How about home to FC United of Manchester......big gate and winnable.
Not Lowestoft and their Neanderthals please!
-
Stockport closest for moi ..
-
Home game with a big gate would be my preference
-
Of that top list i think there is only Afc Fylde and Bury Town which would be new opponents. I believe we have played all of the others in one competition or another over recent years.
-
Home to any of the Unibond clubs which gives us the best chance for progression. Not really bothered about drawing "big" opposition at this stage would sooner get a proper big club in round 1.
And Ferret/Adam I'd say every game is winnable, just the percentages get smaller the higher the oppo. So taking your example Ferret I'd guess at about 75% in our favour for a home tie against FCUM. For Adam's derby it'd depend on whether it is home or away but let's say away, I'd give us about a 20% chance at Grimsby and 40% at Lincoln...

We've played Bury Town before in the FA Cup - 4th Nov 1972 Q4 A Bury T 1100 W 3-1 Conde, Froggatt, Svarc
-
We haven't played Ilkeston FC, either. They're only a couple of years old, though!
-
Haven't played Ossett Albion either - just Ossett Town. Wouldn't say no to another trip to Ossett. Not far from Leeds and there's a rather special real ale pub - The Brewer's Pride.
-
We beat Kendal 3-1 today, be good to play you guys again, but I want a home tie against someone our league or below.

I wasn't counting that as recent!

Are we allowed to dream of bringing Sheffield United down to York Street?

What Time is the draw? Fingers crossed for Lincoln away!
