    16 first round games will be televised so I'd say there's a pretty strong chance we'll be one of them. Maybe not on the beeb though.

    Bigger teams than us have had their slip ups against non-league sides in the FA Cup, e.g. Wolves, Liverpool. That said our record against non-league teams is surprisingly good, with very few slip ups in our history, the most memorable in the last 50 years or so being that 1-2 defeat at Telford.

    Remember that day only too well absolutely freezing, pubs wouldn't admit anyone wearing our colors, the whole place a battleground and of course we lost not the best of days

    Went to that match. Bloody freezing and pitch rock hard with ice/frost.

    I hardly missed a game that season including away games, but missed that one,
    did we not get a big ticket allocation or something?

    Big difference been they played conference teams I believe which most as professional or as good as, I’d expect these to be proper part time and have a similar training schedule to an amateur team.

    Tonbridge are in the southern equivalent of the league Park Avenue are in. So that is the standard. They must be one of the lowest ranked teams in the draw

    We would still have to change our formation to ‘match them up’!

    At least we might see Guthrie score with us playing against a team at his level!

    Ah, the original angels, and that Farrah Fawcett bird was the munter in that group.

    Let’s hope he has a blinder against them, and they come back in January with an offer.

    Someone on Twitter has set up a Just Giving for City fans to donate to Tonbridge Angels given it's their first time in the cup since the Seventies and they'll be missing out on fans.

    Seems a reasonable gesture.

    Would be doing my very best to get in the box and do a bit of dribbling. If not i would likely get pulled off at half time.
