Not great really, but the Final is at Hartlepool's ground this season rather than Eppleton

Worth getting to the final then for the oh so warm welcome we'd be given.

Stockton Town are a great young side that I've seen play a few times this season following promotion from the Wearside to the Northern League. This will be played midweek as they now play on a 3G pitch at the college and have floodlights.

Not sure what sort of side we'll put out but as we have no midweeks now it may be useful as game time for some first team players

As much as the DCC is a pointless tournament, this does look a half decent fixture.

Stockton seem to be doing a great deal to expand and develop as a club and have got off to a good start.

Should be a good test for some of our younger players, and as Sam says, potentially a couple of first teamers.

We'll field a side mainly of youngsters and first team fringe players.

probably a good game for someone like Purewal if he continues not to start. Players like Nowa and perhaps even Watson if he hasn't played much. Depends on the situation closer to the time

Many having a look across for this?

Possibly have the likes of Watson, Scott, Hunter involved, maybe Portas if back from injury?

I think I read a tweet from Portas that suggests he will be out for a few more weeks

Got beat 3-0 which suits us really. Wonder if the reserve team can enter this in their own right next season or just play under the first teams name.

Watched the game last, Stockton looked a good side easy to see why they are doing well in their league, they were to strong for our youth team, a good run out for Bell, Scott, Watson and Davie.
First time I have been to their ground, Stockton have an excellent set up.
