Interesting view Tony... league would get my vote over Trophy run every time.

Could be a good blessing because I doubt they'd enjoy that long trip midweek.SFs would see Kettering (A) and Brackley (H) moved to mid weeks. Again, could argue of all the games to be played midweek, they'd again be best ones. One a short journey giving context of other teams, other a promotion contender who again would possibly rather play at weekend. Giving the form King's Lynn are in and the football they're playing, this could be the best chance of going to Wembley in a very long time.
Possibly one or two Grissles, but let's not forget that the break even attendance was discussed here before and at a rough estimate it was reckoned to be 1500-1800 . Further drainage works of £50-60k have also been mooted and The Chairman doesn't have endless pockets. Many of the available players are carrying knocks and could do with some rest...Gash, Hendo, Fox, McCauley,Richards in particular.I can't think The Trophy is Ebbsfleet's main concern at the minute.....I suspect, like Dover they will field something of a second string and after 7-0 v Barrow, challenges could be flying in, as happened with Dover. Be interesting to see IC's take on it and who he goes with.
pretty sure the break even attendance is much lower than 1500.Thought it was nearer 800.
Let’s not forget Tony the bigger the gate the bigger the up sell is. Programmes, 50/50, corporate, food, drink etc. I would also hope the greater opportunity for Mark Hearle to get a premium prize for match day/ball sponsorships. Must be worth more to the club with 1500 there than say the suggested 750. Must be a mega payday coming on fronts from the upcoming York game.
