Question for the stattos jb will probably know. When we beat AFC Wimbledon last season was that their first competitive game in their new stadium? Will be hard to follow our great FA Cup run of last season. Crying shame no reds fans could see it!
No I think they had played one league match before then. And yes it was a massive shame but you never know could achieve something better in it this season still

Yea they had had a league game there. First ever FA Cup tie there though (and not the first for 30 years, as some were trying to claim).
It is funny when some of the media say AFC Wimbledon are 'returning' to Plough Lane when it isn't built on the same bit of land as the old ground was on, yet you hardly ever hear anyone call the new Tottenham stadium 'White Hart Lane' despite that effectively being a rebuild of it
Also hopefully AFC Sudbury can do one tonight in the cup on the BBC, be interesting to see what the viewing figures are for that game compared to the Premier League one on Sky (which I think will be pretty dire to be honest)
I saw Port Vale beat Accrington 5-1 today, makes our result against them last week seem not as bad in comparison
Sadly Horsham's run is over as they lost 2-0 to Carlisle, they did incredibly well to get that far though and they held out until the 69th minute. Crazy game up at the Shay as well as Halifax beat Maidenhead 7-4. Buxton are lowest ranked team left I believe as they won at York despite sacking their manager this week for asking to go on holiday
Well done to Horsham. Really good cup run and a decent effort today. Carlisle scored their second in the last minute so they were always in the game.
Did anyone listen to the Horsham commentary on BBC Sussex? Commentator kept calling Horsham Crawley!!!
That's dreadful, how can you work for a Sussex station and yet get two of it's most well known towns muddled up? Kind of thing you'd imagine Alan Partridge doing a lot
Very pleased to hear St Albans won last night, I absolutely despise Forest Green Rovers and their owner (who I bet enjoys a sneaky bacon sandwich now and again)
