In the 3rd qualifier of the FA Cup draw, assuming you're in it.
Personally I want a home draw against anybody 'cos whoever we get it'll be tough.
Shock of the round (in the northern half at least) has to be Coalville turning Stafford over.
Sorry Sultan, I wasn't rubbing salt in the wound intentionally but it is a shock.

The saving grace for me was Coalville's result as we got turned over 2-1 at home by Leistor (no I had never heard of the place either, apparently it is quite close to Sizewell which may actually explain some of it). Cup Schmup. Concentrate on the League etc etc.

If we get past the replay at Shortwood, I'll take anyone away, as we're much better on the road this year.
Going somewhere new is always good, that being the one positive side of being held to a draw by Shortwood.

Leedswcfc, Mazey, DazaB, your boys took a hell of a beating.
Halesowen next please, or Atherstone if they win their replay.

With a squad thin in both numbers and talent, several players carrying injuries, a manager who doesn't really know what he's doing and a 400-mile round trip away to Gateshead for a league match on the Wednesday thrown into the mix it was perhaps not quite so unpredictable.  I guessed this was going to happen the night before when i was listening to LBC and heard one of their advertisements. Cue a gremlin announcing " I'm an FA Cup accident, waiting to happen. The only thing i hate is..." Alas, BGR Bloomer Man did NOT turn up to rescue us...  That third round tie at the City of Manchester will have to go on hold for another year... |

Some of our players may well be; but the fans have seen many a quaint countryfied ground down the years. We'll be unfazed, just as long as the village pub is nearby! ;D And we'll be home again should the replay go our way.  |

Another shock result if I remember correctly was Belper Town 4-1 Redditch United. Fair play though, I like Belper.  Following our 3-2 win against Corby we were drawn away at either Dulwich Hamlet (with their famous pink kit) or Hendon (whom I know nothing about). Hendon won their replay 2-1, our match will be played at Wembley FC due to Hendon's ground problems. I may or may not be there, I said after starting at Uni I would try to get to most of the home games but would not make a lot of away games. Might make an exception here as it's not somewhere we're likely to go to again soon. |

M1 is quite difficult when I don't drive.  Still made it there, took a train back to Telford and went on the coach. |
