F.A. Cup

1st round proper 1st November and some potential banana skins here after today's 4th Q round draw.
I'm a bit premature, but quite a few clubs with past FA cup links, former player connections and some fairly local too.

We usually want a lower tier club at home which is fine until it all goes Pete Tong.
Just a distraction from other matters.

Some really rotten potential ties in there
Carlisle, Gateshead, Boreham Wood, Eastleigh, Ebbsfleet, Southend, South Shields, Tamworth, Wealdstone……
Imagine they’d all lick their lips at a relegation threatened L2 club visiting them.
Can’t see any ties that look attractive. Maybe Weston-Super-Mare at home for a bit of semi-local interest but even that has a whiff of Alvechurch about it.

I suspect RCS is licking his lips at the thought of any of three of those, away, mind...

I'm convinced it will be FFG or Worthing.

And that's before you include the the majority of the league 1 sides, away.

Weston would be great but I would take Gateshead away too.

Wycombe away. Guaranteed.
