Another of these ex Football clubs in the National league. They average over 6000 for home league games. Their league position is false as they have had a ten point deduction.
Currently around third in the form charts. No doubt they will fancy their chances against us.

Or they may be more interested in a Play Off push.

I think playing Southend is good for us as if we go up at the end of the season at least we know roughly where we will be?

Personally I think if the tactics are right Hampton can probably get a draw or a late winner at Roots Hall, (sorry I don't know if it will go to replays) but if so play Southend on a cold Tuesday night at the Beveree in a replay where the ground would be rocking and am sure Hampton can pull off the shock off the competition, what do others think?

I'm really interested to see how Southend approach it.

On the one hand, despite their excellent league form their ten point deduction means that whilst they should be 6th, they're only four points from the drop zone. They don't have a massive squad, and logic would suggest they'll need to prioritise the league. But, a good cup run would bring much needed financial reward for their club.

No replays, no extra time, all decided on the day by penalties

Hampton fans will probably be in the North Bank.

Glad that they have chosen to not use the West Stands full name.
