We discuss the goals, cheating Bradford, contrasting style of play, the referee and some shocking facilities considering we were charged £25 for the privilege of going to Valley Parade.We debate the FA cup draw, Bury away, not the most lucrative but hey we'll take it, then there is FC United's stand on the FA's decision to move their game with Chesterfield to a Monday night for TV coverage.Mick delivers his low down on Swindon and we take a look at their recent form, Simon give us the latest odds on the game, plus what the bookies are offering on the Latics to get promoted, down to 8/1 now to finish top of the pile.Unfortunately, due to a technical error (I don't know what I am doing!) the final 15 minutes including the predictions haven't been recorded, what's that you say, 'a blessing in disguise'!Contents: Aborted Halloween intros [see Xmas tape] (0:00); Bradford
