All starts with a drink..

you can pre order your half time drink at latics...

Well bugger me.

Croft Park is a great non league ground, and you can pre-order your half time drinks in the clubhouse pre-game (like the theatre, don't you know..).

Like I said before though, it's a ball ache on public transport.

They've been averaging around 1000 at home, so I'm sure they'd bring close to that if we were to play them. As you said, it'd be a good shout for a TV game too.

Good noise yesterday chaps. A few more traditional Latics songs wouldn't go amiss for me, but good effort as per.

Surprised their shot from Cox that Rachubka tipped over the bar wasn't on there.

That was an incredible save, and Cox went straight to Chubs to shake his hand before the corner.

Gosport Borough, Forest Green, Altrincham and Blyth all play today. Any of those home or away would do for me. Altrincham would have a certain drunken, tram-ride across Manchester charm about it.

I wear a poppy to remember those who went to war and died because they more-or-less had no choice.

Think Jabo/Poleon or Jabo/Forte would be more effective.

Winchester played well first half, but saw less of the ball as the game went on. He desperately needs to build some confidence on his left foot.

Bet you we don't get Blackpool in the second round.

Ahhh crap.

Slightly nervy at times.

Too many misplaced passes.

Caught offside far too much.

Jones freekick superb, ran the show at times.

Terrible referee.

In the draw!

Today's game is no foregone conclusion, but I'd love a second round day out at somewhere like Weston-super-Mare. Blyth would be a good trip, but it's a nightmare on public transport.

Failing that, Blackpool would be fun, and a decent chance of a third round tie.

Our pitch is so good these days I wouldn't want to see one on BP. Build as many as you can for training and commercial purposes, but not as our main pitch.

Hopefully a month of being kicked around by some Conference defenders will set him up for some League 1 game time.

Makes Poleon sound like a polite 100m sprinter, and not a striker. Hopefully he'll have a good game vs Orient tomorrow.

For pure ecstatic celebration, the moment I realised that Robbie Simpson's header at Forest had bounced in rather than gone over the bar. Pure Bedlam!

For me that'd be Garry Mac at Goodison. Unbelivable celebrations when that went in.

The cut-price could have had a bit more promotion on social media IMO. I also follow Scunthorpe Utd on Facebook (my Dad and I occasionally go to their games as he's from the area) and they are much more thorough with promoting the club with news, articles, reminders etc.

He's hasn't done a right lot at Fiorentina. Suprised Juve are interested.

The notice board in Tandle Hill car park has been taken down, but you're welcome to put one up in the centre.

Can't bloody wait.

FCUM in the FA Trophy.

How come we don't play Boys in Blue at games anymore? I'm gutted about that.

Yup, it was £2. Terrible game. Lost 0-1.

I wasn't being serious about the McDonalds banner. I can't belive it annoyed someone on there enough to be all snooty...

 

"I presume they haven't cottoned on that this company has two outlets in Rochdale, (Kingsway and Sandbrook Park) ergo they haven't left Rochdale because it's "so :censored:"...

 

Gutted!

I'm too embarrassed to read what's on the link, but that's quite funny.
