How many are you likely to bring? some people I was talking to today reckon it could be as many as 80. Phenomenal effort if you do.

Genuinely I'd be really surprised if it wasn't at least 150 and quite possibly 200 plus, knowing level of interest expressed in travel even thus far,

Day played will be a factor and if on telly

As I said. That's amazing. The more the merrier. The whole town is talking about it.
How many miles is it from Barrow upon Humber?

Taunton Town surely.........that's nearly as bad as Barrow upon Humber!
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

For the sake of clarity neither are we from Barrow Upon Soar (Leicestershire) home of the less famous Barrow Town that one or two often confuse us with and play in the East Midlands Counties League. Nice clubhouse, handsome little town, and even a small boatyard but no shipyard.

One day perhaps we should arrange a tournament between all the Barrows in the world. A Barrovian jamboree!

Is there an official response from either club when the date and time for the match will be fixed?

Do they have a team in Barrow, Alaska? Presumably they need 3g up there!

#notyet

I am guessing they are waiting for the TV companies to decide which games they want.

There really should be a requirement for this to happen within 2 hours of the draw being made. That would exclude games going to replay from being on in the next round but tough.

The current situation is skewed too far in the direction of the TV companies.
