There is a lot of good Will between supporter and visible ownership there.

The community focus of Woking FC is quite impressive generally. My daughter plays for their Ladies side. Alan Dowson has been to a few Ladies matches, Ladies players have complimentary season tickets supplied and Dowson supported a joint fund raiser recently with players from Men’s and Ladies teams taking part. They aim to open a state of the art 4g in time for next season for all associated teams to play on and 1st team to train on from next season. May even be up and running now.

PS: She’ll be in the Away end on 6th, mind.

Woking fan here! yes the club has a close link between fans and Board, who are all fans. The Trust are the second biggest shareholder and have contributed £200 k in recent years. Our community reputation is second to none and we win national awards most years. Its a great, family club with a redevelopment on the horizon. Dowse is wonderful and the ladies are doing great - Academy, Ladies and Centre of Excellence all get passes to league games. The Community is soon to be relocated to a state of the art facility

You have a bigger fan base but we have played at Wembley 4 times and won each one. You are full time with a much bigger fan base - we are part time and doing our bit. You have a much bigger fan base - we have togetherness. Who will blink first? What will be will be... see you on the 6th.

Thank you.. Just goes to show the vast majority of fans who have a lot on common.. And we all have a few idiots

Woking fan here...

Firstly Lemon - Heigh Evans was the best player on the pitch by a mile

Secondly if what I heard about budgets is true you should be winning the league by miles

Thirdly the game and celebrations. You have won 5 and drawn 2 of the last 7 and an away cup tie against a rejuvenated Torquay was a big challenge- most of us would have been happy with a draw. Alongside that our lads are committed part timers, on far less than you and IMO demonstrated that passion and team spirit are the key to success. hence the celebrations.While Woking have a great cup record ( 2nd round 3 years in a row now and much more before that) our manager has never got to the 1st round before.

Our 3 midfielders were all teenagers (due to injuries) and did brilliantly first half - after that it was guts from all 11. The penalty was debatable but a good number of your fans have said it was justified. Seems to be where you were.

Gerring is a heart on your sleeve type guy - got loads of abuse from locals and into the crowd at the end - take your pick

On money alone you and Billericay should run away with it - we will see, bring it on. We will have you at Kingfield no question - prove us otherwise! COYC

PS Your facebook guys are an embarrassment - another reason why the celebrations!
