The BBC only give you the full 90 minutes if you've got a track record of excellent football

Wouldn't take second this year then champ?

We are the moral victors, the crowd pleasers and the nations favourites.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

Confirmed as Sunday at 2pm day completely ruined can't be arsed with it now.

Shame that, I was looking forward to it but it's took the shine off it now.

3pm on a Saturday, £10 a ticket, could have seen a decent crowd. I'll decide nearer the time whether to bother or not.

I only want us to win league titles, anything else is insignificant. Wouldn't even get out of bed for a second place finish.

Yeh, just seen. Or £13 for season ticket holders of either club, £5 for concessions. Decent really.
I think I'll probably end up going, make up the numbers!
I don't really see the point of it being a Sunday game if we're not on television, daft.

When you get properly big time you will realise it's all about away attendances anyway

Yes it's a joke it just ruins the day out tbh.

637 at Gillingham today in the rain #massive

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

I heard we sold 700 before pay-on-the-day. That's why we are on TV.

First round replays this week involving League One sides:

Tuesday:
AFC Wimbledon v Bury
Bristol Rovers v Crawley
Coventry v Morecambe
Fleetwood v Southport
Rochdale v Maidstone
Swindon v Eastleigh

Wednesday:
Brackley v Gillingham

How do we think our teams will do this week then? I'm relatively confident we'll get through, we've been better in the last week or so and have a strong squad to choose from again. However, it is on tv, and I believe we've only won 1 of the last 11 games we've had shown live which is a little bit disastrous....

Other than that, I can see a clean sweep of home wins for the games being played on tuesday night.

 

[Aber gas]

I think we'll have too much for Creepy at home. Bloody hope so because we've got a better than fair chance of reaching the third round.

 

[Indian Dan]

There's always one fuck up . . . Guess who?

Yeah, there's a good chance Eastleigh will f*ck up and Swindon will cause an upset.

 

[Gashead]

Went to the original tie, don't think Crawley had that much about them and we were silly to fall asleep for their goal. Came away thinking we should be able to beat them at home.

So lump your money on Crawley tomorrow night!

 

[Fedora Dale]

Maidstone are no mugs, seem to have better form away from home.

We are somewhat depleted, and have probably lost to more non-league teams in the FA Cup than any other league team.

Could go either way, tbh...

 

[T.A]

Wimbledon will have to be really bad for us to provide an upset.

 

[Meadow]

We've got a better away record than at home, and Tom Elliott is ill. We could just sneak it though.

 

[joethegill]

So....we're all confident then.

 

[ComeOnIrene]

See no reason at all why we won't win and make it through to round two.

Not liking the fact our second round tie would be on the Sunday afternoon though. That's just crap. Damn you BBC.

 

[valefan16]

Yes it's a joke it just ruins the day out tbh.

I believe the BBC show live coverage of 8 games on a Sunday as we were on last season, i.e. all KO at 2PM and show clips as the game happens so goals etc. (Feeling clubs get a few bob for it too)

 

[Agombar stool]

Out in the cup to lower league opponents again. Standard!

 

[Super_horns]

So yeah..

 

[womble76]

Hammering bury. hope we do so again on Sat.

You will. No doubt about it.

 

[Agombar stool]

5 first round exits in 5 years. Feeble

 

[womble76]

You will. No doubt about it.

Some on your forum have cheek to say we are nothing special maybe so but we are holding our own in league 1 and have best away form in league
