I stand to be corrected on this but I'm sure I've seen somewhere Concords away end is 700.

Decent draw. Shame it's not the other way round but hey ho. Looking at the capacities I'm amazed Royston is 5000. Concord looks much bigger!
I've just looked at pictures and I'm amazed also. In fact I don't believe it holds 5000

Excellent draw as we can now 'scout' both teams on Tuesday when the play the quarter final.
Ideal for our tactical magicians to work on another masterplan

It's a pity the second leg isn't at home for two reasons. Firstly, you always want to have the second leg at home.
Secondly, there are no Prem or Championship games on the 28th so there would have been an even bigger crowd at the Grove.
Out of all the teams left in, Royston would be the one I would be most wary of. They are on a similar run to us in the league above.
They've won 14 out of the last 15, and beaten a couple of National League clubs and Chester in the Trophy.
I will be surprised if Concord beat them despite being in a higher division.

Not sure where that 5,000 comes from as on the SL site is says 1.980 !!!!!!!! Now that could be a BIG problem

I can see us being given an allocation for away supporters no matter who we play, nothing official yet of course as we don't know who we are playing.

Well gutted I cant make the first leg, but can the second. This wont be an easy tie, no matter who, there are no poor teams at this stage. However as others have said this is a real opportunity

Be lovely to have Atherstone with us at Wembley on Non-league Finals Day - top bunch of lads
Am I alone in seeing the sarcasm dripping from Piearce’s post?

Wasn't missed on me. Horrible fan base.
Went there a few back for a friendly, and one of their fans shouted something about 'stab him' towards one of our players.

The league website is showing that the Didcot home game has been rearranged for the Tuesday in between the semi final matches.
