I know it's a bit late but I've been out of email circulation since the match...

1) What a brilliiant performance from the singers - Proud of you all!  My three kids now understand why someone would support Alty rather than a premiership club - the next generation of "Bucks Alty" on the way to being hooked.

2) The last time I saw Alty draw 0-0 away in the FA Cup 1st round we won the replay 4-0 and then lost 1-0 in the 2nd round at Telford!  And Densmore was playing right back.

3) 3,200 is the second lowest ever crowd at a League club against Alty.  Only beaten by 2634 at Darlington in 1983

4) We continue to be unbeaten at 4th Division grounds, although we've lost at home a few times

5) Barry Howard is our leading goalscorer against Football League clubs, with 5 goals, folowed by John Rogers and Barry Whitbread on 4 each and John Davison,Ronnie Ellis and John Hughes on 3

6) In 51 games against league clubs (since the war) we have won 15, drawn 11 and lost 25, with our home record being won 10, drawn 2 lost 16.  Millwall was therefore our 50th game against League opposition.

The above facts are brought to you courtesy of Virgin Atlantic on my flight to New York on Sunday and fuelled by more chardonnay than is good for you.  I will miss the replay as I am in India next week - the last time I was in India for a FA Cup replay we lost 1-0 to Hucknall / the home team beat bigger opposition 1-0 (delete as applicable for a half empty / half full reading of the world)

Superb stats! The crowd thing is an interesting one, clearly well below the usual LTFC gate of 5-6000, but there is that cup sharing thingy. Our att of 359? looked about right to me certainly no more than 400. Who knows, perhaps the gate was right, but the number of 40p in kids would be an interesting statistic.

I had 3 40p kids with me - four of us, £21.20 - excellent value

I found my season ticket for the APL championship winning season of 79-80 - admittedly a Junior but unbelieveably only £10 for the season

And we were unbeaten!

I was really referring to the published gate, as we know, tickets were not issued. When it is divided up how's to know how many paid #20 and how many 40p? I can see a route for shall we say, creativity.

16 wins & 3 Draws if I remember correctly.

Have we ever lost an FA Cup replay at Moss Lane?

Obviously we lost the Everton and Spurs replays at OT and MR.

Are the omens well and truelly with us?

Blackburn Rovers is a painful memory of a replay loss in 73

darlington in 83 is the only other one I can recall

both 2-0 defeats
