Are you? Is that due to geographically, it's easy to get to? In which case, fair enough. But in general, I think it's about as crap as it could get! Not an inspiring ground for us to go to, given we've played them a fair few times and a difficult fixture to try and win.

Looking forward to this tie,two evenly matched teams, both try and play football on the ground.

Yes geographically it's good(it took me over 2 hours to get to the notts county game last week from North Manchester) also in the league we have won there twice in the last two seasons.

There were 14 potential fixtures for us from this draw. Home ties are a tad boring, low attendances poor atmosphere. Away from home it's always a bit more fun. After Wigan (my prefered choice), Blackpool and Fleetwood (all away) I make this the 4th best fixture out of the 14 possibilities.

This does seem to be the way it is panning out, shame really.
100 fans today created a fantastic atmosphere, singing from beginning to end and even when 2.0 down.
Shellshocked and a few grumbles at half time we came back out and started again - brilliant, the players must have got a boost
