You should be ok but they are a funny side as there are 3 Unibond South sides and one Midland alliance team within about a 4 mile radius so players and managers tend to flit from one club to another plus they all try to get anyone decent from Loughborough University.

They draw a lot so another game could be on the cards with a replay.

this is getting stupid now.

your trying to tell me that there is this huge price for success in these leagues.

in higher leagues your rewarded for success in competitions in the lower leagues the only reward you get is being 10 games behind the rest of the league by christmas.

its stupid it really is.

Very true

Chaestown are probably the prime example when they reached the FA Cup 3rd Round (as a Southern League Midlands team...same level as you).

They just ran out of steam and missed out in the play offs when they were by far the best team in their league that season and they still have not gone up 3 seasons later (though they are now in the Unibond South due to reorganization).

they need to get it sorted. i'm not suprised the teams with more experaince at this level have already been knocked out of most of the cups they probably new they would do better if they did.

Stop bloody moaning, just be happy your winning. Aspin knows what he's doing, if he thought been in all these competitions was hindering you he would have fielded the kids and got you knocked out of them. Can't believe somebody is moaning about their team been succesful
