Replay at the Rec. on Tue night (29th 19:45h KO) - Armageddon-type-climate forecast permitting.

According to their Forum (Sh!tsWeb) prices are £10 Adults ; £5 Concessions.

...would look through myself for some 'choice ties' but the FA site is b@lloxed again this PM.

EDIT found the draw posted on the Anorak's NL Forum fair number of ALL NL ties there too + potentially 'massive' tie at Griffin Pk - if Staines Town can get past Poole in their replay?

.... another one that caught my eye:

MK Dons v FC Halifax

...expect Mariners v Scunny to be TV pick?

Ties to be played w/e 9th Nov

The FA site really is piss poor isn't it!

If Staines win their replay they'll have a local derby v Brentford

[paultheroyal]

If Staines can somehow take out Poole Town, they got a derby against Brentford. Mahoosive!

[Kitsondinho]

Chesterfield is buzzing tonight with the news that Daventry will be coming here for the cup game . Away end will be packed at least. I'd like us to get Chesterfield away in round 3 IF they make it that far.

Nice to see one of football's retro clubs Bradford Park Avenue in the hat for the draw, albeit with them having to overcome non-league powerhouse Kidderminster to make it through to face either Sutton United or Hemel Hempstead.

Rather uncharitably, the FA Website has (Park Avenue) in brackets on the listing for their tie against Kidderminster.

What's the betting Wolves and Sheffield Utds games are both on the telly.

[Royalist]

Am sure i read on twitter the Boreham Wood game is on ITV.

[Royalist]

Shortwood beat Aldershot at Aldershot in the replay so get Port Vale at home

Epic. Have we ever had a team from the Calor Gas South and West Southern League in the FA Cup first round before?

[paultheroyal]

That is shocking even by Aldershot standards

Chasetown made it to 3rd round a few years ago, I think they were in the 8th tier which is the same. I think. maybe.

I think that's the case.

Level 7 is the where the old non-league structure comes in - Southern League, Isthmian and Northern Premier League. So they're in the feeder league to that.

Brentford vs Staines is on as well, Badger Finger must have Corby vs Dover ringed in red ink.

Who did Reading get?

Who did Reading get?

We enter at the same round as Chelsea.

That's because they use that format themselves: http://tc1.bpafc.com/
They were originally Bradford FC, but usually appended Park Avenue (the location of their original stadium) to their name to avoid confusion with City. The reformed club are Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC.

I did not know that. Are they the only team in the world then, with brackets in their name?

[Big Foot]

1st Round "proper" starts tonight - I'll be tuning in to AFC Wimbledon vs Coventry, hoping for a Dons win.

[stealthpapes]

No idea, guess they'd be the only FL club with brackets

but I do like this picture
