Only 30 quid in petrol Gloucester and back? What are you driving ?

That's about right isn't it? 12p per mile, ish. (Average car).

Awful performance from the first minute
We were outplayed, outmuscled, outfought by a team in the league below.
The players didn't look interested, very disappointing.
Even AC apologising to fans on twitter but actions speak louder than words

I'm a Glutton for punishment and will still be at Rochdale on Tuesday

Wilson's right about the midfield - Nolan, O Neill and Dimeo - none of them are any good. No physical presence, can't tackle (Dimeo can just) perception , game reading. Wycombe were average today. Wilson - get rid of this dross please.

[Benno Spire]

On a side note, the Goons were gone today.
Also no sign of John Croot in the boardroom, did he eat too much of CT's buffet last week?

[tedspireite]

What a f--kin shambolic performance that was . I sit in ES and tried to get a turner out going but nobody seemed interested. but me been realistic I know we can't afford to sack anyone FFS . I am just so pis--d of what's happened at aur club last 18 months its so frustrating.

One of the Directors who resigned (can't think of his name) was sat on the back row of East Stand. Definite.

I'd say this is the most embarrassing result in my lifetime supporting town. A better side would have had double today, and I reckon we would have lost to Glapwell today (no disrespect to them) we were that poor.

It's a sorry end to 150 years of a club. Would the last person out turn out the light...

No !!! I'll give you Enfield and Basingstoke.

130 miles each way - about right for a car.

Akinfenwa was awesome, great to see the big man chatting and having the selfies with the kids.

Their support was very good too

[Mr Mercury]

First half in particular we couldn't handle him. No offence big man but that says far more about our team than your continuing ability. A couple of years ago you were completely oblivious here, yet two years later you were brilliant..fair play all the same.

[Spire-Power]

Akinfenwa is a dinosaur. Should Danny sign him?

But at least that was a case of non league players giving their all for the dream of a cupset. If anything it's worse getting tanked by a league club pulling up no roots in the league below, especially on your home ground. Plus neither of the mentioned stuck 5 past us.

[Humpalumpa]

Wycombe v Stourbridge or Northampton 3rd round.

Look at what you could have had !!

Missed a chance of a TV appearance if Stourbridge make it through.

Not that we'd beat them on Saturdays performance!!

[Nitrous Oxide]

No but at least we'd be able to see the quality of football we'd be lucky to get if we still have a club to go to.

Why do people say this? We would have probably been a different number....so theirs no reason to suggest we'd have drawn this tie

People say that because the numbers are normally derived from the second round draw position.

No we would have had the same number because we were the 2nd ball out in the 2nd round draw so the first 44 balls are the alphabetical premier and championship clubs then ball 45 is the 1st drawn match from round 2 and so on

[Spire-Power]

If ball number allocation was purely alphabetical we would have got Bolton away
