[Middleton Nick]

Well it's off to Taunton we go after they produce a mini shock.Let's turn out a full strength side treat them with the upmost respect and get the job done.

[Moribund]

Biggest game in Tauntons history

No it's not.

Biggest game in Tauntons history

As a follower of Taunton for over 50 years I can assure you it is not.

FA vase winners 2001 and Swindon Town away in the FA cup in 81/82 season.
Both these games bigger than this game against Barrow FC

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE US.

In Paul Cox, Barrow have the best manager outside of the football league.
He certainly won't underestimate your team Tommy.
Let's hope it is a good match and whoever plays the best on the day wins.

Thanks.
Need any tips on the local area just ask.
Looking forward to it.

Judging by the attention their win seems to be bringing it wouldn't be a surprise if this was all-ticket and if so I wonder what allocation we'd get - their ground holds 2500 and they got 1282 in the last round plus I reckon we'd take around 200?
Wouldn't have thought TV would be interested in this though.

[Chris Benoit]

This could be one of the Sunday games given the lowly league Taunton are in and the potential for a shock. No chance of TV but it could be moved to the Sunday.

[Lancaster Branch]

Capacity is 2500 so we'd get at least 250 tickets. Only one set of turnstyles apparently which may cause issues re: segregation.

Looking at the interest id say 200 to 250 possible. Please not a Sunday. Busy month comung up.

Taunton play in the same league as North Leigh who were thumped at Eastleigh in the FA Cup on Saturday. Taunton played North Leigh at home last month and drew 2-2. We play Eastleigh at home the week before we play Taunton - a positive result against Eastleigh should give us plenty of confidence for the cup game - and I think Cox seams quite good at preparing the team for what they'll face - Taunton are low down in the league - but have games in hand and have knocked out 2 Conference South sides already - so won't be underestimated.... we should win by 3 or 4 - but i'd settle for a scrappy game and a 1-0 or 2-1 win if it means we get to round 2

If this game was moved to Sunday at least the traffic should be a lot better. Looking forward to this.

There's no escaping the fact that there are only three teams left in the competition at step 8 or lower - Stamford, Taunton and Westfields. So from that view alone, we have about as easy a tie as possible. Equally, Stamford did just put out Wrexham, so it can be done! I'd have been much more worried under Edmondson about this though than with our current manager and squad - we're very professional, and playing well. Feel a bit sorry for Taunton too - I'm sure there are many opponents that they'd have rather had before Barrow!

Sunday would be better for those who promised their good lady wives that we'd be able to take the children to a Fireworks Display but now are incredibly tempted to go to a new ground. Speaking on behalf of a friend there, obviously.

I would be happy with a Sunday game.
Dave, tell your friend to tell the kids bonfire night is cancelled this year due to Brexit.
