Reckon he's got two hopes?:

Droylesden boss Pace said: "All we can hope is that the FA accept we have made no attempt to break the rules and that this was an honest mistake, a human error.

"I'll take any punishment bar expulsion - another replay, hand back the 30 grand, anything. If we go out, I don't know if can carry on here.

"I've gone from thinking I was about to have the best Christmas of my life to having the worst. What makes it even more sickening is that, if I'd have been made aware Sean was due to start his suspension on December 23, I could have brought Tuesday's replay forward by 24 hours."

He'll take what is given, no t got a lot of choice in it. They'll be expunged from the third round and replaced with Chesterfield. The only hope they have is if the FA get a direct instruction from Alex Ferguson not to do it.

Don't see how they can avoid being kicked out. Good enough for them.

the lights going out business stank to high heaven. They were dead and buried 2-0 and they decided they'd have a game of their own called off similar to the first match when the fog descended. Like Chesterfield could control the fog!!!!!!!
Mind you glass houses and that - but this Chesterfield regime has got nothing to do with that time when Darren Brown was chsairman. I hope he gets his regular dose of manfat injected into his rectum during shower time
