FA Cup 4th Qualifying round, is when we enter the competition

The draw, the FA have revealed, due to TalkSport's involvement will not be the usual 1pm on the Monday after the previous round. Instead, the draw for the Fourth Round Qualifying of the competition's 150th anniversary season will be made live on talkSPORT2's The Social programme at 3:15pm on Monday 4 October.

Will not be playing Cleethorpes as they lost 0-4 at Curzon Ashton at the weekend

Not sure whether the draw is split between the north and south.

Anyone at home will do me.

Nice to see the FA are such a great competition for smaller sides at least be aligned with such a credible (tongue in cheek) broadcaster.

Anyone at home.

Dover at home would be ideal if the draw isn’t regionalised!

I fancy a Lincolnshire derby......


Boston United or Stamford AFC

Cleethorpes would have been good but they are out.


Would love to be the last Lincolnshire team left after the first round.

Wouldn’t mind Guiseley or York away from a personal point of view, though the location of York’s new ground is the epitome of all that’s wrong with modern, out of town grounds and would require a bus or taxi out of the city centre.

Sadly - completely taken the thrill out of a York away fixture for me even tho I have family v local. Its a soulless place for a ground, and the buses will sit in traffic for ages getting there. No pub near ground, just a big shopping centre

Such a shame given the amount of good boozers in York itself that made a great away day.

Boston away for me although they suffer from the same out of town stadium problem as York.York or Stamford would be next on my list.

A home tie against minnows is not necessarily a good thing. I'm sure many of us remember Bath City, I'm sure Poojah does.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.

According to league position we are the highest ranked team in the draw for the FA Cup. Think this must be the only time in our history this has occurred.

Agreed. Up until very recently I was a York resident, and have been in North Yorkshire since I left Grimsby for university. Bootham Crescent was always a fantastic away day, at a classic, old school, albeit small English football ground, but the new stadium at Monks Cross looks like it was built out of Mecano in a day by disinterested construction students. Basic, unimaginative, soulless, drab. Shame.

I was round that way not long before it 'opened' (in front of no crowd initially). It looked complete but there was fencing all around it it so you couldn't quite walk right the way around it at your leisure, but were it not for the floodlights you'd be forgiven for not noticing there was a football ground right in front of you. It just doesn't feel like an environment you'd expect to see a football ground.

As retail parks go it's alright; trying a bit too hard to appeal to the middle class masses with an M&S and a now defunct John Lewis (non-Lenell). A couple of bland chain restaurants and a decent looking cinema. But I'd absolutely gutted if I ever found myself watching Town home games in such a setting.

It's odd really. York's a fantastic, historic city with a 200k+ population. But they seem to have written off the possibility of ever re-establishing themselves as a league club. There just doesn't seem to be a great desire football there. I'm sure it's a decent ground inside, but it doesn't appear to have been built with the expectation of consistent, sizeable crowds ever making their way there on a Saturday afternoon.

We do need to move away from BP at some point in the future, but we really must ensure it isn't to something like that. Or more specifically, somewhere like that.

Great Coates, which was probably considerably closer to happening, would have been even worse. For no apparent reasons, out of town developments appeared to be popular in the 90s. You only have to drive from the M1 into Sheffield to see how out of town developments can kill communities; miles of derelict factories and a city centre that's like travelling back in time thirty years. Meadowhall killed the place.

Regeneration of once great but now dilapidated places is the way forward.

I think it was the collapse of industry before the retail parks/shopping centres moved in that killed that side of Sheffield. Retail was only able to move in because of industrial collapse first.

The building of out of town stadia of the late 90s and noughties piggy-backed the retail/leisure boom of those days. We were unlucky to have a chairman who was at least a decade behind the curve. It was all over by the time he tried to get on board the boom.

I guess York’s new stadium still happened because land close to York city centre is valuable. No such threat with regard  Blundell Park.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

If we want great pubs it’s got to be away to Stamford - 20 plus all within walking distance in the town centre - not sure the great pubs of Stamford would all want Grimsby though!

The out of town stadia thing very much tied in to the myth that football fans are thugs too, therefore, build the grounds in the middle of nowhere causing less disruption. Add the large outskirt retail boom and it was always gonna happen.

Ironic really given the most attended and biggest stadiums in this country are all pretty much smack bang in the middle of towns/cities.

This obsession with having large car parks as well was odd rather than encouraging folk to use public transport etc.

It town had ever managed to get the ground built (Fenty would not, literally would never have happened, only in his head) both Great Coates and PP would’ve been awful for various reasons.

York seems to be a city, as many have said that just doesn’t seem arsed about having a football team, with the exception of a couple of thousand. When you go you wouldn’t know they have a club and as many have said, the new ground seems soulless.

I’d happily have one of the smaller teams away, always a good day…whoever said Stamford, I’d take that…

Hurst said in his post-match that he is a lover of the FA Cup, and that he'd like to get to round 3 if possible. In the next 2 rounds any minnows will do for me so that we progress, preferably at home so that it should not take too much effort on the part of the players to progress.

1st and 2nd rounds any 2 weak teams and then pay off time in round 3, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool or any prem team that'll make us a few bob. As I said before I am a cup lover but to me, this season is all about getting back into the EFL.

When you look at how the squad has evolved so far you don't want any injuries, from cup games, that could stop the progress of our return to the EFL. You also don't want fixture backlogs because of drawn games.  The future is looking good, best keep it on track.

It’s always the way that town get a potentially crap draw. I always used to cringe when port vale, tranmere, Carlisle etc were drawn as the home team hoping that we wouldn’t be the next team drawn.

Not sure the teams that are left but someone like marine or Morpeth town (I googled to check they were in it!) at home

When we was first promoted to the old second division ( Championship) under Buckley I can remember us having to play in the first round of the cup for some administrative reason which I can’t remember why now .
I suspect we’d have been the highest ranches club then

Yeah. Hanley v Brackley was the mouthwatering pick last time.


Arguably the biggest non-league grudge match since Quorn vs New Salamis.

Its Stamford..., can't be that far from the centre surely?


Good couple of miles, maybe three.

Notice Peterborough Sports are in it too. Tiny Ground, No bigger than Cleethorpes Town.

Quoted from grimps


When we was first promoted to the old second division ( Championship) under Buckley I can remember us having to play in the first round of the cup for some administrative reason which I can’t remember why now .
I suspect we’d have been the highest ranches club then


Think it was to do with the number of teams in the top divisions being higher than normal, so as one of the two lowest ranked teams in Division Two we got put in the FA Cup first round. We lost to Blackpool then of the 4th (I think, may have been 3rd) division and Grovesy scored.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I was going to ask why Quorn has got beef with Salamis. It's a long way away

Aye, the top flight had 22 teams rather than 20 from 91/92 til 94/95 I think.

(Tranmere (promoted through the ploffs) were the other D2 side in the first round)

Sadly - completely taken the thrill out of a York away fixture for me even tho I have family v local. Its a soulless place for a ground, and the buses will sit in traffic for ages getting there. No pub near ground, just a big shopping centre

Such a shame given the amount of good boozers in York itself that made a great away day.


There's a pub about a 10-15 minute walk from the new ground called Pear tree farm serves good food too

they made heavy weather of beating Welwyn , who are in a league below and aren't that good at that level!  Cracking goal to win it though though

Most likely tv game has to be Atherton/Marine v Wrexham. even though its guranteed to be on BBC Wales anyway. They also look at Notts C as a big team (they used to be in the top leagues) so their trip to Tamworth looks likely. But ours also has giantish killing written all over it so who knows.
