Well, South Normanton and Bedworth drew so it's a replay and that looks like my Tuesday night game taken care of.

"FC United of Manchester have made a triumphant debut in The FA Cup by beating local rivals Trafford 5-2 in front of 2,500 at Altrincham’s Moss Lane ground.
The game proved to be an end-to-end affair as FC United – formed by Manchester United fans disgruntled when the Glazer family took control at Old Trafford - raced into an early two goal lead before Trafford hit back to level.
FC United took control in the second half, however, with Robert Nugent, Simon Carden, Joshua Howard, Nick Platt and Anthony Hargreaves scoring the goals that set up a meeting with Fleetwood in the second preliminary round.
And FC United manager Karl Marginson was delighted with his team’s performance: “We played so well,” said Marginson.
“The game was played in a great spirit and both teams were able to get the ball down and play, which made for a fantastic spectacle.
“There were some great goals and the fans have gone home having been royally entertained, so everyone is really happy at how the day has panned out.
“At the start it was almost like the old days of the FA Cup – there were fans with rosettes, cardboard cut-outs of the FA Cup and a really good attendance, which benefited both teams.
“Everyone at FC United of Manchester has waited two years since the club was formed to play in the FA Cup as so many people associated with us are former fans of Manchester United.
“I can definitely say it was worth the wait.”
And Marginson revealed history was about to repeat itself in the next round as FC United have been drawn to play Fleetwood – the team against which Newton Heath, who became Manchester United, made their FA Cup debut in 1896.
“It’s amazing that our second FA Cup game will be against the team that Manchester United made their debut against 111 years ago,” said Marginson." (taken from http://www.thefa.com)
So Trafford's cup dream is over, and the mantle of my FA Cup Tinpot team has passed to the Rebel Reds, who as the above article indicates play Fleetwood in the next round.

Alas poor old Banstead lost 7 - 0 at Burgess Hill Town in a tie that the Banstead web site was quoted as being daunting.
Bugress Hill: Winterton; Fogden, Cotton, Gainsford, Piper; Watts, Geard, Howell, Pulling; Sadough, Bradley. Subs: Monaghan (Geard, 44),Turner (Howell, 65), McDonald (Sadough, 82). Middy Starman
Scorers - Geard, Bradley, Sadough 2 (How's that pronounced), Pulling 2 and Gainsford.
Can't find any record of the Banstead team yet!
Burgess Hill now play fellow Ryman South side Dover at home in the next round!

Here's hoping that VT (only really, really cool Tinpot-teams are referred to by initials only!) get through their replay with North Leigh. The prospect of their meeting Bashley (Bash to their pals; website known as Bashnet! Another cool-ish TT element). Would be a genuinely good game that; I might even make the effort... Vt - Bash!! Bash would fancy their chances!

Brief details here - www.theargus.co.uk/sport/argusgeneralsportsnews/display.var.1659149.0.shaheen_injury_takes_sheen_off_cup_win.phpMy lot, Hailsham, live to fight another day after an impressive 1-1 draw at Sussex County League title favourites Crowborough. Lee Barnard scored Hailsham's goal. Two footnotes - firstly, I shall be at the replay tomorrow night for the Eastbourne Herald and secondly, I learnt of their result on Saturday night at a VIP party (oooh, get me!) when someone spotted me and asked how Borough had got on - it turned out to be young Hailsham winger Ryan Alexander...

My lot (VCD) lost, so my team fails again and i am now Erith so it's either Horley or East Preston. If the Erith v whoever wins game goes to a replay i could probably make it to either Horley or East Preston.

Maine Road 0-3 Skelmersdale United.
So the Sultan's first pick goes down at the 2nd hurdle. The North West Counties Leaguers held together for 76 minutes against their NPL opponents and almost equalised before conceding 2 more in the final 5 minutes.
My "new" team are old rivals of Stafford Rangers from our Cheshire League / NPL days on the 60's and 70's, denying us the Cheshire League title in 1969/70, our final year before joining the NPL. "Skem" were always a strong outfit, staying steadfastly amateur until, after winning the FA Amateur Cup beating Dagenham 4-1 at Wembley in front of 47,000,they finally turned pro and followed us into the NPL in 1971/2.
Matches against Skem were always tough and any points taken from them well-earned, but they dropped off my radar screen in 1976 when they took voluntary demotion to the Lancashire Combination for financial reasons.
Skem had several players who went on to bigger things at this time, including John Richards (Wolves & England), Peter Withe (European Cup winner with Villa) and Steve Heighway (Liverpool and Eire). Indeed Heighway played a full international for Eire whilst still a Skem player!
They've got Marine next up so i don't expect to be following Skem for very long......

It had to be you two!

As you'll have noticed, I've fine-tuned the colour-scheme according to the traffic lights system: ( Green = 'Go', Red = 'Stop', Orange = Jaffa Cakes and orange pekoe while we review the situation.) It's not brain science, but then again I'm not a rocket surgeon... [Ambersalamander] 2. Chester-Le-Street Town 2 v BILLINGHAM SYNTHONIA 1[namesareforidiots] 29.

Hopefully you can find it in your hearts to forgive your victors, and keep an eye on them for us.
Congrats to those heading into the First Qualifying Round. Starting to get the Bigger Berthas entering the contest now. Citizen Kane a.k.a. Orson Welles had but 2 words to say. I give you two words of regret for us all to ponder: "Truro City".

Bash would fancy their chances! "Fancy their Chances"?! Nothing personal, but Bash is mostly ex-Salisbury from the past 2 years. Therefore VT are DCD (French for 'mort'.) One of the guys on our Forum is supporting the old Vosper Thorneycroft concern, partly because we beat them in the Cup there last year, and because one of our ex-gipsy star players is still there! Agree with the initials thing, though. Roll on "AFC VT". I love a decent TLA, me!

I shall be at the replay tomorrow night for the Eastbourne Herald Eeeeh. D'ye call that a job o' work, young man? When I were your age, I were down t'pit, wi nowt but a whippet and a flat cap. Bloody stupid looking back though. I got frostbite for lack of clothing, and I couldn't mine much coal wi' one flippin' skinny mutt...
