My money's on Lowestoft Town but the winners of the replay between Needham Market and AFC Fylde will go close.

Hi guys, sorry that I haven't dropped in here much recently. I've been embroiled in Glossop's FA Vase exploits. Very spooky that I've ended up with Glossop as I was born there. I was at Chalfont v Glossop in the Semi 1st Leg on Saturday, another stonking game (ended 3-3). 2nd leg is this Saturday at Surrey Street, Glossop. The game is an all-ticket sell out (1600), promises to be a cracker. Could I end up watching my home town team play at Wembley? Pinch me please. Andy www.thefavase.blogspot.com

Wow - hope so! Good luck to Glossop. I always thought it had a very tinpot and slightly amusing name, so I would definitely like to see them do well.

Ah, Glossop North End. Not only very tinpot and slightly amusing but also a proud ex-League club, too.
Glossop joined the League as an expansion team back in 1898-99 when the 2nd Division was extended to 18 clubs. They took it by storm, finishing in the second promotion place behind champions Manchester City in their first season, leaving Leicester Fosse (Leicester City), Newton Heath (Man Utd), Small Heath (Birmingham City) and Woolwich Arsenal trailling in their wake.
Unfortunately, their stay in the top flight was a short one and they went straight back down gathering only 18pts and 4 wins from their 34 games in the First Division to finish 10 pts from safety.
After finishing 5th the next year, Glossop began to lose their grip slowly but surely, going from mid-table to strugglers (though they did reach the FA Cup Quartere Final in 1909, succumbing to the eventual runners-up, Bristol City, in a replay) and finally finished rock bottom in 1914-15, before the League was suspended due to World War War 1.
When the Football League returned for 1919-20 Glossop North End, unfortunately for them, didn't. When Leeds City were kicked out 8 games in, it was Port Vale who were invited back to take over the remaining fixtures, not Glossop.
I would imagine that this is probably the furthest that Glossop have got in an FA national Cup competition since that FA Cup quarter-final in 1909.
