I reckon there will be more journalists than Yeovil fans at our game tonight.

Any more than a handful of fans going up would surprise me given the media's portrayal of the original tie. I'd welcome fewer away fans if it negates any possibility of repeat allegations, but it will undoubtedly give an advantage to the Haringey players who will be more than keen to knock us out.

Just want the tie over with to be honest, so we can stop being public enemy number one and rebuild the club's reputation.

I completely agree. This witchhunt based mainly on rumour and unsubstantiated assumptions is quite frankly pathetic and it needs to be dealt with so we can move on.

Not to mention 7 minutes of video showing your fans lobbing bottles at the players

Will there be a replay at Huish Park if the match is drawn tonight or have ET and pens been agreed?

No-one's doubting that 2 or 3 bottles were thrown, they should be punished for that and all our fans are in agreement about that. To describe it as 7 minutes of them lobbing bottles when it patently isn't is a great example of the hyperbole that has surrounded a lot of this horrible circus. Yes there were a handful being extremely aggressive which wasn't pleasant watching, again this has been condemned by our fans.

What has angered the vast majority of our fanbase is how the media have hung us out to dry by passing judgement before any investigation has been concluded. Sadly a lot of the public believe whatever is put in front of them and do the same.

Sadly, this narrative is only likely to continue the further Haringey get in the cup. Win the game, starve them of any further publicity and let the FA and Met complete their investigations.

Despite the draw ages ago Maidstone have decided it's all ticket for away fans. 550 spaces for us Torquay fans. Well over 300 have gone so could het close to the figure.

So nice of Maidstone to make it all-ticket for away fans only days before the game... and charging a bloody 'processing fee' for the privilege of printing your own tickets.

Can't get a ticket for the away end? No problem, it's pay on the gate for everyone else... potential for a spot of trouble if not stewarded in the right manner.

Remember, Maidstone, you only have yourselves to blame if this all goes tits up.

Our stewards are complete idiots so if anything kicks off they will either majorly over react or just stand there doing nothing till its to late. We've all been moaning to the club for years now about how useless the stewards are, but the owners do nothing to sort the problem.

I thought they might of finally learnt after how badly they handled the Ebbsfleet game last season, but all signs point to them continuing to bury their head in the sand on the matter.

We need to employ actual proper stewards instead of glorified nightclub bouncers.

Ebbsfleet away for us (Notts) tomorrow. I know they've picked up recently but I'd be disappointed if we don't progress, maybe after a replay, and pick up a handy £36k in the process.

It would be nice to go through and get a bit of prize money but I’m honestly not that arsed if we go out tomorrow, would like to see Luke Williams and Niko Muir get some game time though.

The way Dulwich defended for Carlisle's 1st goal this could be a rout

Hardly surprising since they have two of the worst players I've ever seen in Christian Smith and Richard Orlu.

Smith at CB as well, massive liability. Dulwich look OK in possession but don't have the raw quality to justify playing a naive attacking game and look badly exposed on the counter.

I don’t think they look too bad going forward. Carlisle don’t look too good at all - bit blessed to have scored 3.

I'm a big fan of Smithy but I remember the one game he played at centre half for us last season at Torquay and he had rings run around him. Much more suited for a central defensive midfield role.

Dulwich played well, Jeff Monakana direct as ever and Danny Mills proved a right handful but their defence was found wanting on more than one occasion.

Guy Mowbray successfully triggered me tonight saying that Smithy had signed from Wealdstun, it's fucking well pronounced Weald-stone, similar to Maid-stone funnily enough.

I thought the locals called it ‘matestun’ in their Kent accents?

We tried playing Orlu as a ball playing centre back in 17/18... no wonder we got relegated.

Orlu was only ever effective in his free role that he played for Dover.

Free to roam around the pitch kicking people.

Those I know from my university days whom lived in Kent pronounced it as Maidstone so I'm sticking with that. Point is that it's undeniably pronounced as Wealdstone and if you pronounce it as Wealdstun (such as Guy Mowbray and Dan Walker initially) then look in a mirror and correct yourself until you can pronounce the name correctly.
