When the draw was made, being paired with Chippenham received a mixed reaction from the gang. On one hand, it was a bit of a day out on the train, to somewhere we’d never visited before and an excuse for a few beers (like we need one anyway). On the other, we had to get up frigging early to travel out to a side who had absolutely smashed fellow Conf South’ers Newport 4-0 in the previous round and had won 5 out of 5 of their home games so far.

Let's be honest, away to Basingstoke is never the first match we look for when the fixtures are released.

In fact, the place has actually improved markedly from the miserable 60's concrete hellhole it was on my first visit back in the early 90's.

SUTTON UNITED - 2 [Gray p29. Corbett 45.]
Another saturday, another six pointer for the U’s! And sadly, for such a good away days drinking, the crew is almost pathetically threadbare. Only Windy and myself are on the early train into London.

EASTBOURNE BOROUGH - 2 [Simmonds 45. Odubade 82.]
SUTTON UNITED - 2 [Gray p47. O’Shea 90.]
After the heart stopping, artery clogging, fingernail devouring stressful 90 minutes of last saturday's visit of Maidenhead, a nice quiet, relaxing trip to the seaside would no doubt be the perfect rest cure. Sadly, when it comes to Sutton United visiting the seaside, our trips are anything but quiet and relaxing. So a long day of drinking and stupidity will have to do instead then. What a shame!

The week following last Saturdays abject defeat to Weston has been a bloody long one. Although quite why we’d be waiting apprehensively for the next game after that shower of shite is beyond me.

WESTON SUPER MARE - 2 [Rawlins 28.45]
Last saturday of course produced that vital and slightly unexpected win at high flying Lewes. Their first home defeat in some 5 months no less! So how did we follow that up? By losing at home to a side as bad away from home as we are AT home of course!

With the postponements of last week, we’ve been left gagging for a bit of footy. Thankfully the super result at Lewes on the saturday has gone some way to filling the gap.
But, tonight’s the big one. It’s Surrey Cup time again!

So much so, that even the almost-but=not-quite seasidey trips like Havant & todays oppo Lewes were seriously considered for piss ups.

Another Saturday, another 6 pointer. Margate supplied our first home league win back at the end of October, offering little resistance in a 2-0 defeat. Sadly, I doubt we’ll get as lucky today as they’re on a bit of a run, having won their last 4 games on the bounce.

HAYES - 4 [Dyer 37.51.67. Dean 89]
With our recent run of injuries depleting an already thin squad, everyone at the club was pretty relieved to get 10 days off after the Surrey Cup win over Woking to rest and recuperate.
The only problem with this is, we’re notoriously bad after a break. And this occasion proves to be no exception.

Great.

SUTTON UNITED - 3 [Gray 1. p27. Akuamouah 64]
After the recent burst in form that's seen the U’s climb away from the bottom 3, the last week has been tough. First a battling display against league leaders Grays in the Trophy ended ultimately in defeat. But at least there was something to cheer about. Unlike the terrible performance against Cambridge 3 days later. Still, we’d have the influential figures of Gray & Akuamouah back for the trip to Havant, so all is not lost.

We always knew this little sequence of 2 games would be tough, but with Gray, Akuamouah and Hemsley out for differing reasons just made it even tougher. Thankfully Hemsley will be one man returning tonight as his absence on Saturday was just down to Crawley not wanting him ‘cup tied’ in the FA Trophy.
