i echo that..good luck to them...hope they get rochdale away..

Well done Warrington Town!!..... Just hope they get a high profile home tie now - With a town of our size, a home tie against a League 1 or even League 2 side would surely guarantee enough interest to attract a crowd that would be worth moving the tie to the Halliwell Jones, and, with it, a pretty decent payday for the club?

Get in.....
The Yellows win again 1-0
In to the first round proper!!!!
We must be the lowest rank football team in the competition by divisions!

They are.

I went this afternoon - good crowd, must have made some money and now into the next round.

Battled well - North Ferriby had a player sent off early in the 2nd half,

Lets hope for a good draw,

Latics at home?
hmmmm

I would say that Sheffield United are the biggest team in Monday's draw and would fetch a fair amount of fans if Town draw them at home... Also Coventry, a relatively recent winner of the FA Cup, would also be quite a nice draw.

Saying that, any league side at home would be a decent draw and someone like a Tranmere would give Town a reasonable chance of a proper Cup upset.

I'll hopefully be jumping on the bandwagon for the next round. Fingers crossed for a decent tie.

There was nearly 700 there today.
The highest attendance for years, since Hyde Utd
In what was the same round nearly 20 years ago.
Over a 1000 there that night.

We could make a bit more money if they'd have more that 2 behind the bar!
I reckon £4.5k-£5k took on entrance fee

Was also there. Great scenes, well done Town. A far cry from the days of 60 people there in the early 90s. Shame they ran out of programmes and pies by 1520, but hopefully a bit of cash was raised with more to come in the next round. Here's hoping for a London or South east team away, would be the first time WT have been down south since the 87 cup run...

If they got a big tie, would they look to move it to the HJ?

Warrington Town are number 53 in the draw. If they get a "good" draw I hope that Wolves do step in and offer the HJ to them. Its always a shame if a team has to move away from home for a BIG game but at this level Jessie J got it way wrong......it IS about the money.

Is the HJ ready to host a fixture though? Given that it's currently out of season I assumed the pitch would be getting relaid.

Considering that when the stadium was being proposed, much was made about it being something for the community as a whole - I think it would be only right then to offer its use to a venture that is bringing some positive coverage to the town for a change.

As for it being ready for use, well didn't we used to let Liverpool's reserves use it throughout the winter once? - I'm no groundkeeping expert but at the end of our season, the pitch didn't particularly look in bad enough condition to require a relay... A bit of work here and there, but nothing that could be massively disrupted by 90 minutes of football.

The pitch would be more than capable of holding the game. Haven't seen anything about being relaid this winter (infact HJ is holding the game V Widnes this xmas so probably no relaying being done).

The only things I can see against any game being held at the HJ would be
a) would WT really want to give up home field advantage in exchange for a few extra quid ...suppose it would depend how much extra and
b) is there any "politics" going on. Peel holding will be doing up the area where cantilever park is as part of their Ocean gateway project. All of Towns efforts are in promoting a move from CP directly to a new stadium at Gemini. Surely, until they get big enough a ground share at HJ would appear to be better solution. KC etc show that the two games can co-exist........as long as the landlord doesnt favour one sport over the other.
