FA CUP THIRD ROUND DRAW.

This Monday night we will have the draw for the 3rd Round of this seasons FA Cup. Was almost going to write about how AFC Wimbledon had made a real mess of things at 3-0 down on Sunday to non league Curzon Ashton, but an amazing spell of 3 goals in a little over 2 minutes linked with a last gasp winner from Tom Elliott made it a remarkable 4-3 win against the non league side and The Dons are therefore still in with a chance of a money spinning tie in round three.

We will update here on Monday night with the details of the 3rd round draw while it's being made which will begin shortly after 7pm on Monday evening. Former players Ian Wright and Steven Gerrard will be on hand to perform the draw out of the 'hat'. 

AFC Wimbledon have been allocated ball number 45.

Reaction;
Well it's an away tie for the Dons against SUTTON UNITED. A significant match in our history since it was Sutton who were our first ever opponents when we had to reform as AFC Wimbledon so not far to go and a good chance to progress to round four you would hope.
