Getting through Rounds 1 and 2 would give a decent budget for the January window. Don't forget there are gate receipts and possible TV coverage money to be added to that. After the heroics of last season we might be seen as a favourable team to cover...

Our best chance of being live, and that chance being about 100% certain, is if we're drawn away to Salford City.

Cynical, moi?

I can almost guarantee It'll be Woking with Mr Jolley wishing he could join in .....,Almost I said

I'd love Wrexham at home, probably a TV tie, but Haringey Borough or Met Police at home is probably the 'safest' bet to advance.

WSM away for me and another 4-3 win.

There's no safe bet for us.Remember Yate,Burgess Hill,Mangotsfield,Paulton Rovers etc.

That's why I said 'safest'.

Isn't this round drawn north and south?

No, it's a national draw. Remember, we went to Blackpool in the first round. Could be a long journey.....… Gateshead, Dover..... I'd like a trip to Torquay.

Of course, I'm confusing it with the League Cup.

We played Harrow Borough away in the cup back in the 70’s I think. They had a certain player called George Duck up front for them which caused most of the first half to be taken up with foul references like “ he’s swanning around again “ etc etc. It couldn’t have been that enthralling a contest. Anybody remember the score ? I’ve got a 1-0 win at the back of my mind. Hope it’s not another year of a non-league side dumping us, we need the cash!

1983 if memory serves. We won 3-1

Think it was early 80s - we won 3-1 but were a bit shakey at 2-1 ...
If we draw Harringay I hope it's a home game as I was at their ground last season and it was a tad unpleasant.

Aaaaagghhhh I had a feeling about this one, what’s their ground like?
