Yes, he should be able to play.
A quick Google shows that Sheppey’s ground is on the outskirts of Sheerness - famous former inhabitants including Dr Beeching and Rod Hull.

Hope so, he’s the type of player they won’t be able to handle.
Sheppey have just confirmed that if they do win their replay on Tuesday, our game will be played at their home stadium.

Not sure about that. Same situation as Liam Bennett last year - Cambridge wouldn’t let him play even though he was on a season long loan at the time. If Lincoln are considering recalling Draper in January they won’t want him cup-tied.

If you come to the replay this coming Tuesday night we will provide you upon request a voucher which guarantees you an option to purchase an FA cup ticket for a home game v Walsall 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 we be successful in qualifying for the next round - 𝗮𝗻𝗱 its agreed the fixture will be at Holm Park
(their emphasis)
So still not confirmed.
How about one of your five mates who have a season ticket consult your notepad maybe one doesn’t want to go you be sorted oh sorry the ticket will be more than a fiver 
If we get Sheppey it’s almost like playing in Europe having to cross the water!
Walsall on tour !

Just thought id give you all a little insight into rhe life of sheppey if we get them and they win there replay.
Lived on the isle of sheppey (sheerness) for two years not so long ago for work.
First things first , says a lot when the residents of the island who were born there are known as SWAMPYS they christened themselves this.
If your expecting a good day out you will be sorely dissapointed. There is not one decent boozer on the island so for all expectant saddlers fans drink before you cross that bridge onto the island. Most of the swampys are Spurs fans with a few chelsea thrown in. Anyone after a nice pick me up can just go to any streer corner in sheerness dealers there are ten to a penny. They also have an indentity issue when called cockneys , they go full kung fu panda on your ass. Expecting a nice day in southend think again its a 70 mile one way trip by road as there are no ferrys for the 3 mile journey across the open waves.
The boozers that are on the island you may want to take a spare pair of wellys for if you get caught short to spend a penny to wade through the urine.
Best part of the island is a town called leysdown with there arcades , beach abd a pub called talk of the town about 8 mile from sheppey but i imagine in novemeber this will mostly be shut down. So yeah were stuffed
If you want a kebab dont dare ask for it Naan bread they look at you like your a serial killer …pitta breads only
Want a good day stay at chatham about 12-15 mile from the island and catch the train from sittingbourne to sheerness on the day of the game

No such thing as a 4G pitch. The highest standard approved by FIFA is 3rd Generation (3G) despite what Sheppey united may say! They do play on a 3G pitch (like Rushall Olympic)

We used to catch the overnight Olau ferry from Sheerness to Holland, so I’ve never seen Sheppey in daylight. Huge thing it was, but always a great crossing and a wonderful breakfast as Vlissingen approached. I don’t think it runs any more
Yep stopped running a few years ago they were on about restarting it but with the wreck just off the mainland thay can blow up the whole island deemed it too risky lol.
Shame tbh could be a nice island but yet again no money has found its way there too improve it as its all stayed in london !!!

My ex wife’s from the Isle of Sheppey, so have spent quite a lot of time there over the years including getting married at Minster Abbey. The pub guide won’t take long if its them.
Sheerness, the nearest town to the ground is chav central.
