Views from the Sieve

Uxbridge are currently middling in Isthmian division 1 south central (same level but different region from Beckenham). Still they were good enough to beat Dover on penalties in the last round.

That is a lot of home games (six, I think?) in a six week period..

Errr, win and then Heybridge/Hungerford in the next round ? God you have to win a lot of games to do well in this don’t you

Uxbridge are a decent draw for progress. We shouldn't expect to steamroll them like Beckenham. However it should be a good match with a straightforward result. Certainly happy to have another home tie. Always good to have a few extra quid coming through our gates.

Glad you made it on to the Views website. We are crossing paths all over the internets. :-)

I have been having a hard time listening (and posting) on the MixIr commentaries but still staying on top of the happenings of the Daggers.

Terrace closed wow! They expecting a low crowd then.

Week before Xmas after a run of several home games in a row and with Uxbridge having barely 100 fans at home games it makes total sense to maximise revenue for both clubs by closing stands which means less stewards etc. Lucky if there is 500 in attendance for this one.

Hemel Hempstead or Maidenhead at home next round if we win, 14 Jan

Very comfortable last night, we’ll apart from my freezing toes! Through to the next round now, hopefully we can go deep into this competition knowing play offs are very unlikely with our huge backlog of games, injury record and lack of consistency.

I agree it was very cold at the game and hopefully with another home game can progress in this cup. Does anyone know the official attendance?

463 was the official attendance.

I did think it must have been around 500 and sat in the middle of the carling stand which seemed well occupied, so there was a bit of an atmosphere which was good.
