DECEMBER DOUBLE: Stones Aiming For Sweet F.A. Glory!

WHAT better way to kick off a busy December fixtures schedule for Wealdstone than with two shots at knockout success - in both The FA Cup and The FA Trophy?

It's the magic of The FA Cup first up on Saturday December 6, and Sam Cox's team are set to be backed by an army of Stones' fans making their way to north-east Lincolnshire and a return visit to Grimsby Town of League Two.

The good news and there's still time for you to join them, thanks to a third supporters' coach being made available for on-the-day return travel.

Can the Stones repeat their FA Cup heroics of last season at Blundell Park scene of Alex Reid's late winner as the Enterprise National League visitors shocked their League Two hosts in front of just over 3,000 fans?

That November 2024 triumph was in the First Round Proper of the competition. December 6th's 3.00pm kick-off is in Round Two action, just one step away from the potential of a kindly draw pitting the game's winners against a Premier League giant.

Can the class of 2025/26 emulate the Wealdstone heroes of 1977/78 who got to Round Three - the furthest the club has reached in its long history? Fourth-tier Reading were the Second Round fall guys that year, before Stones were soundly defeated by top-flight Queens Park Rangers.

If the Mariners' scalp is taken once again, it will evoke memories only the most seasoned of Wealdstone supporters would have experienced in-person, some 48 years ago!

It's the Third Round of The FA Trophy - non-league's FA Cup, if you will - and a trip to Wembley Stadium is just five knockout victories away.

Two divisions below the Stones, the Ambers will be trying to put their indifferent league form to one side as they travel to Ruislip for an FA Trophy tie which must be settled on the day.

There'll be our usual 'happy hour' offer for early arrivers at The Vale from 12-2pm as we look to spread Christmas cheer with a home knockout win.

Sweet F.A. in December? Let's hope so!
