Well, its that time again when the Draw for the 1st Round proper takes place tomorrow, here is a little teaser:
AFC Wimbledon progressed to The FA Cup First Round Proper to set up the prospect of a tie against breakaway club MK Dons.
The Conference South outfit advanced to the First Round Proper proper with a 1-0 win away at Maidstone United. Midfielder Sam Hatton struck the only goal of the game on 32 minutes to keep alive the prospect of a dream tie with Roberto Di Matteo's League One side.
Kidderminster Harriers eased through to the First Round Proper, too with a thumping 5-1 win at Conference North side Kings Lynn. Matthew Barnes-Homer, Russell Penn, Marin Brittain, Brian Smikle and Justin Richards were all on target for the visitors.
Conference high-flyers Cambridge United were made to struggle for their place in the First Round Proper surviving a scare at Boston United but eventually emerged 3-2 winners.
Danny Crow, Robbie Willmott and a Matt Bloomer own goal helped the U's past the Pilgrims in a thrilling tie at York Street.
Torquay United booked their place in the next round with a comfortable 4-1 win over Chipstead at Plainmoor. Strikers Tyrone Thompson and Tim Sills both netted a brace to guide the Gulls through.
Barrow crushed Tamworth 4-0 at the Lambs Ground, and were inspired to victory by a second half treble from on-loan striker Richard Brodie.
Fleetwood Town came out on top in a seven-goal thriller against Nantwich Town. Andy Bell was the hat-trick hero for the Fishermen as they emerged 4-3 winners.
Conference North Droylsden were nearly beaten by Belper town, but the Bloods held on for a 0-0 draw.
Bury Town recorded a 4-1 win over Basingstoke Town at Ram Meadow with Sam Reed on target twice for the hosts.
An early goal from Sheffield FC's Scott Partridge had the world's oldest ever football club dreaming of a First Round Proper Yorkshire derby against former FA Cup winners Leeds United.
But they eventually lost 3-1 away at Blyth Spartans with Gary Brown, Shaun Reay and Robert Dale all scoring in the second half comeback.
Oxford United ensured their name was in the hat with a 2-0 home win over Hayes & Yeading United. Football League loan duo Jamie Guy and James Constable were the goalscorers at the Kassam Stadium.
Kettering Town, Team Bath, Grays Athletic, Evesham United and Dorchester Town all advanced with home wins.
And elsewhere, Alfreton Town, Brackley Town, Eastbourne Borough and Harlow Town kept their Cup dreams alive with away day victories.
Other big names Wrexham and Stevenage Borough face replays to book their place in the First Round Proper Proper while York City and Mansfield Town played out a draw at Kitkat Crescent.
The draw for The FA Cup First Round Proper will be live on ITV from 1pm on Sunday 26 October.
With us having to go to a replay I really do hope we get a big draw against someone like Millwall, Leeds or Stockport, but on the other hand I hope we get to the first round and get 2 easy games to get to the 3rd where we could play the likes of Man U, Man C, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool etc you get the idea.
So, the cup is almost upon us, all Discussion in this thread.
