I can't go, though.
Go on!you know you want to,should be a good game isnt that a local derby?
I do want to. It's not exactly local, but It'd be fun. I'm going to my mate's house, though - he's got an inflatable bouncy castle assault course for the weekend!
Update:
Hitchin Town 1 - 1 Saffron Walden Town
A fantastic match in which Walden totally dominated every ariel ball ended in a draw, resulting in Hitchin being taken back to Caton's Lane for the replay on Wednesday evening. The home team took the lead in the 84th minute after a claim for a foul on the Walden goalkeeper was ignored. The underdogs then pushed forwards and sent waves of attacks for the remainder of the match. Hitchin made 3 goalline clearances before the back of their net was finally hit by a header by Ben Something (I dunno...Walden's centre back. Big bald dude. Number 5. You know the one).
And I won't be able to go to the replay cos I've got too much work.

Sadly I didn't go. I did end up going to my mate's bouncy castle assault course, but on the way there I got a phone call from my ecstatic Dad who went. On the bright side, though, the assualt course was great fun!

I see the winners of your round have got Bognor Regis at home,if you get through hope for a draw and a return at Bognor,brilliant day out with some great welcoming fans down by the seaside

Just as long as it's at the weekend! Although, sadly, it'll probably be a Wednesday.

My venture today saw a trip to a lovely part of the world the New Forest and a game at high flying (in their league) 'Lymington & New Milton FC'(pic below) for the 2nd qualifying round of the FA Cup,it was an action packed game with Basingstoke Town going down to 10 men in the first 8 minutes but we held on for a replay back at the camrose on tuesday night,a great day out rounded off with a drink with the players and watching Sheff utd v Middlesboro on the box in the clubhouse afterwards.
