Back onto the subject of Warrington Town, there is a lot well-meaning, but inaccurate stuff being written on here.

If Warrington were drawn at home, then standing is not a problem. Standing is permitted for home teams in the FA Cup right up to the quarter-final stage. The main issues would be turnstiles and segregation. Cantilever Park has only one set of functional turnstiles, which could cause a problem for a large crowd and keeping fans apart as they entered the ground. There is also no proper segregation in the ground, which could be a problem if a large visiting support came into town. That would be down to Cheshire Police and the FA to decide on.

The FA likes to keep sides at their own ground wherever possible. An example being last year when Port Vale drew Shortwood United away in round one. Shortwood play in Nailsworth in Gloucestershire and their ground is only accessible down an unlit country lane, which doesn’t even allow cars down it and the ground only holds 900. It is situated less than half a mile from Forest Green Rovers’ ground, which is very modern and holds over 5,000, yet they weren’t allowed to switch it. It was played on a Monday night, live on BT Sport and all the fans had to walk down a country lane in the pitch black. The ground had a lot of temporary work done to it and the tie was played there with a crowd of 1,247. Using that as a precedent, I can’t see Warrington switching the tie away from Cantilever unless the police insist. They might need to make a few temporary improvements to facilities, though.

Anyone who has seen the pitch at Cantilever knows that it makes Dallam Rec look like a bowling green. It is the bobbliest, most uneven area of grass that I have ever seen and it would be a massive advantage to play a better side on that, as you just can’t play any sort of football on it, other than long-ball, physical filth (at which Warrington excel under Shaun Reid’s tutelage).

A few other clarifications:
Saturday’s attendance of 691 is not their highest for 20 years. There was a sell-out crowd of 1,500 there in 2010 when the reformed Chester FC played their first ever game at Cantilever. Around 1,200 were Chester fans.

As a tier eight side, Warrington are the lowest ranked side definitely through to the first round, but they’re not the lowest-ranked team in the hat for round one - that is Shildon who are a tier nine club and have a replay to come. Norton United and Spennymoor Town are also tier eight clubs and both have replays, one of which is Norton v Shildon, which guarantees either another tier eight or tier nine presence in round one.

Personally, Warrington v Port Vale would be all my Christmases come at once, aside from the fact that Warrington would almost certainly knock us out.

best team won...town gave it there all and werent shown up by there far superior opponents...well done to all at town

They're also known as "the wire"

Yes, because they bought the rugby club's nickname. It isn't part of their heritage at all.

Can't we both be Wire?

I don't see any harm in it TBH and would probably say that one would reinforce the other particularly as they are different sports as people from outside the area would be made aware of the town's heritage. It's not like Hull FC suddenly deciding that they also quite fancy being known as The Robins

I'm with you on that UR
