FA Cup First Round Draw

[pasty]

I think the Albion will get a trip up north,

Isn't the first round (sort of) regionalised ?

Not at all, you're thinking of the League Cup first-round

 

[Everest]

Crawley?

:thud:

I don't really care. We won't win anyway

 

[strings]

Does anyone know the ball numbers for the draw?

 

[dougdeep]

We are number 7 by the way.

It used to be north and south until fairly recently. Now we could face a trip to Newcastle Blue Star(if they win today), Blyth Spartans or Barrow.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Leiston/Lewes would be nice

[Frutos]

Why does the alphabetical order stop half way through then start from the beginning again?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Why does the alphabetical order stop half way through then start from the beginning again?

Football League then Non-League clubs

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Why does the alphabetical order stop half way through then start from the beginning again?

Football first, Non-League second

 

[Frutos]

Football League then Non-League clubs

Strange, don't see why, if they're insisting on alphabetical order, they couldn't have just one A-Z.

 

[strings]

Martin Keown and Ozzy Ardiles are drawing the numbers.

 

[Nottseagull]

49 AFC Hornchurch
50 AFC Wimbledon
51 Alfreton Town
52 Ashford Town (Middx)/Forest Green Rovers
53 Barrow
54 Blyth Spartans
55 Brackley Town
56 Bury Town
etc
What is your source for these numbers? Teams progressing from a previous round are usually allocated the number from the order in which they were drawn, eg winners of the first tie drawn today will be no.1 in the second round, whilst the last-drawn will be no. 40.

 

[Marc]

Leeds away is what I reckon.
Eastbourne Borough away is what I want.

 

[Gully]

I don't get that either, on the FGR website the Press Officer has stated that their number will be 71.

 

[Gully]

Leeds away is what I reckon.
Eastbourne Borough away is what I want.

Eastbourne Borough would be a complete and utter nightmare, imagine how much controversy the fight for tickets will involve, we never get that right either.

 

[Arthur]

I'd also like Bradford away'

So you and your mates can sing about the fire?

 

[Nottseagull]

Alfreton Town will do nicely for me, just 11 miles away. Grouind is near mainline station and town centre, with plenty of pubs to choose from. About 5 mins from M1 J28.

In think the numbers will be as follows: Add 48 to the 4QR match number and the winners of the tie should have that ball no. eg 78 for Lewes, 70 for Eastbourne Borough, 63 for Horsham.
