    Draw is tonight on the FA Cup 1st round highlights programme on BBC2. The programme starts at 6.15pm, although the draw itself is not expected until around 7.45pm.

    Three seventh tier sides have made it through, namely:
    • Gainsborough Trinity - 20th in the Northern Premier League Premier Division
    • Harborough Town - 16th in the Southern League Midland Premier Division
    • Kettering Town - 1st in the Southern League Premier Central Division
    In terms of ground size, a trip to Harborough Town would be an eye opener. Their capacity for their 4th qualifying round home win over Bury was just 1,600 (the number of City Points for that one would be astronomical).

    Ball numbers are:
    1. Cheltenham Town
    2. Doncaster Rovers
    3. Morecambe
    4. Leyton Orient
    5. Exeter City
    6. Wigan Athletic
    7. Tamworth
    8. Brackley Town
    9. Mansfield Town
    10. Wycombe Wanderers
    11. Bradford City
    12. Gainsborough Trinity
    13. Burton Albion
    14. Oldham Athletic
    15. Bromley
    16. Walsall
    17. Wealdstone
    18. Bristol Rovers
    19. AFC Wimbledon
    20. Solihull Moors
    21. Stockport County
    22. Reading
    23. Stevenage
    24. Kettering Town
    25. Accrington Stanley
    26. Swindon Town
    27. Salford City
    28. Dagenham & Redbridge
    29. Barnsley
    30. Chesham United or Lincoln City
    31. Chesterfield or Horsham
    32. Charlton Athletic
    33. Notts County
    34. Maidenhead United
    35. Harrogate Town
    36. Cambridge United
    37. Gillingham or Blackpool
    38. Harborough Town
    39. Birmingham City
    40. Peterborough United

    Be nice to get Gainsborough Trinity, who I believe were our first competitive opponents for a home game at Valley Parade back in 1903?

    Correct. We've played Gainsborough Trinity 10 times in competitive matches, all of them in the Football League.

    They were indeed. We lost 3-1 I think. Highlights are available on YouTube, a fascinating watch.

    Harrogate have just beaten Wrexham 1-0, if we draw them then we should just save everyone's time and money and award a bye to Harrogate, less painful than watching us lose to them again.

    Morecambe away. On paper very winnable, in reality who knows with us.

    Well, we got past the first round at least. Adams to ease past us before drawing Man City away in the 3rd round for a good payday is nailed on.
