Wanderers' players aren't under any extra pressure to beat AFC Wimbledon on Sunday to set up a potential cash windfall from a fairytale third round tie.

Cash strapped Blues could do with the boost of a money-spinning tie against one of the Premier League big boys in the next round of the world's oldest cup competition.

But chairman Andrew Howard and manager Gareth Ainsworth said failing to get past the Dons in this weekend's second round tie won't be the be-all and end-all for their season.

Victory would provide a £27,000 boost to the coffers and allow fans to start dreaming of a shot at one of the giants in round three.

Howard said however: "We always set our stall out to get 55 points. We are well on our way to getting that, which is fantastic, so a cup run would be great for the lads.

"A cup run would certainly help the bank balance, but there's no pressure. The lads are going out to perform week in, week out.

"What's exciting about the lads is we are almost having to unleash them on Saturday afternoon. They are so keen to play, there's a real hunger and real excitement.

"They are playing for themselves and playing for the fans. The cup game is just as important as any other game. When they put on a Wycombe shirt they give it everything, whether that's cup or league."

Ainsworth said he was more concerned at the result of the game rather than the possible financial benefits - adding he won't bother watching the third round draw if his side don't make it past the Dons, a team who have already been beaten at Adams Park this season.

The Blues boss said: "For clubs like us and Wimbledon - although our financial plight is probably worse than most - this could mean huge financial benefits if you get the right tie in the third round.

"It's not all about money, it's also about winning games, being a success and giving the fans good attacking football.

"It [getting through] would mean a hell of a lot to any club. It's what this competition does to lower league clubs. The Premier League seems to be monopolising the whole of football finance - this is the one chance we have where we could potentially have a windfall.

"As a manager and ex footballer I just want to win the game. It's not about the money - the money people at the club take care of that.

"The game on Sunday is first and foremost. We can't be thinking of any grand ties in the third round without doing a big job on Wimbledon first. They also have this big carrot, it's there for everyone.

"I won't be watching the third round draw if we're not in it. I don't even know what time it's on on Sunday or Monday. It's all about Sunday's game for me - that's the only thing that matters."
