Yes, basically.
But to expand on that...you are a Premiership side. You're a very good Premiership side. You've got a great stadium and when I do watch Premiership matches, I find your club far more exciting than the likes of Villa, Spurs and such.
Anyone outside the Premiership would be arrogant to say this wasn't a big game for them, and would be insulting in the process. And we're Divison Two.
There's a few caveats in that we had hoped for somewhere easier to travel (being a Tuesday night) - such as we took (and sold out) the 4,500 allocation and more boring clubs (away to Bolton and Stoke) in the recent third round FA Cup games, but I doubt we'll bring 500 to this one - that's a downer.
Also, some of us older fans remember when we were in the same division not so many moons ago, so that takes a bit of shine of it, but I personally keep thinking back to my original point of who you are now.
Also, we spent a few years in the utter direness of the Conference (due to dodgy chairmen nearly killing the club). One has to experience Alfreton and Histon away, where your away support is more than their home support and the ground is proper pub league stuff. Beating Luton at Wembley in front of 50,000 was an experience that made up for it, but yeah....taking everything into account, it wasn't a second's thought on getting the train booked for this one.
