Wow, some draws! Can they be moved for TV?

BBC show one game at Saturday 12.30 via iPlayer. 

 

Forest are away on the 15th, so should be no reason to change the County v Coalville game 
 

The crowd at Nomads will be so small cos their capacity is tiny that I can’t see the need for them to move it. Potential that’s the 12.30 game - EDIT: Or Bracknell v Banbury

I wanted a low ranked team at home but if you can't have that it's the next best scenario

Blyth Spartans v Wrexham bound to be on TV.

Famous tie between them in 1978 played at St James Park with over 40k - took two replays for Wrexham to make the Quarter-Finals

South Shields v Scunthorpe, that genuinely won't be a shock result if South Shields win to be honest!

No decision to be made surely

I've only seen one game at Meadow Lane, and it was the day Derek Pavis lost his shit with the piss taking Leicester fans.

 

Can't wait to see Coalville play there.

 

Unfortunately, there's no recording of Pavis' tirade.

 

Derek Pavis Captain Magpie tells us about Notts County well-tanned chairman and the stand he modestly named after himself. ... Quote unquote “You lot are a bloody disgrace” – to several thousand disrespectful Leicester fans who refused to remain silent during his half-time speech at the official opening of the new stands, August 1994.

For anyone with a spare 30 minutes.

Hinckley’s start to the season has been extremely mediocre, given the rebuild job done in the summer, it was probably expected, but the manner of performance is pretty disheartening. 
 

The new manager is the former assistant manager from last season, and having been transferred to a much tougher league the weaknesses we’ve had since last season have been massively exposed. Far too used to playing on a 3G pitch which you can play great football on, any away game on a below average pitch, which makes up the majority at this level, completely stifles us. 
 

Realistically we need to get us bigger, nastier bastards in with a bit of presence, it’s currently a very young and lightweight team that wants to play football but can’t adapt to scrappiness, and concerningly we have a lot of players who simply don’t seem cut out for this level playing regularly. Secondly we need evidence we can actually formulate a plan B: we lost 3-1 to Ashby over the weekend, the one goal we scored showed with a packed midfield and winning those second balls to get into the final third where we could then play it around to our strengths. However we kept a pretty thin two man midfield and once Ashby scored, we never adjusted or looked like scoring again.

 

Until we sort this we’re going to be a painfully midtable team. I’m hoping the manager can show us he can look to adapt our gameplan and recruit a bit of muscle into our team, otherwise it looks more and more like we might need a fresh start.

Are the town divided on the two Hinckley's - AFC and Leicester Road?

 

I know a bit about the history but unsure which is the most popular in the town.

Leicester Road has next to no fanbase.

As below, Leics Road lucky if they get 75. They were chuffed with their Trophy draw v Nuneaton

So I'm guessing Leicester Road are the old 'Town',  ie zero supporters  - and AFC the old 'Athletic', who used to have a steady 300 or so at Middlefield Lane
