The guy who did the excellent preview that appeared in the Barwell Programme has also done a review of the games on Saturday, which gives a good appreciation of the non-league teams that are left in the draw - https://facupfactfile.wordpress.com/201 ... ie-review/. Looking at both the preview and the review also gives a good indication of the level those teams are playing at.

Details of the draw are on the FA Website - http://www.thefa.com/news/the-fa-cup/20 ... roper-draw

Sheffield United away please! Or any other club with a 10,000+ capacity stadium to make for a great day out for the whole club, Coventry would be a good draw too. But please not away to a boring National League side with a crap ground 100s of miles away, to get to this stage and end up being drawn away to and losing to someone like Braintree or Whitehawk would be annoying, just like Eastwood I think it was a few years back getting all the way to the third round, and of all the places they could have gone to, Old Trafford, the Emirates, Villa Park, Anfield, where did they get? The Rockinghorse! And they lost, rotten piece of luck that :roll:

Although I keep having to remind myself we're not there yet, can't get too excited just yet. But to be in a televised draw for the first time in what, 6 years I think (?), is exciting in itself.

Hoping for Pompey away

That's disappointing

That's disappointing

Got to win first so it's not a tie yet - I'd have taken that on Saturday when we were 2-1 down with seconds ticking down - look at it as a chance to progress further - neither side will like visiting the Dog n Duck
