Shame it's not Didcot instead of Arlesey Town going to Coventry.

[leicsRoyal]

Like the look of Boreham Wood v Brentford.

Will try and get to this one.

It becomes harder each year to remember who is non league and who is league. You new where you stood back in the day when Yeovil were the perenial giant killers. Must be the first time I can remember Cambridge City getting further than United?

when I was a kid growing up back in the 1970's / early 80's I can remember Enfield, Woking and Telford all used to have pretty decent non-league sides who pulled off a few upsets - sadly now even in these early rounds you just don't seem to get the same number of giant killings you used to get back inthe 70's or 80's .

[Jackson Corner]

That's it, I don't really consider it an upset if Luton, Wrexham or Mansfield beat a league side, as I always think of them as league sides. Even though they are not.

Some would say that Portsmouth should have been in that mix

Gosport Borough 1 - 2 Slough Town, get in! Slough away to Mansfield in 1st Round proper.

Edit: Yate Town beaten Newport 3-1 AET, well done them as well!

Gosport Borough 1 - 2 Slough Town, get in! Slough away to Mansfield in 1st Round proper.

Where do Slough play home games now?

Beaconsfield

Indeed, Holloways Park, home of Beaconsfield SYCOB - just off M40 Jn2, about 7 miles outside Slough (hence average attendances of 250ish). As has been mentioned on here before, plans are afoot to move back into Slough and the Council have added the project to their regeneration scheme which should hopefully give it a good chance of getting planning approval.

Cup doesn't start till January does it ?

Cup doesn't start till January does it ?

Started in August. I

Mansfield charging £15 to watch a conference side play a Evo Stick Division 1 level club! Even the biggest clubs would think that's abit much!

[AthleticoSpizz]

Southern Premier Cambridge City 0-0 MK Dons....possession 31% -69%

[biscuitman]

Watched that on ESPN. I calculated MK must of had 40 shots. Never seen so many misses in my life.

[AthleticoSpizz]

yep. bit of a money spinner for CC, but no happy endings on the replay

[Jerry St Clair]

G'arn Yate Town!

Cheltenham v Yate

The first ever Gloucestershire derby in the first round proper of the FA Cup. Hoping for a draw at Whaddon Road so I can go down to Yate for the replay. Would be an absolute belter.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Yate out, Slough still in

[Royal With Cheese]

The Guardian tells me that Yate Town are the lowest ranked team in the draw, playing in the Southern Football League Division One South and West (rolls off the tongue that) – eighth tier of English football. This is their first appearance in qualifying round four, they have never made it to first round proper.

G'arn Yate Town!

Reading legend Michael Meaker is also the assistant manager there.

Legend is a tad overstated.

[Royalist]

Slough have a chance of playing Walsall again if both sides win their replays Paul Merson was Walsall manager when they lost to Slough would be funny if Soccer Saturday made him watch that game!

MK Dons Vs AFC Wimbledon also a chance. Proper Wimbledon fans say they'd never give money to MK Dons so could see an empty away end for a huge grudge match!

[Barry the bird boggler]
