When you consider that this game is worth potentially between £75k to £100k to the winners (the figure including prize money and shared gate receipts from both the Oxford & Sheff Utd game) , this game takes on extra significance.

That sort of money covers our wage bill for the best part of two months (if our £10k a week budget is taken into account )

Get through against Oxford... and the T.V. cameras might just roll up to witness a third round game that would encapsulate all the romance of the F.A. Cup, underdog versus a fallen giant and all that. A "winnable" third round game on home soil with the chance of drawing a real giant in round four!!! Potentially more money into the coffers!!!

I'm sure all this isn't lost on Leam and the boys. Here's hoping we can do the business later tonight!!:
