didnt expect as much interest as this for the halifax cup game gonna be close to 3,000 at the shay the club is expecting.

700 wrexham fans.

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

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.

yeah well good luck to Ilkeston tomoz.

i will be hoping for a big scalp against Wrexham and a place in first round.

Well you can not go into the game in better form so you have to be hopeful.

well its thw first defeat of the season.

1-0 in the 90th minute there goal was we were knackered were our players but gave it there all. probs deserved a replay byt we were always gonna lose eventually.

now back to winning the league and remaining unbeaten in that.

good attendance 2,800 great attendance.

proud shayman tonight even in defeat.

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!

will be a nice place to see who we would have got

1-0 defeat in the 90th minute they scored.

2,800 at the shay, 2,400 Halifax fans the place was buzzing.

hope you get leeds at home.

there are so many big teams in league 1 and 2 that you have the chance to get a big pay day,

Is Ilkeston's ground big enough to be able to host a game against leeds if you get them.?

I'd say yes

They segregate the ground half and half so they would give Leeds perhaps 1,500 to 2,000 tickets and the home fans would have perhaps 2,500 tickets (there is an extra seated stand in one corner which holds about 500 or so I guess).

Problem is the Police got jumpy at playing Eastwood and Tamworth so they will brick themselves at playing Leeds.

yeah that might be the problem.

today they told the people that were stood up at the back of the seated stand to move because of health and safety obviously cause there were so many people there, they needed the health and safety as it turns out the people didnt move anyway.

the police might not allow the game to be played because of health and safety because the attendance will be massive.

The FA have tigtened up on sides moving games and if Ilkeston want to aim for the Conference it would not go down well.

Think only Leeds would cause a problem as Notts County would also travel in big numbers but they do not have the reputation Leeds carry with them.
