The attendance maybe more then that. We have 3 supporters coaches making the trip.
That's 150 on coaches alone.
Also, do you have sky sports in the clubhouse?

Excellent attendance of 406.
Best for a home tie in the Qualifying Rounds since 580 for the game v Bury Town in 2009.

Leatherhead or Heybridge Swifts at home would do for me in Round 1
If we play a league team, home to Crawley as I grew up watching them

People coming on here have been asking for three things from the team: more resolute and sensible defending; pressing opposition up the pitch, and more shots on goal. Today the Hoops certainly delivered the first two, aided by playing two up front, and the pressing led to chances and the first goal. Overall we had a few more shots than in recent matches too.Though I was surprised to see Zac left out, Jonah proved to have got team selection and tactics right today, and the lads worked hard for each other with no one letting the side down. The defence, with a determined Hendo at the heart, looked stronger and restricted Bognor, for the most part, to half chances: Jack only had to make a couple of saves. But our failure to convert any of several good chances at the other end, including the penalty, kept us all on edge until the final whistle, because an equaliser might well have meant an exit in a South Coast replay.
All credit to the Bognor fans who showed up in good numbers and contributed a lot to the atmosphere.Best moment was that superb goal from Patterson -- what a volley! For that, we can forgive the penalty miss which led to a very tense second half. Four bookings showed something about our determination to hold on, though one or two were a bit harsh, especially Stevens'.

Spot on Rijs, shore up defence, battle more competitively in midfield and give Pato a strike partner, hey presto a win  Thought we really pretty good. I had a pop at Hendo early season as he looked poor and was getting ripped up, yesterday he was the perfect partner for the impressive Oastler, the whole defence just looked far more solid and cohesive. Another great goal by Pato to win match, yes, probably should have had more, but it was so important just to get a win. Oxford United or Bristol Rovers at home please |

Bury's goalkeeper made a return visit for Leiston the other week! Not really sure if 406 can be described as excellent...150 from Bognor! Given that, feel 650-700 could be described as such! |

Since I’ve now moved to Cheshire, can we be drawn away at Nantwich, please? (Although the Dabbers still have to get past Kettering in the replay). It would be terrifically convenient for me. Thank you.

In the greater scheme of things I would agree with you entirely. However, given that usually even fewer turn up for FA Cup and Trophy games than do for League games, and looking back over past attendances, this was really a good turn out for the match. Boosted, as you say, by a good number from the South Coast. Perhaps I should have said, "much better", rather than "excellent". |

Actually, I wouldn't want Oxford United because I presume they would not let Jack Stevens play. Quite fancy Leyton Orient though: good support, but a bit vulnerable. In cash terms, Pato's preference of Pompey away would be good.

I think I may have almost calmed down now...
That was a much tighter game than it probably should have been, but its incredibly refreshing to see us defend for our lives and not crumble at the last moment.
Playing two up front was a key change, but more because it gave Ezra a start than because it is an inherently better shape. His pressing in the final third made the goal and could have made at least two more had he and Sinclair finished better. It was a shame that his inclusion had to come at Zac's expense but keeping Sinclair and Fleet in was clearly the right choice given how they both performed.
Both sides were wasteful with their chances - their 7 blazed over after Stevens spilled, we missed the penalty and a few players could have done better with chances in the second half - but Paterson's finish was absolutely superb. You also have to give a lot of credit to their 'keeper for the double save from Paterson after Sinclair's shot was blocked on the line.
Talking of blocking things on the line, I've heard that some of the Bognor contingent thought Reece handled the ball when he cleared off the line in stoppage time. I recall him volleying it away so it seems unlikely to me but I'd like to see it again.
I'm trying to prepare myself for a big letdown tomorrow night but I can't help dreaming of Luton away. Obviously there are a few league clubs who would provide a good payday and I'd be glad to see us get any of them, but for me it couldn't get any better than watching City at Kenilworth Road - especially seeing as it will be gone in a few years time.

That would be a replay of City's 1st Round tie v Luton in 1967, which was snowed off at the White House and then transferred to Kenilworth Road: attendance there was about 14,000, I think. I don't really mind where or who we play, so long as we give of our best, as we did against Burton. Incidentally our 406 was unfortunately the lowest attendance for the 4Q games on Saturday, but we should get a bumper crowd for any home tie coming out of tonight's draw. Come on you Hoops!

Pompey away for me, maximize the payday.
Failing that we still owe Wycombe one from 1999..hide the flammable material

That puts my "excellent" into proper and disappointing perspective...and OU away as well!!! Just goes to show (along with most people's predictions on here before the match) what we've come to expect and accept. A great pity. Anyway, whatever the 'crowd', we're in the draw on TV tonight so let's hope for a good one. Shaw Lane (victors over Barrow on Sunday) would be quite handy for me  . |
