I'm guessing that's 50% of their specific capacity, as their division was only allowed 300 last autumn, which was 30% of 1,000 minimum capacity for their level.

Have you got a link to the article on that? Would be interested to read. Can’t find it anywhere!
It's not from an article.
Mishi used to be a member and support the Fisher twelfth man fund. He often watched them midweek and spoke very highly of the people behind the club.
When Mishi died I signed up to ensure Fisher didn't lose out financially. Mishi told me their weekly wage bill the season before he died, suffice to say the loss of his small twelfth man funding would wipe out a surprisingly large percentage. As such, I receive the regular e-mails sent to club members. The information is taken from that.
I really must get round to watching Fisher play. Last time I saw them it was Fisher Athletic playing the Hamlet

Thank you very much for that.
I’ve only been once a couple of years ago when both Hamlet and Peckham were away and I’d promised my son we’d watch a game. Really enjoyed it and would like to go again. And it’s not like there are many other options right now!

The Tooting v Erith Town LSC quarter final is also on Saturday 22 May. I haven't seen any further details yet. I'll probably go to Fisher as it's barely more than a mile from home.
I suspect other ganes may also be on Saturday as the schedule is tight.
Provisional dates if Fisher progress - so probably for multiple games
Quarter Final - May 25 (Winner on Saturday away to Haringey)
Semi Final - May 29th (Fisher or Haringey home)
FInal - 31st May neutral venue TBC

The other half of the draw has already been completed up to the semi-final, in which Wimbledon play Cray Valley this Saturday, so it's Fisher/Hanwell/Haringey v Tooting/Erith on the 29th.
There must be a chance the final could be at Champion Hill if they want to guarantee neither finalist hosts it.
If Dons make it, I suspect it will become a test game for that stadium. It could be a nice little earner for London FA and the other competing team.
Dons are insisting on playing in the first game there. If they can play the final there they can then hire it out to London Broncos sooner than may otherwise be possible.

The London Senior Trophy will be at a similar pace...
Tonight
2R - Barking U23s vs Balham B (BCD)
Saturday 15 May
3 x Quarter-finals (BCD)
Bridon Ropes v Peckham Town
Hackney Wick v Forest Hill Park
AFC Cubo v Hilltop FC
Tuesday 18 May (TBC)
1 x QF
Elmstead vs Barking U23s or Balham B (presumably not BCD, but need to check with club)
Saturday 22 May
Semi-finals
Hackney Wick or Forest Hill Park vs Peckham Town or Bridon Ropes (Peckham or Bridon Ropes to be at home if vs Forest Hill Park as their home ground is not available)
Elmstead or Barking U23s or Balham B vs AFC Cubo or Hilltop
Saturday 29 May - final (or Monday 31 May as reserve date, if bad weather)
Senior Trophy and Cup must finish by end of May, as all competitions involving clubs that are Step 6 and above must have finished by then according to the FA. Grassroots can continue till end of June.
They seem to view that as too small a crowd to allow them to view it as a satisfactory official opener for their fans sake. Broncos game after that is at Ealing, tickets are already on sale, not Wimbledon. Another game, with a bigger crowd, may meet that criteria.

That big typo on their page bothers me more than it should:Details of LFA Senior Cup and Trophy finals announced:

Haringey v Hanwell this evening in the Senior Cup quarter final, winners host Tooting in the semi-final on Saturday for the right to meet Wimbledon in the final at Hendon on Monday bank holiday. Not sure how much interest there will be from Wimbledon fans, I'd have thought a Tooting v Wimbledon derby could be a crowd puller if played more locally.

Hanwell v Tooting on Saturday is being played at Haringey Borough as Hanwell is unavailable.

Just seen that Abingdon FC have resigned from their league too.
Same landlord apparently.

Thanks - I was on my phone and couldn't post the story.
It does make you worry how many other clubs these bastards have got their teeth into.
Here at Winchester City, the ground is council owned and on an old tip - no one really knows what's underneath, which isn't good, but does mean the land can't be sold for housing (or it would be).

It sounds like they may have Brighouse Town too. As far as I can tell they want the existing sports facilities, not the land for housing or retail development. (I guess it's a short cut rather than identifying sites, buying the land, obtaining planning permission, then building their own sportcentres?) Sounds a bit like Chelsea buying Kingsmeadow, then kicking out Kingstonian.

Re Irama, there's loads of ex Liverpool players currently on Twitter trying to explain why they made videos extolling the work of the asset strippers. Mostly the Matt Hancock "a favour for a mate" line. Well done @AgainstLeague3 for doing more diligence than they did.

there's a recent thread on a charlton forum about this - suggestion the bastards have 8 other clubs / grounds on their agenda at the moment...
