In the interests of trivia - I noticed that Mick from Prolapse did several
of these match reports, but I couldn't figure out the Kingstonian
connection, so being in a band with one of Prolapse, I asked him about it
and he said:

Cherry Red sponsored Kingstonian, so we would get in for free and sit in the
directors box, We followed their FA Cup run that season, Dover, Brighton and
then sadly knocked out by Aylesbury of all people!  After the Brighton game
(1st round proper), there was an old chap in the bar, who said he'd been
following them for 80 years and this was the happiest day of his life!  The
Aylesbury game actually made it onto A Question of Sport what happened next
as the Aylesbury team did a duck dance in celebration, which may well have
been one of the earliest mass novelty celebrations.
