BURY chairman Terry Robinson rued his club's luck in being rewarded for a brilliant victory over First Division Sheffield United with a long distance trip to Reading.

"Both Reading and ourselves will be disappointed we have drawn each other," he moaned.

"We could have done with a big club for the money but now we've got to make sure we beat them and get into the next round.

"We have a bit of an Indian sign over them in recent years and if they think it is going to be easy then that suits us. We have shown that we are the equal of anybody on our day."
