No. 47 will play no. 56. I'm sure a few would take that right now. Oh, and at home as well. No-one should be subject to legoland if they beat Scarborough.

Considering we've had Curzon Ashton and Brackley (or Bracknell) in the last two years and still really struggled to get through, it feels we're due one we can write off completely.

Chelmsford, Lowestoft, King's Lynn would all be well received though, and I'd take any North West jobbers on a personal level.

Newport County feels inevitable, it's already been too long.

Have to be hoping for a match-up against Chester. Would be lovely to absolutely destroy them, 8-0 or something silly.

Any non league side away will do. Aldershot would be fun, for personal reasons, my ex wife being a Shot the main one.

Fully expecting it to be Northampton (H) though.

Assume Bristol Rovers will play Crawley seeing as I swear they play each other about 6 times a season in various competitions

Don’t really mind who we get, but I hope we get through at least a couple of rounds.

We have good strength in depth this season with a lot of competition for places, so whoever gets the nod for inclusion in our starting XI has no excuse other than to bust a gut to impress, no matter who we draw.

Yeah, we will get someone like Mansfield away and go out.

Hope not, that means we’d still have to come to your place on a Tuesday night. Heard if both teams exit in R1 we’re gonna try to rearrange our game at your place for R2 weekend instead.

That be good, although I don’t wanna get knocked out of the cup obvs.

We sold over 400 a few weeks before the Exeter game was due despite the fact it was obviously going to be postponed.

Oldham, Rochdale, bradford or barrow would be brilliant away. Notts county as it would massively upset Nottinghamshire police.

Have mates down in bristol so somewhere down there away wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Woking away. Fine, I guess, plenty of trips there in the Conference. Including one trip where a shitload of us got in free because they ran out of ticket stubs. Proper conference stuff.

Although I suppose now it's the FA Cup history that'll give us the willies!

Some local games in there like Notts County v Alfreton, Bristol R v Weston S Mare, and Northampton v Kettering.

Chesham away for us.

Curzon Ashton....and Carlisle
Easy ground to get to for Mansfield, very good ground. You will probably get 2000 odd tickets in a massive covered terrace.

Hard hard game though watching Curzon this last 2 seasons they are confident in excellent form extremely hard to score against and have two fast tricky wisemen in a front 3.

Probably lose 5-0 after that build.

Good chance of tv because only really two proper non league vs league ties

Thing is any of them needed to be the other way round to have a chance of tv

Yeah but what are they going to need? They only usually average 400.

Brizzle rovers tie is decent, so is Northampton v Kettering. But us away at Harrogate is shite. Hopefully S4C pick the cup games and put it live like we had last season away at Mansfield.

We're not great still away from home but we've added to our squad and i' like to think we'd get the job done, seeing as there isn't any replays.

Probably 2,500 or so. they’d want to cash in, we’d sell out. That said i’ve been to the ground as it’s not that far away - not much going for it tbh.

Agreed. Just pointing out they were local.

How many tv slots usually?
Defo Sutton United vs Birmingham City on tv

Yeah fair, usually 5/6, wrexham will be in that dodgy welsh channel so that’s one free.

Reckon curzon and us will stand a good chance.

I just hope the allocation is decent, I’m actually free that weekend and it’s not far so I’ll definitely do it if I get a ticket.

I’m no longer in the ‘elite away points club’ as I had to miss Northampton!

I don’t know what the top number is, i’ve got 6, guessing 8 or 9.

Was half tempted to get one for exeter if it gets me up to where i need to be.

People don’t go watch Curzon it’s bloody sad but they are right on doorstep to Man City (it’s about 10 minutes down the road)

On top of that Ashton seems to have a huge man united pub watch clan so they get 800 tops.

I think when we played Wimbledon a few years ago we had maybe at best 1,000 home fans, it sadly isn’t like some other non league clubs where suddenly it is ‘packed’ at big games.

They shall give you a block of the stand and then for segregation issues a terrace behind goal and pretty much most of the side covered terrace.

Curzon have played some excellent stuff for 6-7 seasons now and have one of the best pitches and play some of the most ‘on ground’ football in the conf north but it simply isn’t interesting an area full of glory hunters…..I thought Carlisle was bad for it then seen Manchester is worse
