Cheers Clive.
I still shudder remembering the 3-1 home defeat to Plymouth in the 73/74 League Cup, with Paul Mariner outperforming Stan etc.
We even hired a generator to produce electricity so that we could play at night instead of the afternoon!
Best wishes to all of you that are at Home Park tonight. Cambridge last season, was a lot easier to get to! |  | | |

Some Useless ITK info. Me and my son are staying at the same hotel as the QPR players. I was playing the 18th at the golf course on site and could see in the distance 4 or five blokes in tracksuits on the balconies of the hotel overlooking the the green. The approach shot is over water so an already tricky shot is made worse by me knowing that I now had an audience. I hit it clean it arcs beautifully into the air and headed towards the green before inevitably dive bombing straight into the water. It was only when I got close that I saw they were all wearing QPR tracksuits. Bennie and others were there. I shouted up and asked what the team was for tomorrow. They said they didn't yet know. Rarely has this site been blessed with such on the ground inside info. Will keep you informed if I hear anything more. | | | |

Clive, you say in the preview that Kieran Petrie was given a squad number. He wasn't. |  | | |

Wasn't that 1-3 loss the come-down after the 8-2 record win against Wednesday in the previous round?! [Post edited 12 Aug 13:29]

Hope Harvey Vale gets a start, I feel he has been under utilized in pre-season. Keen to see more of him. |  | | |

A VERY slopey 18th green, too, IIRC.
I played it about 20 years ago and got it pretty close to the flag on the 18th, then without me seeing, my mate marked my ball and nudged it down the slope and into the bunker.
We were thinking about another Cornwall tour next year but St Mellon will be too pricey - I recall now that we played it for nothing because we had Corporate Membership with the group of clubs it was a part of.
Anyway, wishing all going tonight a great trip, bless yer. [Post edited 12 Aug 15:00]

I did the 18th at Bude golf course naked on a stag when I was about 18/19. Unfortunately I don't recall the slope of the green.
The day earlier they told me off for playing the round with my shirt untucked. [Post edited 12 Aug 15:26]

I'm assuming no replay - so if a draw at 90 minutes then straight to ET and pens? Or maybe not even any ET? |  |

Yes, it was in the 4th round after beating Tottenham & Wednesday. We survived the 1st round as we had a bye. | | | |

We're so poor in the cups, even our goal has been taken off us since the start of this thread, 0 3 but still out | | | |

Yes pricey but we played twilight which was much more reasonable. Have done Trevose in the winter, which I prefer and is reasonable off season. Yet to do the lunar landscape of Perranporth
Anyway back on topic with some more ITK ground level reporting. The team bus left the grounds at 5.42. I can report that the windows were blacked out so don't know who had their full kit on. Heading there shortly. | | | |
