Will the likes of JCH, Davies and THD be risked on a plastic pitch when they are coming back from injuries? I reckon we could field a team very similar to the one in the first leg, do hope JCH is given an opportunity at some point though, we are so much better with him in the team.
Bromley are a good side for their division granted but if we come with a game plan and play well we should have nothing to fear.

Tomorrow we march on Bromley, and put them to the sword. Judging by how their game went on Saturday I will not take anything for granted until the final whistle. Not going to be easy.....and on TV as well 🤔 You would hope the TV/Media factor will get to their boys more than our own. |

I hope we've been training on a similar pitch this week. It's very different to playing on grass and Bromley will have a big advantage if we aren't prepared for it.

I think I saw the first team training at Hillside Gardens at the back end of last week, I may be wrong.

We have according to The Gaffers interview this morning. At night too apparently to replicate colder conditions with dew on the surface. |

Bromley are a good side for their division granted but if we come with a game plan and play well we should have nothing to fear. GC suggested THD will play another warm up game this week (the GFA Cup game?) but after his impact on Tuesday I'd be tempted to risk him as a late sub tomorrow night. I'd be disappointed if JCH didn't start tomorrow night, no idea what the score is with Davies, assuming he's out then I'd start with Rollin. |

So who is ready for our ritual humiliation this evening ?
Apparently [told via family friend of one of our players] they are
dreading the artificial surface

Apparently [told via family friend of one of our players] they are dreading the artificial surface Rightfully so ...... artificial pitches are bloody awful and you can’t play proper football on them. I’d stop watching if Rovers ever got one. |

The pitch is going to be difficult for us, think it's time to give cam Hargreaves a go, fit young player would flourish against them. Cant see JCH THD Tom D or ollie c being risked.
We should have played better at home to have dodged this, hope we win.

Anyone know a pub showing the game in Fishponds/Downed. Asked in the Old Post Office last night and they were not that keen. They said they will only show game if there is not a big game on!

Most pubs with BT sports should be showing the Rovers game tonight.
The only other "big" game on Sky Sports tonight is Wales V Hungary

Personally I think it's disgraceful that people are upset with GC. The bloke is a genius. Here's why: 1. Attendances are split 50/50 in the FA Cup, GC knows this 2. GC knew our attendance would be lower than usual. 3,649 attendance 3. Bromley can hold 5,000 - that will be a sell out. 4. In total, that's attendance money of 8,649 5. He also knew that if they were interested in the home leg, they'll love the away leg 6. Win at Bromley, pick up the prize money, attendance money is higher & TV money is higher He's probably made us about 75k more than we would have had if we just won tbh. Martin Starnes eat your heart out Will Bromley really sell out for a game which is also live on TV? Going on Barnet's attendance last season I'd have thought they'd be lucky to beat Sunday's gate? Confirmed sell out. #GCIsAGenius |

200 away tickets Sold. Shouldn’t be a problem looking scarce on TV, it’s in the far corner of the ground, on the end of the terrace behind the left hand goal.
For those that remember the crumbling, barb wired fenced in away ends of yesteryear, this is more of the same but similar size to a holding pen.
