The lowest placed side remaining in the FA Cup battled their way to a stalemate with Louis van Gaal's men which set up a dream replay at Old Trafford on Tuesday February 3rd for which the League Two outfit have been allocated 9,000 tickets.

"It's a once in a lifetime experience, it would be a great gesture."
