They have to pay a fortune in rent, so would in all likelihood actually lose money if they were drawn at home in the cup, bearing in mind that it's a split gate.

well like i said i dont want to draw them would want to draw a lower ranked club at home so we can go through to the 4th qualifying round and some Blue Square Premier clubs.

FA Cup Draw


Had to happen.....

Ilkeston Town v Eastwood Town


Others for those on here


FC United Of Manchester v Stalybridge Celtic
Workington v Warrington Town or Radcliffe Borough
FC Halifax Town v Burscough
Fleetwood v Vauxhall Motors


I'm sure Fax will be happy with that but that is a harsh draw for Warrington or Radcliffe.

We "should" beat Vauxhall at home.

there in the division above but like i said am quite happy with drawing anyone at home at this stage and i am confident about progressing

They were very poor 2 weeks ago at Ilkeston and I can not see that they have a lot to trouble you with.

Nightmare! But we've had 3 home ties already this year in the F.A Cup so I can't complain too much. Hopefully we'll get the job done tomorrow at Raccy.

Looks like Chorley's run is over,drawn away to Northwich Victoria.

you deserve some real credit.

your the only team to have taken anything off FC Halifax Town in any competition this season.

you can beat them if you play like you did against the shaymen to earn that point then i cant see why you cant beat them.

At home i'd agree we'd have a chance but the away form this season has not been good.You never know in the FA Cup,if Chorley have a little luck and they have an off day there could be a shock result.

another one bites the dust.

FC Halifax Town win again as the unbeaten streak stretches to 14 in all competitions this season. yet to be beaten this year.

The Police in their infinite wisdom are making the Ilkeston v Eastwood FA Cup tie kick off at 12 noon (and the league fixtures over Christmas), total over reaction but oh so predictable.

Another loss on the balance sheet, bloody marvellous.

another win for the shaymen today.

comeback win to go through to next round of the fa trophy unbeaten this season in any competition

i am also very very annoyed because bamber bridge drew there match Halifax's home game with them tuesday night has been postponed.

therefore all the other top teams in our league will play tuesday and gain points on us and they will also play on saturday in the league whilst were playing in the fa cup.

so we could end up being 7 points behind Colwyn bay by next saturday night and have 4 games in hand on them.

during the winter months matches always get called off so because we are already falling behind in games and we havent even reached winter yet i can see us having to play every single tuesday and saturday during march and april to catch games up and this might end our chances of promotion.

my problem is is why are there so many pointless trophies in this league i personally couldnt care if we get knocked out of them the only ones i want to stay in are the fa cup and the fa trophy we can put a junior squad out in the rest of them cause there pointless and as a team still in every single competition we are playing 3 games a week every weekedn.

we have the winning mentality at the moment. because there are more competitions at this level than at premiership level and these are only part time players. what sort of clown came up with having 4 or 5 different competitions at the start of the season. not even premiership clubs have this amount of games to play.

halifax town and indeed some other clubs that play in all of them could end up having played neally 40 games before christmas its stupid.

interesting to see halifax town 11 won again today- oops i mean altrincham

most of there squad is made up of former halifax players.

plus they dont even deserve to be in the coference for a start.
