I see there was just over 1500 crowd so I wasn't the only one who didn't fancy it no wonder the 11 on the pitch didn't fancy it either
The thing is Guy season ticket holders have to pay to watch the game, also with three home games in a week even if you have season ticket for the other two games it can still work out expensive
Between the 5th December and 11th December we have three away games at Rochdale, MK Dons and Sunderland. We have a pretty decent away following but those 3 in a week might just stretch the majority. Do the FA care? I doubt they even thought about it. Some of our people travel several hours to get to home matches and if you know this region then you can see why. There are no professional teams in Cornwall so Argyle is by far the nearest for them. It can take them a couple of hours to just get here let alone the price of the ticket and whatever else they buy.
I see Stockport might have done us a favour last night, As you say Greeny it is the whatever else you buy that can really make it expensive. I am off to the Bolton game this Saturday that for me is 200 mile round trip.
There has been a few upsets in the second round games Burton 1-2 Port Vale Doncaster 2-3 Mansfield Ipswich 0-0 Barrow Lincoln 0-1 Hartlepool Portsmouth 1-2 Harrogate Yeovil 1-0 Stevenage Hartlepool may be the biggest surprise as they haven't picked up a league point since October

Phew!! Glad that ones over. To be fair I thought Rochdale were the better team who just couldn't convert chances. But, that also sounds like us in a fair few games. Onwards and upwards we hope. The cash comes in handy.

Didn't even realise it had been drawn till I read your comments on this thread. Guess what Phil? Spot on no it wasn't. A home draw for once would have been nice. We had this las season as well. I either wanted the biggest club if we had to get knocked out or the smallest club at ours. Nowhere near with either of those choices was it. Crap.
