    So, it's the draw for the first round tomorrow evening.

    Not sure who I would want. Normally I would say non league team at home so that we can progress. Unfortunately I wouldn't even be confident of beating The Met Police who have qualified.

    Tricky question,having the lowest ranked club at home would offer the chance of ultimate humiliation as much as progressing.If we got beat by a non league team it would highlight how bad we are but would we benefit from the only exit we really want? Doubt it.

    Can we opt out? The humiliation of being beaten by a non league team is more than I can put up with tbh.

    Could get Billericay Town if they win their replay.
    Edin could meet an owner with an even bigger ego

    If we're beaten by a non league outfit then our players deserve to be chased off the pitch.

    Then I can leave at half time again and go get pissed instead. Why not.

    Onside, what a mean thing to say.

    I hope in two years time a club like Accrington or Rochdale aren't as rude about us :p

    Cannot see Harrogate beating Wrexham in their replay to be honest

    Wouldn't bet against the same result either
    and we have a ready made excuse of not risking our first team players on that pitch

    Surely we would refuse to play on their artificial surface! It would give them such an advantage. Given the fragility of our players and squad, then the potential injury list, would not make it worth it. We could gift them a bye or put the under 16’s out!

    A big draw would be counterproductive in terms of trying to force a sale of the club.

    Harrogate might actually be favourites for the game.

    We’re 8/13 to go down now, by the way.

    Agree in principle but a sale imo is low, very low. I feel those wishing for new owners as things stands are chasing rainbows.
