22-11-22. Oh no, not AFC Fylde yet again

This has got to be a fix? Is it February 2nd?

In what seems to be a re-run of that classic film Groundhog Day we’ve only gone and been drawn against AFC Fylde in the 3rd round of this seasons FA Trophy after having played them, twice, in the FA Cup just a few weeks ago. Also it’s another away game in desolate Fyldeshire that we know, barring a miracle, we are destined not to win.

Having already played them at home in the league, a 0-0 draw, then home again in the FA Cup, another draw but this time 2-2, we then went up there and turned in one of our worst performances of the season to crash out of the cup 2-0. Going up there on December 17th will make it four times that we’ve played them so far and we still have a league game to come up there in April.

It seems to be a poor reward for all our hard work at St Albans City in the previous round but what can we do apart from giving it our best shot.
