Cup Draws

At home to Leighton Town or Northampton Sileby in the FA cup.

At home to Histon then the winner will be at home to Coalville in the FA Trophy!!

Bit disappointed by that, was hoping for us to be away, especially when we come across teams we haven't played before like Coalville.

As this is Preliminary Round do we know potential opponents if we win?. What date is it scheduled for?

Very good draws. At home in all matches.

Chance to avenge our home defeat by Histon in the League Cup last season

Great draws. Progression is my only concern in the FA Cup at this stage given the prize money involved, this draw has given us an excellent chance.

I've noticed that Wellingborough will also be at home in the Preliminary Round if they get past Stotfold in the Extra Preliminary Round, so there's a possibility our game could get moved to Friday/Sunday.

I'd like us to have a better crack at the Trophy next season, these first two draws give us a decent chance in that also.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Surely as the senior team we would have first choice on dates, although I am not adverse to a sunday game.

I agree we should make more effort in the trophy but last year we were knocked out when our minds were focused on the FA Cup, I would not complain if that were the case again.
