Weston S Mare for me. If Rovers went bust then I'd be standing on the terraces next to Pirate. Scott Murray's son plays for them. I notice he is number 2 this season instead of 7, has he been converted from winger to full back pirate? Yes wearing number 2 and been playing as an attacking right back mostly this season. What an outstanding team they have for that level too, several players far too good for the Southern League. Could cause Barnet one or two problems tomorrow.

Fully agree, I do think they’ll be a success there. Also great to see their intentions do seem completely honest and as you say merely looking for an underdog story rather than any Newcastle/Man City Non league version. Sure they can sign a Paul Mullin & Ollie Palmer but their reaction at having to spend 200k on the pitch TWICE was classic. The dust has settled on the initial Hollywood hype & last season didn’t go their way but I think this year they’ll win the league and be back in League Two next term. Would just be nice to get up there for an FA Cup date & offer up a proper lesson😏Particularly to stick it to their troublesome element that seems to have resurfaced now they have national/international exposure & their act together. I see that a 2nd series has now been commissioned. I've really enjoyed it, the mix of "proper" football fans (who live and breathe the club) and a couple of Hollywood stars - always interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff at clubs. Yep, it’s been a great watch. From the guy who runs the pub outside, to the self proclaimed “happy clapper” supporter lady whose a club volunteer, to the painter & decorator dude! Hard to believe they’ve been in that division the last 15 years (sure that’s right) with no real sniff of promotion yet never been in trouble of going down either. No wonder the place was stagnant.

Just happy Wisbech aren't in the draw. I know we won there but the whole day was one that should never be repeated More Racists there than at a KKK convention.

Havant and Waterlooville away would be good. Ten minutes away for me!

139 years, it’s about time we won it. We were robbed in 1978.

Semi final against WBA would have been a breeze and as for Arsenal in the final, we'd have decimated them. In essence then, we won the cup in 78. European Cup Winners Cup 1979? Piece of cake. UTFG 🏴☠️

After today’s matches I’d go for the winner of the Yeovil v Taunton match. Or what about Kings Lynn and meeting up with Tommy W again? I wouldn’t mind a visit to the new York City LNER Stadium with a repeat score from our last trip to Bootham Crescent. Long way to go but hopefully not going to be going there in the near future without the cup.
UTG!

Chippenham have a reply after their keeper made a last minute penalty save.
Their squad includes Alfie Santos, Luke Russe, Tom Mehew and Harvey Greenslade (not sure if he is allowed to play in the cup).
See Kerian Phillips has scored 4 goals in 2 games for Gloucester City.

Fans will be able to watch the draw live on BBC Two, with the draw taking place at approximately 7.15pm BST as well as on the official Emirates FA Cup Twitter and Facebook channels.
Some local teams still left in, a game v Taunton Town would be interesting and some old faces at Chippenham. A trip to the seaside nearby would be nice Torquay & Weymouth still in the draw. For the oldies among us how about a rematch with 'friends' from Wales in Merthyr Town memories of a 6 goal salvo and Ian Alexander's life threatening incident.
Personally I want the lowest ranked team in this and round 2 and a money spinning tie in the 3rd before we commence our new year march toward the play off places

I remember being worried about a giant killing as they had only recently beat Atlanta in whatever European cup they were playing in. Going by the previous posts about being robbed by Ipswich does that make us European champs?

It sounds like the Jocks who say they should have been World champions with that win in 67!
