Very kind of you to ask DC. Still recovering! I love the FA Cup and we sat excitedly around the TV watching the draw. The one match-up I never want came up and all my enthusiasm washed away. Their are Wimbledon fans who will never visit MK, nor even watch a match against them in Wimbledon. I'm certainly not that, I just didn't fancy a miserable Sunday losing there, and I thought we would (or away record at MK isn't great). I won't win any fan of the year awards with that outlook.
My family were up for it and I feel a bit guilty to have effectively ignored them. Having watched the footage of the crowd, I think we would have enjoyed ourselves, the result obviously, but more that everybody (1,800) really were in it together which dulls any negative result.
We go to limited away matches anyway so it would have been against the norm. Away matches are fun but take a huge time out of the day, it's why selfishly I like the Broncos playing at Plough Lane; the convenience.
Much happier with our second round home draw to Dagenham and Redbridge in the "District Line Derby". Gives us a great opportunity to get through to Round 3 and the potential of a big match. But equally I love watching the non league clubs being successful in the FA Cup. If Dagenham come to PL and win, kudos to them and will hope they get a huge third round tie as a reward.
