[essex blade]

draw made live on telly 1-30pm on sunday, who do you fancy playing? , for me a nice local game at roots hall , although the way the shrimpers are playing they would probably beat us!

Is there a list anywhere of the teams in the hat?

EDIT: Found it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011–12_FA_Cup_Qualifying_Rounds#Fourth_Qualifying_Round

All League One and Two teams plus the winners of those ties will be in the draw.

At least we'll be the plum draw that all the non-league teams will be hoping to get.
Sheffield United v Kidsgrove Athletic. Tie of the round!

 

[bricktop]

Any ground i've not been to away, as for me its not about piss easy home draws, or going to a ground i've probably already been to, its about travelling somewhere different, and the lower down the leagues the better!

You are not wrong. It did use to be in the 1st and 2nd rounds however it changed when Man City were relegated to the third tier (to younger viewers yes this did happen!!) and the southern based clubs complained that by regionalising they were missing out on a potential large payday.

One thing is for sure - Neither Clarke nor Phillips will feature for us in this competition. Their loan spell started 14th October so 12th November is just outside that time frame.
Not sure Olly would want them cup tied anyway.

Good cup week that one. Brat-fud in the JPT on the Weds and FA Cup 1st Round on the Satdi.

On the basis of proximity, could you make it an away tie? It's a bit further away than Vale Park, but it would be good in future years to be one of the witnesses to the biggest humiliation in our history.

 

[Selly]

Tamworth or Stourbridge or Kidderminster Away (subject to them getting through)

Failing them Walsall or Burton Away.

Purely on a selfish ease of travel basis...

[norfolkblade]

Best one for me would be Lincoln away, could go out and get pissed as well as I can stay with t missus rather than paying for a hotel or having to drive!

 

[CM14blade]

And of course, a 1st round tie against Lincoln would bring us directly into oppostion with a certain David Holdsworth, who was appointed the new Imps manager yesterday.

 

[norfolkblade]

It's in the stars mate!

 

[SotonBlade]

Anywhere within an hour or two of Salisbury would be perfect!

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

In Derby that weekend so Burton, Notts County or Chesterfield away please.
