I think Blyth Spartans v York has an interesting look to it - and I'd quite fancy a trip to either. Miss going to York, not necessarily for the football or the ground but ambience of the whole weekend!
I'd love a trip to Blyth Spartans, my mother's side of my family are from Bedlington and I remember being told that mum went to games there during the war before she was called up, collecting for the war effort. When I was a kid as well as the local collieries the big ship repair yards there were still going and loads of houses and sheds in the area were painted in grey paint from the shipyard... ;). All gone now...

I love York. It's a fantastic City. My best friend lives and works in York so I visit 3 or 4 times a year. Always enjoy my weekends in York, plenty of superb real ale pubs.

How about home to Barnet ? That would work.

They never opened it for us, so that would be a no.

Hagley, Stourbridge
BUT if they were to win they have a great chance of reaching the First Round Proper for the first time ever as they've drawn Stourbridge at home.

Would be a great acheivement for them to reach the FA Cup 1st Round and you never know, they could even draw us!
Underestimate Stourbridge at your peril! On Saturday I saw them come back from two down to knock out Kidderminster Harriers.

They have a fine FACup record in recent years including dispatching Plymouth Argyle ; first drawing at Gnome Park and then defeating them in the replay.

Away to winner of "9 Dunston UTS VS Gateshead" - A City team on Tyneside is well overdue.

(note: Dunston is part of Gateshead)
Dunston are the lowest ranked team left, and being up against a relative giant in Gateshead, might get the TV pick.

Be amusing for Gateshead if they win, and then draw Sunderland in R1 !

Harrogate is a great town, wouldn't mind playing them away, assuming I could get time off to pop back !
