I'm amazed that Wealdstone's game isn't being televised, you'd think they would milk having the Wealdstone Raider on air

I'm amazed Coventry and Northampton's meeting isn't, given the former's history at Sixfields a couple of years ago and the latter's current off-the-field turmoil.

You want some :p:

Coventry exit at the first stage to lower league opposition once again, but it was a fantastic day for the Cobblers fans. They took 2,500 and it's great to see them flourishing on the pitch amid the off the field turmoil.

Coventry obviously missed Adam Armstrong and Kent.

Shame for Wealdstone in the end losing 6-2, well pleased for Stourbridge though winning.

Just saw the highlights of the Colchester win. Wealdstone fans got their money's worth in fairness.

Shout out to Bury for battering Wigan 4-0.

Get in Alty!

Poor Barwell. Always a shame when a fairytale doesn't materialise.

Whitehawk with their premier league shirt numbers; they'll be a match for anybody.

Oh, and Barry Hayles wins the Barry Hayles derby for Chesham :wink:

Some great goals this weekend - McQuoid for Luton, Williams for Northwich, Murphy for Coventry etc.

Big shock with Chesham knocking out Bristol Rovers, unfortunately for FC United they are already 2 down against Chesterfield after just 12 minutes.

He's about 43 now but just loves the game and doesn't plan to stop anytime soon.

I have no idea either. He's 42 and had played in the premier league with mighty Fulham. Initially I thought he was manager of chesham, turns out he's player-coach
