | 🗣️💬

"Toumani Diagouraga won't be involved. Olly Lancashire will be available. Michael Doughty is on a course of antibiotics after an infection spread through his foot. He won't be available. Marc Richards is 50/50."

#STFC 🔴

rumour on the FB site is Dave got arrested for something...

while not treating it as gospel, I diagnosed the Connor Thomas stuff initially too.

could also just be a thigh strain :)

All the loan players are available though, which is good.

York City have a player with the surname York, fact fans.

That's nothing, Bradley Stoke have a player called Bradley Stokes. Beat that!

Brilliant.

And when the transfer window opens in January, a couple of ours ditto their names / future club, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportivo_Wanka

He got taken to the station and released from what I've heard.

As far as names go I still can't get over our 2 CB's last season being Preston & Lancashire. That always tickled me

A few years back, the Monkeyhangers had Hartley and Poole playing for them.

Perhaps we should sign Fuchs and Witts

Wolfsburg were managed by Wolfgang Wolf not too long ago.

Full English Buffet at the Village? (assuming that's where they are staying).

I thought visiting teams stayed at the four pillars? I know many STFC loan players have stayed there in the past.

He makes it sound like they're starving orphans who are going to gorge themselves at the first sight of a lukewarm Travelodge hash brown and beans buffet!

One of the things that'll be interesting tomorrow, will be to see if there's much of a gap between us and a Conference N side. We know from recent experience there isn't between us and Conference sides, as I don't think we've beaten one for a while.

My feeling is there won't be.... York sound like they're still full time pros. 

honestly, their fans are equally as scathing of their team as we are off ours.

nothing to worry about

isn't the for better there? winner

Big John Parkin is going to score, isn't he?

Only if he follows the manager's order not to eat too much breakfast.  :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

Nobody needs reminding that our record against conference teams is rank. This is not a recent development, and has been the case for over 20 years.

However, York are no longer a conference team, because they are not good enough to be one. Whenever we've played teams from their current level in relatively recent years we've won comfortably. Dartford were in form and top of the Conference South, but we went 5-0 up inside an hour. York's form is worse than ours.

As most have acknowledged, there's absolutely no excuse for anything other than a relatively straightforward home win.

if we crap up against the 15th best team in national North it's time for stfc to give up football.

that said, I hope the wind drops before Saturday

Lay of the beans batch

It would hardly be the biggest of upsets. 2 divisions of separation? No different to a L2 club beating a Championship team - in fact, that would probably be the bigger upset.

I’ve gone for an upset acca- York, FGR, Chesterfield and Cobblers.

Tenner pays just under £3000!

Looking at Richard B's site, it appears Parkin has never played against STFC, whcih comes as something of a surprise.

We did edge Woking 1-0 in 09/10.... 4 failures since.

They are and, yes, the fans are up in arms because 7 or 8 of the squad are reported as having contracts to the end of next season, let alone this.

They aren’t great (seen them 3 times this season) but big and could bully us. The left back has a decent free kick on him, as I said before Moke is a class midfielder and Parkin, who tends to be a sub, will flatten anyone in his way - he’s got a decent touch too.

We should stuff them but I wouldn’t be surprised if we draw 1-1 then we win the replay.

Looks like Collins has had a few three course meals himself since his playing days ended.

When you are in a period of historic shitness, such things should not be taken for granted. Avoiding an upset should be considered a success....a replay would also bring in a few quid so that wouldn’t be disastrous.

Slightly off topic, heartbreak for Hairingey Borough tonight.

But 1988 FA Cup winners AFC wimbledon got through

A replay would only make money if a TV company wished to see us humiliated... I'm not sure if we're in that sort of territory, any longer. Losing at Tooting and Mitcham was shown on Sportsnight with Coleman.... losing v plucky Div 4 side Oxford, got in the BBC's revenge for the stoning of the com box containing Hansen and Des Lynham.  We then had efforts v Crawley and Eastleigh... but no, there was still sufficient pride to wait for the replay to lose.

Doubt TV decision makers would consider York winning as an upset

Was in the Shrivvy so not involved Reg  :)

This rain better do one. Was mega confident of threshing York, but that weathers a leveller

You made the same spelling mistake on your twitter post as well. That's what happens when you copy and past because you're too lazy to type  ;)

I clearly meant it in the context of separating the wheat from the chaff :)

The failures have all been versus Conference teams.

Hence I stated that our record versus Conference teams is rank.

Threshing eh? Bit late getting your corn crop in, might be a bit soggy.

common sense would suggest that the decision on which replays to televise would depend on what other fixtures there are to choose from
