I see Fakenham have had a bit of an inconsistent start to their season - P 5 W1 D2 L2.

Could be there for the taking on Saturday?

As they play at the same level as us there is no reason why we should fear them. Show them respect yes, but fear, no.
However, I didn't realise their league form was so patchy. Perhaps their best result was beating CRC in the previous round as their opponents are at a higher level.
I'm sure the Ghosts will be up for our encounter, probably relishing the chance to play before an expected large crowd.

Ha Ha, I wondered who would be appointed the 'No Alcohol Enforcement Steward'. :D
Will you have a stick to knock any glasses out of their hands? ;)

Is there a Third Qualifying Round, or will we enter the First Round Proper?

First Round Proper. If we beat Fakenham we would be away to Bugbrooke or Yaxley.

Good article on Fakenham's side that was posted on twitter in build up, makes me excited for tomorrow's game, should be a tough one that's for sure. But is 'more than 1000' really expected? I'd guess we'll get 600-700, anything more than that would be fantastic.
