The Bedlington performance, result and quality of the pitch is still remembered as a horror show.

We need a decent draw and preferably home.

My God - l hadn't seen this horror until just now!

It must rank as the worst result ever by a Colchester United side.

I would love to see Colchester United drawn against Tonbridge Angels for personal reasons.

I get updates from The Angels on a regular basis.

At least Bedlington are not in the frame.

Not forgetting the estuarine bottom-feeders squeezed through in injury-time at Eastleigh...

Tough but winnable, and obviously I'm okay with that one as an awayday.

Likely televised games (it won't be us)?

I reckon Charlton v Southend and/or AFC Wimbledon v MK Dongs.

Yeah, missed that one - think you might be right. Remarkable stat on the programme, Kettering are the highest goalscorers in the history of the competition!

Good job I'm not ticketmaster, I'd want £3 for this LOL.

Looks like they’ve been for sale since Monday.

There's a bit of an art to finding away tickets on the CUFC site. Don't go to the 'Ticket' page, just scroll down on the home page to the bottom and hit tickets there.

Pretty certain pay on the day will be fine if you don't want to sign up for Swinedons marketing e-mails. That's what I'm planning for.

£12 Adult, £10 OAP, so even if they charge a premium for cash on the gate it won’t be much. However, I do suggest buy on line as ticketing queues at Swindon can be tedious. One can always unsubscribe from their crap emails.

My other message is to warn folk that pubs around the Swindon ground are very away fan unfriendly (which is becoming a trend at away grounds ever since other clubs caused trouble). Nearby, there is merely a single away friendly pub about 300 yards from the roundabout near the main entrance. I don’t recall its name, but food was OK and bottled real ale is available.

Last visit, we walked miles to find a welcome. Port Vale & Chesterfield similar.

See you there Wessex!

Years ago my PayPal account was hacked. Probably because I used the same password for everything! In the hope that it might deter others, for the next year my password was;

YoullbeRapedinPrison69$

Normally, if I use rude or childish words in a username or password, I normally end up having to reveal them to someone who’s trying to fix my computer.

I hope you all have a cracking day, or at least a lot better than the last time I visited the Cun#y Ground.

20 plus years ago we played them on Boxing Day and I managed to escape the family ‘festivities’ to head off along the M4. It was one of those away games where you wish you’d stayed at home. Everything went wrong. The traffic, parking, the stewards, arsehole away fans, the ref, cheating Swinedon, you name it.

Standing just the other side of some netting from particularly vile home fans didn’t help. The sort that pays good money to stand with their backs to the game, just to spit at and throw abuse and objects towards away fans. All in all, it was quite an unpleasant experience.

Middle of the second half and refreshments are kicking in, so I head off to answer the call of nature. Entering the toilets, for some inexplicable reason and in a fit of anger, I decided to boot one of the cubicle doors to vent my wrath (have I previously mentioned the inner hooligan?).

….and so, it was to be “hello my old friend instant Karma”.

I had expected the door to slam open or even fly off of its hinges, but for some reason it didn’t move and the rapid deceleration of my footwear resulted in three seriously wrecked pinkies, so bad that I was still limping in March.

To this day, I don’t know if the door was locked off because the toilet was out of order, or if there was some poor U’s fan the other side with his kacks around his ankles. If it was the latter, I like to think I did them a favour. Assuming they didn’t have a heart attack, my size 13 slamming into the door, backed up with 18 stone of aggression must have seriously hastened the arrival of any pending bowel movement and hence they would have been back in view of the pitch much quicker than anticipated. Always glad to help a fellow U’s supporter!

EDIT: Second thoughts, could one of you check that they're not still cowering in the cubicle.

I have two fun memories of Swindon on a Tuesday night….

The first was the behind the goal ball boy that obligingly assisted our time wasting by being hesitant to leave his shelter despite the Swindlers not employing multi-ball. He could not have been wetter if strapped to the front of a herring trawler.

The second was when I grabbed JT’s hand and declared we were a couple to take advantage of a BOGOF Valentine’s Day ticket offer. This was long before woke normality and caused considerable mirth. JT has never forgiven me.

I trust the happy couple will be wearing pink on Saturday in support of Lyles charity work.

No, but made a cash donation that will be matched by CUSA.

Further donations will be accepted by CUSA pre-match tomorrow in the fan-zone lounge. A prize draw will be made rewarding donors en route to Swindon. Prizes include signed memorabilia and hospitality match tickets.

Looking ahead to the cup, surely we play our reserves? With our thin squad and mounting injuries, can we afford to risk players?

A cup run is always nice, but our league survival has to come first?

Having said that, who is our first team? Dc is the new Tinkerman.
