At home to the winner of Truro v Macclesfield on the 6th February.

At home in the next round. So, come on Truro ! Would certainly add to the interest if they could win the replay ... More likely to be Macclesfield though!

At the expense of an away trip to... Macclesfield!

Do we have a date? Can't find it anywhere...

Ironically if Macclesfield do get through, we where due to play them in the league away on the same date. This means a lovely Tuesday night away match against them now.

Called it. And at home. Really hope truro get to play us good for them and maybe a better home gate

Think I'd rather have Macclesfield for this one. If Truro make it through they will see it as an opportunity to make a scalp, and being as local a game as they are going to get they'll probably bring a few. Macclesfield - like most Conf Prem teams - will view the FAT as a bit of an unnecessary distraction and probably won't be as "up for it", giving us a chance to take the win and the cash.

As long as it doesn't have an impact on league performances, I'm happy for us to go as far as we can in this.

This is win win for me!

I wanted to go to Macclesfield away but couldn't because of other local commitments. I can, however, go to the game now we're home on the Saturday and Macclesfield away midweek means I can now attend that too

It would be nice to get some of these postponed fixtures re-arranged though so I can organise my diary.......

Macclesfield will also have a longer journey. If we're going to get anything out of the rest of the season, we really need to make the most of our geographic location and start picking up a lot of home wins against teams that often have to travel on the day.

Shame, but bring them on nonetheless.

Beat Macclesfield on 6 February, then there's Round 4 on 27 February. Then the semi-final is played over two legs on 12 and 19 March. The final is on Sunday 22 May. We can win this!

Which gives us 6 weeks, from the end of March to the end of April, to play 7 scheduled league games, plus any remaining postponed games, in which to make the Great Escape and so avoid the drop.

Given all the recent activity at Plainmoor, I see no reason why we cannot achieve both these little miracles. Think positive, and support the team!
