Would be Great for the Club to have a Good Cup Run Next Season, as well as Providing the Club with some Additional Income.

Re: FA Trophy dates 25-26 season
Truth is we've underachieved in this competition. Definitely so in the last two seasons with home defeats at the first hurdle against lower league clubs. Last season we were 2-0 up at half time against Coleshill before losing in the last minute.
