All the kids want to get backstage, at the Walton Hop...

...get a whisky and coke, no need to prove their age, at the Walton Hop."

Or so said Walton on Thames' least famous "famous" resident, Luke Haines, on his 2006 LP Off My Rocker at the Art School Bop, in his song The Walton Hop, a tribute to the town's now defunct youth disco of the same name, an infamous place of wrongfulness and ruined lives, the hunting ground of Jonathan King and Co.

Paedophiles aside, Chatham Town face Walton's less famous but more well atoned residents, the Walton Casuals tomorrow night in the replay of their FA Cup First Qualifying Round tie. Illness, rather fortunately it transpired, ruled me out of Saturday's first attempt at TOSC, the game being described by all concerned as poor. The highlights are on the FA's official website. And to be frank, its a bit embarrassing. Both sides are capable of much better, and AOB rightly blames a hard pitch on a hot day. The good news is we kept a clean sheet for the first time this season, and we need to get the positivity going. take the clean sheet to Walton, come back with it, and lets go on another 12 game run. We can do it, and if we do a 12 game run now, we're in the First Round Proper of the FA Cup, and its Leeds United or Southampton at home. The dream is there.

Tomorrow will hopefully be very much different. The Waterside Stadium is a bleak ground, or at least it was last time I went there and Ross Finn (where is he?) scored a screamer, starting his run at the halfway line before burying it in the top corner. Its the sort of ground that wind howls across, where kids congregate outside (posh kids mind you), and the noise of the nearby leisure centre outdoes the crowd. Chatham will need their wits very much about them. If it does all go wrong though, there's a cracking pub a five minute walk up the Thames called The Weir Hotel. I don't wish to run the ground down - it is no Thamesmead Town; its got the best riverside location I've ever seen a match at - houses opposite sell for over £2million and they're small - but the location isn't reflected in the stadium itself - I came away feeling like I'd seen a game at Strood Sports Centre. By the by really.

Mike Green, the Chats' new programme editor is reporting on this one for Kentishfootball tomorrow, so we can get a decent idea of what went on etc on Thursday. For those of you, like me, unable to attend, live scores should be available on http://nln24.com/live/vidiprinter, a superb service now up and running, that works on iPhones apparently.

Back to the game, its vital we grind out a result tomorrow night. We've got a great chance of progressing and making a name for ourselves this year - the prize is yet again County League (one below us) opposition in the form of the winners of Selsey vs Deal Town, at home. The dream is there. Always go one extra round, as the big man Don Logan says.
