I know it isn't very important and is not high on our priority list, but it's a chance to have a look at the youngters and reserves, with maybe a couple of first-teamers. My line-up would be a simple 4-4-2.
Lamprell
Salmon-Read-Springett-Easton
West-Wills-Henry-Welsh
Forshaw-Ginty
Subs: Crooks, Ashikodi, Stavrinou, Pooley, Holmes.
It will be intresting to see what formation Gary plays.
6-3-1 ?
Read seems unlikely to play as the FGR programme says he doesnt have a lot of movement in hisright ankle and walking is difficult, following an accident at home.
Oh yeah, forgot about that, actually.
Stick Pooley in there then.
I reckon Macca will partner Springett.
I reckon Cronin will play.
My team would be
Lamprell
Riley Macca Springett Collins
Wills West Heeroo Forshaw
Ginty Ashikodi
Subs Henry,Easton, Bailey,Welsh Cronin
I'd play:
Matt
Gavin Macca2 Geordie Jordan
Michael Chris Kane Ish
Scott Moses
Subs: Will Darius Jamie Clint Aiden/Tom
Actually yeah, Riley. I forgot about him.
I wouldn't go for a too stong'a line-up, incase key players get injured.
Daish stated in his interview after the game on Saturday he is going to see what some of the other first teamers can do and give the fringe players a run out so i would say the likes of Wills, forshaw, ginty, westy and Heeroo will get 90 mins under their belt and Jordan to come back from injury.

Expect a 0-0 draw.
Gaz has spoken.
Is anyone actually going?
I'm not sure it will be value for money.
Go for goodness sake, we need the dosh. It's football aint it.Gaz has spoken.

Well, I am on an early shift tomorrow. 
line up:
Lamprell
Salmon Darius/Crooks Springett Collins/Easton
West Henry Wills Foreshaw
Ginty Ashikodi
Subs: Gav, Welsh, Darius/Crooks, Collins/Easton
I am going, unless work intervenes.
It will be good to see how some of the other fringe players perform in a competitive match.
Looking back through the history of the club, I can see that we have a long and proud association with this trophy.
Yeah, when it was worth winning and the final was a good day out.
Now the KCFA have the audacity to punish people who do well in this competition.
I have very fond memories of the 1991 KSC final at Priestfield.
I was only young and it was an excellent day (apart from losing to Dover). It was the first time I had ever seen the Fleet in a cup final.
We had a great scam going with Mcdonalds trivial pursuit as well.

4-6-0 thats not a formation HG its a steam train.
I'd rather see the club withdraw from it like Gillingham.
It's not worth the hassle.

Why not, with no reserve team it provids a vital opertunity to test out players who are on the cusp the 1st team or have something to prove... plus imo its a good competetion only let down by the fact the Kent FA, unlike others, doesn't force their top teams to compete. I do believe Liverpool and Everton compete in the liverpool version and Manchester United and Manchester City in the Manchester Senior Cup. although not as big as these teams, competing against the likes against Gills, and I'm assuming Charlton would be quite enjoyable, if only a reaserve version of these teams. Also i'd imagin there would be a larger crowd for these games.
Maidstone have been reinstated in the FA Trophy after Histon fielded a unregistered player
Hopefully they will field a reserve side too.
We might be in with a shout.
For those of you coming to the game I have covered the cost of printing 300 programmes and they will be free on the evening of the match. I know it's not a major saving, but if it does make a difference to you getting to the game?
Not for me im afraid.
Be quite glad if we let this one slide. League survival is more important.
