I would have thought so to, but both club web sites say Tuesday ?



I was just going off the BBC site.

Quoted from Poojah
Weirdly, it’s difficult to muster an opinion as to who I’d want. Last season we conspired to get virtually the worst conceivable draw on five consecutive occasions, and yet somehow managed to turn it into comfortably the most memorable and incredible FA cup campaign the club has had in living memory.


It is extremely unlikely we will be able to repeat last season's heroics, so thank goodness we weren't drawn against the League One leaders this year.

Ebbsfleet or Slough should be beatable, if our players have the right attitude.

I agree with Jockstrap: I'd prefer the lowest ranked team until the third round, and then hope for a trip to Old Trafford.

A glamour tie though this looks set to be, do we perhaps have an outside chance of making the TV for this one?

From a very quick glance, Slough look to be the third lowest ranked team (21st in the NLS) to be playing a league side at home (Billericay and Marine the other two). Ordinarily I’d still think no chance, but does our status as last season’s quarter finalists give us an edge? The TV broadcasters will have plenty of relevant stock footage for ads etc.

I think Slough (a) has the potential to be absolutely excellent

I’ve jumped the gun slightly actually, in assuming Billericay would despatch Sheppey United (who I’d genuinely never heard of until this moment), but they’re currently 1-0 down.

Sheppey United v Walsall will be the first pick, if that result plays out.
