What bunch of half wits scheduled the replay for Tuesday, when England will be playing in an important WCQ, being shown live on terrestrial TV?? When we could have attracted a decent crowd, I fear the attendance will now be seriously affected, impacting on revenue for both clubs. Incredible...

You do realise our players / staff (and those of AFC Dunstable) have jobs etc, and have to book time off work in some cases?

I've just seen on Facebook that if we beat Dunstable then we will face Hatfield Town. I thought we were due to face Hoddesdon?
Just checked Hoddesdon's website and the Herald & Post website and both have us down to play them.

Formic and I are just having the same conversation!

The FA website also states Hoddesdon. Are we talking about an official Facebook site from the FA?

Our official Facebook account has just posted that we're playing Hatfield. I noticed this morning that @UCLFanZone on Twitter had us down to play Hatfield. We were definitely initially drawn to face Hoddesdon. References to it on this forum and elsewhere on the net.

OK - I didn't realise we still had an official AFC R&D Facebook account. There's always a danger of updating information in two separate places.

Those that would prefer to watch a bunch of over paid under achievers can donate the money they would have spent at the D&D via the club website.
Amazing

Can't see your point Formic. The England game has been scheduled for months. Replay on Weds, when as far as I'm aware, there' s nothing on at the D&D. A no brainer IMO. As I said we could have attracted a decent crowd. Unfortunately that's now in doubt... :(
