Alty fans can now pay on the day on Saturday, if they so wish, Gateshead have just informed us. Story on Alty's official website.

[CRT Butty]

Thanks, I am sure there are some who will use that.

Did they say how many away tickets online had been sold?

Thanks

[Alty Bri]

Stating the obvious, but we really need to get as many people there as possible as the team are really going to need to hear us. 4 of us going down early morning.

[andrewflynn]

Plenty on the train. We'll travel well.

[Mrs Warbouys]

We were supposed to be in the East stand opposite the big stand but gateshead website this evening saying we will be housed in the north of the main stand

[CRT Butty]

Quick ☕ then off to get my 🚆.

Come on Alty.

[RolfGoad]

Big up all the travelling fans. Really great effort. Exciting radio!

[Darren]

When will the replay be likely to take place this week or next?

[Sarf London Alty]

A week Tuesday I believe. I think it’s only until the 4th Qualifying Round that the replays are immediately the following midweek. Once you are in the competition proper it’s always been the midweek after. I think a lot of this is down to it being comprised of larger clubs once you are in the 1st round, so more planning and policing considerations etc mean a longer gap is needed.

And there will be some televised replays to arrange.

Solihull V Wigan looks like a good bet.

I must confess I did not like the ground much. Viewing was awful because of the running track. It was like watching ants running around busily at times rather than two football teams. I don't like football pitches where you are miles away from the action. Winsford United I think also springs to mind.

I also recollect the speedway track at The Shay when we lost 3-1 against Halifax Town in the FA Cup First Round back in November 1975.

Supporters of a certain vintage will probably also recall New Brighton's stadium, where the football pitch was surrounded by an athletics track.

Kirkby Town's former ground, Simonswood Lane (where a young John King honed his crunching tackles in the late 1960s/early 1970s), was another example:

You could say much the same about Grantham - but it didn't spoil my enjoyment on our visit there !

At least that one was patrolled by some efficient ball boys lead by one with a beard if I recall correctly
