£5k in the bank and a win in the Trophy

Two massive reasons to be cheerful!

I hope we get as many people as possible down to AFC Wimbledon to cheer the lads on in round 2!

I thought it looked more than that, especially if there was 84 in the away end.

476 would be my guesstimate and I'm sticking with it.  I await my slaying!

My formative Alty years included the Trophy runs to the semis (2 replays) v Scarborough in 77 and the final v Leatherhead in 78. We had great support for both cup runs and I struggle to understand why these days a cup that finishes at Wembley is so under regarded. For a club like us its a real chance for a bit of glory and a big big day out. Lets spread the message, get 150 or more down to Kingsmeadow and start to believe we can win a major Trophy.

The really annoying thing about tonight is that the £5k replaces the income from the non attenders so is not really a bonus.

It was a good effort numbers wise by Wrexham tonight IMO

Shame that their team doesn't apply the same rules AND very little, if any,acknowledgment between their team and their fans at the end...

Tonight was a replay though. So as long as we covered our costs we're in a no worse position financially than if we had won on Saturday.

We still have to pay half of net costs to Wrexham. Clearly at a loss especially if GM's finest decided it needed a presence.

OK, well as long as we covered ours and Wrexham's costs we're no worse off...

Ecky

The numbers were so poor that we checked them three times and 407 was the answer every time

Sorry to bugger up any conspiracy theories
