Re: FA Trophy 3rd qualifying round draw
Evesham... used to just off route driving from Ilkeston to Cheltenham so many times a year back in the 1990s when I lived in Cotmanhay. On a good day not even two hours. Some great pubs around. An abbey church that's well worth a visit. Riverside walk. If it's the same ground from back then, that was OK too. (Maybe a walk from the centre of town?).
I'd have to say, do please give Evesham a go - BUT, more importantly Il'son, let's turn up for this game!

Evesham won 3-2 at Bracknell on Monday night and the win lifts them to 6th.
They are now unbeaten in their last 5 matches (3 wins and 2 draws)

Re: FA Trophy 3rd qualifying round draw
Oh not Evesham! I drive there once on my own. I got to Evesham and I could see the ground and the players warming up but could not find how to get the car to the ground. Thirty minutes into the game I finally entered the ground. To say it was embarrassing is an understatement. It was however before sat navs though in my defence!
