The club expects to take 8,000 fans for the match at Eastlands, which will see the winners promoted to the Football League. They will also screen it live at the ground they share with Kingstonian FC.

AFC were set up after the Wimbledon team of 'Crazy Gang' fame moved to Milton Keynes in 2003 before becoming the MK Dons the following year but they feel that history is part of their own. Beasant became a hero among the fans after his penalty save from John Aldridge helped Wimbledon beat Liverpool in the 1988 FA Cup Final.

Tomorrow's match is considered to be just as big and Brown is leaving nothing to chance, especially as it could be decided by spotkicks if the scores are level after extra-time.

"Everyone knows what Dave did in the Cup Final and I have asked him to give me some tips because I may have to save one in the match," said Brown. "We have practiced them in training but any help from him could make all the difference. I would love to follow in his footsteps.

"This is massive for us. Luton will be tough to beat but we are confident."

Chief executive Erik Samuelson is in no doubt the team will win and has already budgeted for League Two football next season.

And they are also looking at sites in their spiritual home of Merton for a new stadium. He said: "We have identified a couple of areas and are evaluating them now. I hope in the next two or three months I will be able to go back to the members and say we have found somewhere.

"We will look to build a 10,000-12,000 seater at first with capacity to make it bigger and being optimistic I hope it could be done in seven years.

"I have made two budgets, one to go up and one if we don't. The squad will stay much the same because it is full of young talented players. We will recruit but not a lot."
