On paper we should get through this one meaning a potential money spinner against the likes of Lincoln, Grimsby, Mansfield, Cambridge, Luton etc

tadcaster have never been this far in the cup, so it really is a massive draw for them. we just have to make sure it is there cup final and we put them to bed. oh, while there though i would recommed checking out the john smiths brewery which is right next to the ground  :)

A great day out watching BUFC progress to the next round of the FA Cup and a genuine excuse for coming home smelling like a brewery.

3 brewerys in tadcaster, john smiths, samual smiths and heineken. a tidy small town and entry to the ground is usually a fiver.

I was hoping to avoid anyone above UCL until the third round proper!

Who needs trains when there are Yorkshire Coastliner buses every half hour from Leeds to Tadcaster!

A few familiar pubs as well - The Coach & Horses and The Britannia!

Tadcaster cut in two at the moment, the bridge has been closed amidst fears of it collapsing. I bet the beer is a tad watery.

With the pitch THAT bad why not offer ztadcaster the option of playing at York Street? Would avoid fixture congestion fr both clubs and improve the finances of both club as the attendance would probably be Atleast double depending on how much local interest there was in the game if it was played at their ground and both coubs receive an equall percentage of the gate receipts. Obviously the major drawback for Radcaster being the loss of home advantage.

Didn't the FA rule some years ago that games couldn't be 'transferred' and had to be played at the team drawn first? As far as they are concerned I don't think common sense comes into it  ;D

v.  In the event that following such meeting, the Council decide not to allow and require the match to be played at that ground then the first alternative ground shall be the nearest suitable ground subject to the agreement of the Council.

When smaller clubs were drawn at home to much bigger clubs in the past (up until a decade or so ago), the games were quite frequently switched to the bigger club's ground (e.g. Farnborough Town v Arsenal) citing "safety reasons", which was not entirely accurate. I think the rule was probably brought in to prevent that sort of thing happening.

If it is enforced then the closest free ground would probably be Garforth Town, although alternatives (within about twenty miles) might be:

Selby Town
Harrogate Town (if they lose their replay next week)
Pontefract Collieries
Farsley
Hemsworth Miners Welfare
Guiseley
Askern Villa
Thackley
Osset Albion
Goole

Does any one of those take your fancy?!
