Another away tie at Northwood awaits if they win that game - and in the first qualifying it would be either Cockfosters or Hanwell Town or Hadley or Oxhey Jets (also away!)

Some interesting games there but a real chance of progression. Northwood were a BSS side not long ago but have dropped like a stone.

London Colney - is that any relation to the Arse training centre?

It sure it. London Colney is a large Village just outside the M25, home to the Arse Training centre

I'm sure their ground is just south of St Albans..

Now there's a day that was blown out of proportion..St Albans away a few years ago. It was like the Chelsea Headhunters had stepped off the train!

Well I was expecting Northampton Spencer and a load of UCL teams, so this is a very nice surprise to be drawn against a handful of new teams even though I've barely heard of London Colney. Northwood should be interesting as they're a level above in the SL central, though correct me if I'm wrong but I think all the other teams are all step 5, so perhaps a half decent chance of making it to at least the 2nd qualifying round and the BSS/BSN teams.

Certainly can see what part of the draw we're in, all teams roughly round that Hertfordshire/North west London area. Really looking forward to it.

So who's bringing a card and tinfoil FA Cup then?

It's all very exciting isn't it - nice to have a couple of road trips on the cards.
