For me H&R lost that when they took of Chris Dickson. Off - Also Dundas should be have been subbed earlier . Was dead on his feet. Over committed to the free kick as well.

It will be the first time we have ever played a ex Premier League team. We played MK Dons (previously Wimbledon FC who were in the old 1st division (now called the premier league) in the late 80s), at this stage of the cup last year. I don't count that monstrosity of a club. They had no claim on Wimbledon's history as soon as they moved to Milton Keynes.

In fairness, I believe they have now acknowledged this, and have returned all Wimbledon's old trophies, etc to AFCW. MK Dons now regard themselves as a separate club, based in MK. Doesn't undo the huge error made by the FA in ever allowing this travesty to occur, but it at least rights the wrongs as far as is realistically possible.

No real football fan can forgive MK for buying a place in the FL snd kill Milton Keynes City.

Ironically, AFCW have even less claim on the history than MK Dons. Completely new club.

Sorry, but the idea of AFCW taking the moral high ground is just ridiculous.

Oldham - current form: LLWLLD (3rd from bottom) - 4pts (from 18) GD -3 League: 15th - 17 5 6 6 21 18 +3 21 (Repeat of my earlier post) Didn't see the game tonight, but - on paper, at least - not much better than Macc. Wouldn't expect a win - but we should give them a good game. And at home, with the EE in full voice, who knows? Watching the game last night, Oldham seemed to have brought a good number of supporters down with them. Unfortunately I would assume that they would get at least half of the Elvis end for a weekend fixture.

I think there is still a number of potential live games depending on replays, Maidstone v Oldham, guiseley v fleetwood, billericay v grimsby, Solihull v blackpool, Salford v Scunthorpe, Halifax v Wimbledon, Sutton or slough v gills. Not sure if they decide before the replays or wait till played. Salford game will definitely be live as the new 'BBC Manchester' are completely obsessed with them just because of the Man U connection. Billericay is a sure bet you would think as they are one of the lowest ranked clubs left in now, and the Sutton game (regardless of opponents). As BT Sport will want to show a couple, with Friday night and Sunday switches, it is possible all of the ties you listed will end up being shown. I will be surprised if ours is not picked for live coverage.

Many clubs make you stand in a corner in the rain - we give them one of the best away terraces in the league! They should be in the TE, where we can't see them or hear them.

Sorry, but the idea of AFCW taking the moral high ground is just ridiculous. Do you mean the point where they boycotted the club because of the proposed move to Milton Keynes, as that went on for a year. TBF those supporters continued to drive AFCW onwards in decent numbers towards the league again. Oh and thanks for admitting that I am morally superior to you, with my county league experiences. The third nice admission I've had on this board this week. Tim, Scot Stone and now you. Just need JDL to say something complimentary and I have a set I think.

MK FC fans couldn't muster more than 100 for home games when it was Milton Keynes city so, based on what you argue they should not have got the place in the league anyway.

Old question - but I can never remember the answer. How many tickets do we have to give them?
