Not bad......think there may be just over a thousand at Ilkeston but I get the sense Tamworth are not too fussed by the FA Cup so far so might not take many (plus last time they played at Ilkeston they lost 7-1 which probably does not help).

My gf's 4yr old lad will be totally confused tomorrow as he's only started going to games this season and has always been supporting either Tamworth or Ilkeston so I do not know who he will be shouting for.

Could really make things worse by getting him to wear his Tamworth shirt and Ilkeston scarf but I'm not that cruel lol

yeah and when Halifax were on a 7 game winning run last season. Rossendale were the team to end that.

wheres that game at home or away for you guys.

Was joshing, there not too bad I suppose, it's just a few of the lads reckon it'll be a cakewalk :/

It's away so even more tricky, we really shouldn't lose it, i'd take a draw.

Unlucky there! Great attendance mind, no shame in losing there.

I see Ilkeston beat Tamworth 2-0. Nice!

Rossendale 1 - 3 Warrington, a comfortable victory for us, played well in large parts of the game, I believe they are bottom now with Salford winning!?

Northwich 3-0 Fc United too in the f.a cup, wanted them to draw Leeds in 1st round proper, ah well!

was a good attendance. the place was buzzing today.

it was a hammer blow to concede so late but the players were out on there feet. even after they scored we had a good chance to get level. it just wasnt our day today but am happy that we only lost 1 time in 20 matches this season.

yeah saw the Ilkeston score they did really well.

Wrexham brought 400 to the shay today, which means 2,400 of the fans there today were town fans, you can guarentee they wont be there for the nxt league game though but thats they way it goes.

Wrexham on there website were saying we probably deserved something but we were never gonna win the fa cup so it had to end somewhere.

we have a better chance of going far in the fa trophy.

Tamworth were awful and had a 47 year old and 45 year old on the bench and only 4 subs. Could be a long hard season from here on in for them. Very poor crowd though but hopefully a nice home draw in the next round....I've been saying Notts County (home) since August but 1pm on ITV will be an exciting place to be to see who we get.
