And Joe Riley (one of their many ex-shakers). Always liked him, shame about the injuries. Nice for him to get a welcome back.

At least we won’t lose the ‘never knocked out to a non league side’ record, if that’s a thing?

Not this round we won't!

A money spinning 3rd Round tie would be very welcome this year

I was a bit worried we'd be drawn against my local National League side. When I first started watching them, we were in the Europa League and they were in the eighth tier. There's a fair chance we'll be in the same division next season.

£ Tenner in. Only the lower tiers open (makes sense). There's talk of a load of Bury fans turning up to cheer their former players along.

A tenner is really good value. Definitely up for that.

Ryan Lowe must have been on the booze when he predicted 4000 Argyle fans and a 1000 Shakers turning up. I'll predict 1200 & 75 respectively

Naw, I reckon the Shakers fans will be bang up for it. I know I would, in their situation. They'll be out en masse.

80 of 'em...

(Too soon? I mean, in all seriousness, I would like to see them back in...)
