And the first semi-final out of the hat saw Bromsgrove Sporting paired with Cleethorpes Town, with Midland League Division One club Sporting playing host in the first leg before it’s back to the east coast for the decider.
Coleshill Town will be hosts at Pack Meadow in the first leg of the other semi-final, as South Shields head to the Midlands first before playing the second leg at Mariners Park a week later.
The first legs will take place on Saturday 11 March, with the second legs seven days later on Saturday 18 March.
Not only will the winners secure a place at Wembley Stadium in May, but they’ll also pick up £4500 in prize money, whilst there will be a £1500 consolidation prize for the losing semi-finalists.
The draw
1 Bromsgrove Sporting v Cleethorpes Town
2 Coleshill Town v South Shields

Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea

Bromsgrove had 3000 watching them at the weekend.

Not sure how the Bradley are going to cope as I'm sure it will only host 1100-1200 fans.

I see the home leg of the game is on the same day we're at home to Crawley.

Will Humberside Police be able to deal with 2 such massive games at the same time?

Should play it at blundel park before the Town game, would bring in extra revenue for both clubs and Cleethorpes could actually play a home match.

It would definitely show a real community spirit if GTFC let Cleethorpes play the game at BP

According to this  Clee (Northern Counties East Premier) are Level 5 in non-league and Bromsgrove (Midland League Division One) are Level 6, even though Bromsgrove are 2nd favourites to win the competition after South  Shields.

How many Grimsby Fans would make the trip to Wembley to watch Cleethorpes if they get there?  I don't think many will but I'm sure some would
