I know league survival is paramount but for the love of god a Wembley appearance would be amazing - up to 10 conference teams have exit at round 1 - it is possible and I want to experience Wembley before I croak - great win today we well done and thank you Marcus for giving us life at this great Club

I agree. Would be a wonderful day out. Would like a Midlands club away in the next round so that I can go. When's the draw, couldn't find it on the Net.

We're the sort of team that would get a "good draw" and flop in the day. I'm not sure if I'd rather draw someone from our league or league below that is likely to not play a full strength side as they're focusing on playoffs or something.

I am really not that bothered about wemberleeee, it'll be overpriced, 3/4 empty and overrated. Maybe I'm am just weird but it just doesn't do it for me. I would much rather they played internationals around the country and keep semi finals away from the place, it's just a money making machine.

Don't think the draw massively matters to be honest, everybody has to be beaten, if we're up to the task, bring it on.

I know we must focus on our conference status. That said the trophy has already lost nearly half the conference. I don’t understand this wouldn’t want to go to Wembley thing. I think anyone above a certain age will remember the days before money took over. That of course being the good old days of trying to win your league or a dream day out at Wembley for a cup final. I can’t begin to describe the thoughts and emotions associated with knowing we were Wembley bound ooohhhh the shivers!!!!

One of the big regrets of my life is never having seen Chester at Wembley. I doubt it will happen but if we ever get there I will be unashamedly blubbing like a baby. God knows I feel I've earned it.

The article below is from 2015 and states that of the 92 league clubs at that time, only Accrington Stanley, Crawley Town, Hartlepool United and Walsall had not played at Wembley at some point in their history. It just shows that we really are in the minority when it comes to teams never having played there! www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/14/the-knowledge-92-clubs-wembley

As much as I'd love to see us at Wembley, I'd get really annoyed at seeing all the day tripping glory hunters attending, while we've been struggling over the years with dwindling crowds. Can remember the Bristol Rovers chairman having a rant about the club selling 35,000 tickets for an appearance at Wembley when they were struggling to get fans at home games, and I can totally see his point. I'd feel exactly the same if Chester ever got there with regards our turnout.

I'd feel exactly the same if Chester ever got there with regards our turnout. I've said this before. Can't remember who it was but two commentators at Wembley, one laughing at Wigan only having 15,000 and the other putting him in his place, "Isn't that there home attendance?". Have a feeling it was that goat Savage who did the telling off.

Rather have the 2,000 hardcore than 10,000 I agree completely about the band Waggoner and have mixed feelings about the prospect. I went to an England international recently. It’s just one big rip off. £27 to park your car, £5-50 a pint of Carlsberg.......we are part of the “fans game” this is not a fans venue, purely corporate. I’d prefer to stay up this season, play offs next and win that! Wherever the venue is.

It's not some exclusive gentleman's club. It would look a bit sad with 2,000 stuck in the corner. Or how about restricting it to the regular 100 or so who go to away games in the south? How dare the glory hunters who only go to home games jump on the bandwagon?

We definitely 'could' get there - and it's quite an interesting debate this.
I wouldn't mind 10 or 15 thousand there so long as it inspired some of them to come along more often.
