Brackley don’t get big crowds and it’s a fair treck. Most that have the inclination are likely to wait and travel for the much more important league game 2 weeks later.
Also season ticket holders have to fork out £14-20 for an FA Cup qualifying game. Many won’t bother.
The negativity surrounding this weeks revelations certainly won’t help.
I think Cliff is probably a bit optimistic. I think we will be shy of 2000.
Going for a late Swann era attendance of 1900.
Looking at Brackley’s fairly small squad they don’t have much option to rest first teamers whilst Jimmy will be able to rest 8 or 9. He probably should as well given the limited opportunities to give them game time.
2-1 Brackley. We will reverse that scoreline with Scales joining the rest of the first team 2 weeks later – if we are still in business by then.
Good point re the attendance ..my prediction may have been a tad optimistic.
Im also predicting DH will chuck in the towel and resign Sunday after the FA game is over .. just a feeling ive got in my watter.
