F.A. Cup 1st Round

[Smiffy]

I am led to believe the draw for the F.A. Cup 1st Round is this Sunday afternoon. Can anyone confirm?

This is the fixture list for the 4th and final qualifying round. The only local non-league side remaining is Chelmsford. But they face a tough trip to Carshalton who disposed of Blue Square South toppers Braintree with ease, in the last round.

FA Cup fourth qualifying round draw:
Mossley v Darlington
Sheffield v Tipton Town
Guiseley v Redditch United
Fleetwood Town v Buxton
Altrincham v Gateshead
Vauxhall Motors v Newcastle Town
FC United of Manchester v Barrow
Workington v Nuneaton Town
Tamworth v Grimsby Town
Kidderminster Harriers v York City
FC Halifax Town v Mansfield Town
Wrexham v Southport
Stalybridge Celtic v Eastwood Town
Droylsden v Barwell
Woking v Eastleigh
Hythe Town v Staines Town
Eastbourne Borough v Harrow Borough
Cambridge United v Lewes
Corby Town v Salisbury City
Newport County v Crawley Town
Luton Town v St Albans City
Farnborough v Dover Athletic
Kettering Town v Rushden & Diamonds
Carshalton Athletic v Chelmsford City
Hendon v Metropolitan Police
Leiston v Dartford
Basingstoke Town v AFC Wimbledon
Swindon Supermarine v Bath City
Havant & Waterlooville v Histon
Forest Green Rovers v Maidenhead United
Poole Town v Hayes & Yeading United
Ebbsfleet United v Boreham Wood

Ties to be played on 23 & 24 October

Obviously League 1 & 2 sides enter at this stage as well. So. Who do you fancy? A ****** non-league trip somewhere or a more glamorous derby against Col Ewe/Orient etc?...

I believe the 1st Round ties will take place over the weekend of November 6 & 7th.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Away at winner of Kidderminster v York please

 

[Grayson]

Away to Poole Town would be my ideal. Someone like Salisbury away would do, though!

 

[Fiftyone]

FC United of Manchester (to do the double over both Man U's) or Tamworth to see Jay Smith one more time.:smiles:

 

[Swiss Tony]

Lincoln home or sheep fiddlers home or away please.

 

[Smiffy]

I quite fancy a southern based non-league team. Fairly close, so we can take a large travelling army.

Someone like Hendon or Hythe will do.

You just know it's going to be Lincoln home/away though, don't you.

 

[ldnfatso]

AFC Wimbledon Away please!

 

[Davros]

Met Police would be interesting

 

[Lord Football]

Sheffield or Tipton Town.

The home of football v Viz's favourite place.

 

[Smiffy]

AFC Wimbledon Away please!

Are you insane?

We would get smashed. They are the biggest banana skin available..

I think that would tip most over the edge.

Both bits of info are right, Smiffy.

The First Round matches are the weekend of 6/7 November.

The draw for the First Round does take place on Sunday. It will be broadcast live on itv1 from 12.30pm.

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

Met Police would be interesting

Quite an arresting prospect.

 

[Jack The Flag]

Met Police v Moshni Bilel. Who will win :winking: ?

I went to Hendon a couple of weeks ago. They now play at Wembley FC and the ground is tiny. As much as I'd love to see them get through, we wouldn't be able to take many fans there. They also forgot the burger when I ordered a cheesburger, so all I got was a cheese and onion roll.

Whoever we get, I won't be able to go as it's my sister's wedding day, so sods law says we'll get Hayes & Yeading away (15 mins by bus from my place)

Good stuff. Thanks mate.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Met Police would be interesting

Spooner would be delighted,but who would he cheer for?

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Isn't there a Northern and Southern draw in the First Round Proper?

 

[Dave of the Match]

Would like to host FC United of Manchester

 

[Mick]

Isn't there a Northern and Southern draw in the First Round Proper?

No, can get anyone..

 

[Southampton Shrimper]

Isn't there a Northern and Southern draw in the First Round Proper?

There used to be, but the last time they did that was back in 1997.

Which explains how we got drawn against Rochdale in the First Round three years ago!
