FA Cup draw tomorrow.

Post by sussexdiamond »

Early rounds of FA Cup and Trophy announced tomorrow at 11am.
As a Step 4 club are we exempt from preliminary rounds of FA Cup.

I wonder if we will get put in with the usual Spartan League crowd?

We are exempt from the Extra Preliminary Round, but will play in the Preliminary Round.

Yep, we'll start in the Preliminary Round of both the Trophy and the Cup, correct?

And there's the Youth Cup draw also, are we in the Preliminary Round of that too?

Very much looking forward to this tomorrow. Fingers crossed for all away ties against teams we would rarely play.

One thing to note from today's announcement is they are only drawing for 2 rather than the usual 3 stages of the FA Cup tomorrow - http://www.thefa.com/news/the-fa-cup/20 ... -youth-cup
