It's quite odd following the draw without actually knowing if we made it through today. Qualifying coverage is quite poor online. Well Leek aren't out yet, most of the teams been drawn.
The draw: Tiverton v Doncaster Wycombe v Liversedge/Coalville Town Hull v Morecambe Cheltenham v Swansea Boston Utd v Hornchurch Cambridge City v Leigh RMI Southend v Luton Mansfield v Colchester Hayes v Wrexham Yeading v Halesowen Barnet v Bath City Aldershot v Canvey Island Blackpool v Tamworth Billericay v Stevenage Slough Town/Salisbury v Walsall Darlington v Yeovil Bury v Vauxhall Motors Hinckley Utd/Burton Albion v Torquay Worksop/Alfreton v Macclesfield Scunthorpe v Chesterfield Forest Green v Bournemouth Stafford Rangers v Chester Swindon v Sheff Wed Bristol City v Brentford Leyton Orient v Dag & Red Southport v Hereford Bristol Rovers v Carlisle Exeter v Grimsby Bradford v Rushden & D'monds Peterborough v Tranmere Notts County v Lymington/Woking Milton Keynes Dons v Lancaster City/Scarborough Thurrock v Oldham Northampton v Barnsley Histon v Shrewsbury Hartlepool v Lincoln City Rochdale v Oxford Stockport v Huddersfield Port Vale v Kidderminster Halifax/Leek Town v Cambridge Utd Coalville and Liversedge the two surviving teams who entered at the extra preliminary round stage (the very first round). Neither have made the first round before, and this is Coalville's first entry. Could have got a better draw for Halifax, but still face a replay at Harrison Park first.
[R] below There's a team from about the 7th division down who won today, and if they win the next round, and a 1 in 63 chance means we play them in the 3rd round, then there'll be a rhyming FA Cup tie of Reading v Yeading. Hopefully it'll be sponsored by Reading's best known bed-linen supply shop "Reading Bedding", so we can paraphrase their radio advert to say "If you support Reading or Yeading, the place to be heading is Reading v Yeading, sponsored by Reading Bedding".
