Update - now Leatherhead's official Twitter account has come out & said all players were eligible.
Surrey FA rules state that a player must be registered with the club at the original date of the tie to be eligible to play, the original date was like month ago... they signed their keeper last...
Massive shame that, it's upsetting to see traditional non league clubs go like this & I can only assumed they don't have the backing for a phoenix club.
If I were one of the top men at East Thurrock United right now I'd be weighing up the potential for some kind of merger/absorbing type of thing.
News on the grapevine. Apparently our manager even mentioned it to Leatherhead’s manager pre game but he still went ahead with the goalkeeper anyway.
Since that I’ve seen on our forum that we may have also fielded an illegible player but the player hasn’t been named. Reminds me of our QF with...
Finally played our Surrey Cup 2nd Round game with Leatherhead. We lost 2-0 but we are still going through as Leatherhead's goalkeeper turned out to be ineligible for the game.
QF with Metropolitan Police coming up!
They've lost a few of their galacticos now so hopefully they are imploding. Still, nice of Leiston to join a very exclusive club of teams who have beaten Billericay in the league this year.

It's speculation time again. This is the usually fairly sort of accurate projections based on league tables at whatever time it was made.
I like the look of Kingstonian moving over to the Southern...
As much as "we hate Sutton etc etc" I do hope you win the FA Trophy if anything. You're one of the few examples of a traditional non league club run well & deserve the success that brings.
Don't tell any other K's fan I said that because I'll be extradited from the club :blush:
Football's coming (sort of) home, it's coming (sort of) home, its coming...
Great to see that our exile from the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames will only last one season. Interesting wording in the statement also... I get the impression we are buying in to King George's Field more so...
Alec Fiddes has left us to sign for the filth. As the story goes Dynan is switching to a 4-3-3 formation which can't accommodate Fiddes & he doesn't want to sit on the bench.
Yeah we've just won a game for the first time in 2 months so now let's change the formation & cause one of our only...
I've only seen him live once, in his first spell this season (he went away & is now back again)... scored a ridiculously good chip from a tight angle against Thurrock in the FA Trophy. Their keeper that day was making all kinds of mistakes but Mbo's goal would have gone in no matter who was in...
Yeah I thought you'd say that. We've lost every county cup final we've been involved in at Imber Court since then too - although they were both London Cup finals.
Oh right, Yeah, must be nice to be on top of your fixture schedule at a ground you own that isn't under 6 feet of water the second it starts raining :happy:
It's yours to lose now really, with Woking out. If we get through v Leathehead (already lost to them twice in the league this season so...
Lost the Fetcham Grove Superclasico for the second time this season. Oh well, we'll set the record straight in the much more important county cup fixture against them :err:
More bullshit from the top. Wembley FC have been Wembley FC since they were formed in 1949... why is the name an issue only now in 2017?
Reminds me of when Tottenham Hotspur took shots at Fleet Spurs for the similar cockerel on their crest a few years ago.
