I believe we enter at the next stage? Draw on Monday I presume.

Indeed. The UCL Clubs left in the competition did really well today, so there's a good chance we might face one of them. It will be the same stage of the competition we faced Wulfrunians last season to give some idea of the scope of the draw. I think they are Kempston, Deeping, Holbeach, Huntingdon, Thurnby, Wisbech and PNS, with Yaxley facing a replay.

Plus from Division One Peterborough Sports are through and Spencer have a home replay.
I'd like the chance to set the record straight against the Scottish team though!

I doubt we'd get a chance to face them until the 3rd or 4th Round though, so I suppose Northampton Spencer away would be a nice draw for the 2nd, bringing back good memories!

I wonder if we'll get lumped in with the SSML teams or go north for this round's regionalisation?

Well let's just hope there ain't the same cock up as there was at Curzon Ashton today v Northwich Victoria, where apparently there was utter confusion and the game went into extra time after 90 minutes with the score 0-0, only for someone to intervene and say replay Tuesday night, half time of the extra time

Me too, I seem to remember walking away from the game in January thinking I hope we get them next year to set the record straight.

But its good to enter at this stage, 6 rounds to get through to reach Wembley, still an tough task, but better than having to get through 9 rounds. I fancy a trip to one of the big NL clubs this year as well!

Five home draws will do me. Don't care who against.

Nah, five away draws. Get to go somewhere we probably wouldn't go again, and if we don't do it in the first match, the replay is at home under floodlights.

Put me in that camp too Mad Dog. Although to refine it further, away games against non-UCL clubs. ;)

Perhaps Dunkirk after they knocked out Graham St Prims?
