East Preston F A Cup run

[BatterSeagull]

Great to see my village team still in the F A Cup. Wondering whether they are one of the smallest teams left in the competition, either from their place in league pyramid or from average support.
Billericay Town next, then the big boys.

well done EP and good luck in the next rd is it at home? whats the average gate size then and do they play in an inclosed ground or just the local rec?

Yep. Home to Billericay on the 16th.

Think they usually get less than 100 but had 199 for the 1-0 win over Uxbridge in the last round!

Enclosed ground with a little stand for 50.

They've done really well in their few year's existence.

billericay are an ok non league side.

Do they get into the draw with conf and div 3 sides if they get through?

If my memory serves me well was a certain member of Focus DIY involved with East Preston if so it would be a miracle if they still have a ground?

One more qualifying round on the 30th and then Round 1 proper.

Of the teams still in, they are all recognisable to me with cup pedigrees apart from :-

Glasshoughton Welfare (?), Liversedge, Horder CW and Hallen

Reckon EP must be pretty near the smallest left.

Anyone know the answer?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

how many teams are there left from sussex?

 

[readingstockport]

Just think, Wimbledon have one game to go before they could get the franchise monster.

Now that WOULD be interesting.
