We've lost one nil at home to the bottom teams of the 4th and 3rd division.
It's a dot on the card that we'll draw either one of the Sheffields, or Wolves, at home, and lose one nil.

Highly unlikely considering none of those sides enter the competition until the third round.Quote:

We did also beat Cheltenham when they were bottom of league 2.
We may well draw whoever is bottom of league 2 at the time.

The draw's next Monday (13th October), with matches the weekend of 1st November.
(Cue the jokes about Halloween nightmares)
Are we the giants in this draw?
I would say soQuote:

It's Merthyr Town these days and they were knocked out by Hampton & Richmond in the last round.Quote:

The latter two of the 8th teir teams play each other so that would be a fun away day for the 55 people who would qualify for a ticket :hehe:Quote:

Not been in the second round for 23 years, I really hope the club start to take it seriously.
