The Street do have some squad connections with us, as former Stoke winger Claudio Herbert currently plays for them
Also Stoke academy & first-team squad players Aleks Kokoszka & Harry Bowden are on dual-registration with the Street. However both of these are cup-tied and are very likely part of Basingstoke’s matchday squad this evening.
