Enfield Town have tweeted that they have been drawn away to us in the 2nd round of the Middx snr cup - will be interesting at to whether we play the game at the Hive or switch to the Donkeydome!!

[John Hunt]

Why not play the game away on the 16th July? I suspect the side we send will be similar.

Will we switch?
Should we switch?
Where would the donkeys prefer, their place or ours?

[jerroll]

We haven't played a home county cup match (other than the 2011 final) since the abandoned WGC game in 2006, we must have had an agreement with the herts fa to only play away as i can't believe we would have had 0 home draws in 9 seasons!

[ricardobee]

I suspect somebody at the club didn't want to enter the competition as the expected crowd wouldn't pay the expenses for a home evening game and was happy to play all games away from home.

Still no news on this fixture.
Most of the second round games have been scheduled for Tuesday 8th November. That is the date of our Meaningless Cup match v Peterborough.
Does anyone know any more about the date and the venue of this "local derby"?

[Reckless]

10 of theirs and 10 of ours meet at the Bus Stop of Hate is the way to settle it. ........

I would suspect we will wait and see the result of the FA youth cup game next tuesday with formerly non-league Luton before setting a date for this game. If we go out I would expect the Enfailed Town game to be w/c 14 november.

Jerroll, do you think the tie will be switched to Donkey Arse Lane?

[jerroll]

Yes I do hoppy, if we can avoid using the Dive I'm sure we will.
