If that’s aimed at what I said, I’d hoped I’d clarified what I meant, and if that constitutes a ‘venomous’ comment, well, blimey, I don’t know what to say. Sorry?

Not you chap...look at twitter

In fact the one reason I come on here is because I have found reasonable like minded fans

Fair. Genuinely wasn’t trying to be an arse, and if I’ve come across as one can only apologise.

This seems by far the most contentious comment I’ve read on here.

With the semi-final arrangements only sorted two days ago, I find it hard to see how anyone can criticise the club, largely on Twitter, for not sorting TV coverage in that time. Particularly with it being a Bank Holiday weekend with many of the companies who provide such services not working.
Give the club time to make arrangements you idiots!

Latest from Concord saying it’ll be a pay per view stream

Happy to pay if we can watch!

It would still be ace though if somehow we could get a screen at The Grove, open the bar and all watch together, would be quite and atmosphere, though I realise it would take some organising and those organising would most likely be at the game.

Social distancing and masks of course.

Yes of course, everyone’s health and safety comes before anything.

I thought folks wanted to scrap it and take the money?

Whatever happens, nothing will take the atmosphere at Barnet and to a lesser degree, Halifax away from my memories. The atmosphere at both was fantastic. In fact all of last season was so much better than the last few years since we got promoted last time....as you know. The potential this club has when everyone pulls together.....

Don't know what is going on, but just seen this on Twitter
We are working as hard as possible in conjunction with
@ConcordRangers to come up with a solution that will allow fans of both teams to watch the game, we will bring you full details as soon as we can.
Sending abusive tweets to either club or members of either club solves nothing

The clubs should not be being blamed for this situation

There's only one club that should be receiving criticism from fans, here. And it's not Halesowen.

Just seen a post regarding the cup tie rules. I haven't seen any guidance from the FA. I wonder if the club or JC have?

If we haven't (which is more likely than not, given the complete shambolic nature of the archaic organisation at the FA), how will Paul Smith approach the game?

I.e Does he risk playing New Bloke who would normally be Cup tied? I can see a situation arising where the FA decide to punish us for fielding an ineligible player. Of course we're not the only club in that situation.

I haven't kept tabs on the other 3 clubs, but I would imagine at least one club has had a significant playing staff turnaround? Surely the usual cup tie rules do not apply for the remainder of the competition? Although, strangely, if they do apply, could that be beneficial to us?

Alternatively the FA could have already provided clear and thorough guidance, and the above is irrelevant. Also, pigs will fly over the Grove tonight.
