From the sublime to the ridiculous those two games Chris.... enjoyed the first one even if it was a bit scary before & after the game. The second one of course not so much!

My favourite visit there was when we won 4-1 and Paul Groves got a hat-trick

Last time I went was just before Xmas in the 2017-18 season when they got promoted and we just escaped relegation .....I'd say our chances of getting a win in this cup tie are about as good as the odds then

Not a particularly inspiring destination at all....  used to go to some of their games with a fan of theirs I knew when I lived in MK when they were riding high with David Pleat in charge (promoted that season after that 6-0 drubbing)

Played there a couple of times too when they had their artificial surface.... still never really warmed to the place, although the post match sandwiches were tasty. They literally flew off the plates


Tim, I saw what you did there!

I went to the 4 1 win there. Good day out.

I went to see Worsbrough Bridge U23 v Frickley U23 a week last Monday and there is a cracking programme stall in the clubhouse. I picked up the programme for that game. I had it somewhere at home but thought it'd save me rooting it out. Happy memories. Been one of my happier hunting grounds.

Always thought Luton's fans were snidey but they won't bother you unless they heavily outnumber you. I got chased all over the place after that 2 0 win in 1981. There were about ten of them so that would have been about their favoured odds.

Paul could tell you about how unpleasant they can be when they have one or two rival supporters on their own.

Wonder what sort of ticket prices we'll have to pay for this.

So, unless we win the game, we will make the square root of nowt from the tie.

  I was at the 2-0 win in 1981. I don't remember a thing about the game itself, but I do vividly recall that I strayed a little too close to the fence separating the home fans from the visitors and a delightful gentleman from Luton spat a piece of chewed up pie at me! Funny the things you remember!

Naturally a disappointing draw in the Bullseye look what you could've won mould but I'll be making my way there. Firstly to support the lads who have done so well to get this far against higher league opposition. Secondly, because it's an old school ground I've yet to visit and if their new ground gets the go ahead soon, it could feasibly be the last chance to see the Mariners there. Lastly, because how often do we get to see Town play in the 4th round of the FA Cup and we've got fück all to lose. Probably a 1 in 5 chance we sneak a replay or an upset. Them's good enough odds for me

seem to think i saw us beating them and micky boulding scoring a brace.

also r my god, what a sh1thole it was, and that's being polite. i remember training staff in a newly opening restaurant there and i think they had come from the zombie apocalypse that poojah mentioned

They really don’t have to pay us a tenner!
