Right, I don't know the smallest attendance for an FA Cup 1st round game, but this one might smash the record books.

Chasetown had 1400 for the visit of Nuneaton in the last round and, of course, they featured on tele last season (or the one before). But their customary home crowd isn't very big. I expect that they will have more at Twerton than there are Team Bath WAGS.

I think you're very wrong their Dom! BC fans WON'T support TB. There was talk of Chasetown bringing six coaches down....

The Uni were offering free transport down from the top of the mountain plus reduced admission. Wouldn't it be lovely if we were tax funded too ;)

This whole Team Bath thing is a right stink if you ask me. Think it is completely out of order to essentially be funded by the Government (via the higher ed system) who get 'crowds' of c.56 to be playing in a League where most clubs have to struggle to survive. My irritation is all the more surprising as I didn't pay tax myself for some 6 years (that has changed somewhat nowadays btw:rolleyes:)

We as a club benefit from the players of Hartpury College. Are we treading a fine line by bad mouthing Team Bath?

I don't think so. To my knowledge Hartpury College don't compete in the Pyramid system do they? They only partake in University and College leagues. Whereas Team Bath don't.

The whole concept of Team Bath is fine, but to play in the Pyramid at the expense of other, more deserving teams is annoying.

Honestly I dont think they should be allowed in League Football, thats my opinion.
