FA Cup 1st round

[Exe on Valdez]

We must be due an 'easy on paper' home tie to a lower ranked non league club like Chelmsford Town or Paulton Rovers.

I have a horrible feeling that we wouldn't make it easy in practice. As hungry as I am, I'm not wishing for a banana skin.

Chelmsford will be very upset to have been downgraded to a town.

The difference being at home rather than away young Terrance.

somebody rubbish at home please....Argyle it is then

Seconded.

Let's send the feckers back down the A38 after a good thrashing with the Porkstain leading the tears.

Plymouth for round 2. Beat 'em and get MU away 3rd round. That would really p*ss 'em off.

Agreed, even better

The 4th qualifying rounds are due to be played this weekend I believe. The current lowest-ranked team is Shildon AFC (9th tier of the pyramid).

Quite a few tempting names there that we could draw - Torquay would no doubt be a great draw for both clubs but I'd also like to see Hereford (if only for the Stanno song to get full voice), Bath City (for the Tisdale connections) or FC United of Manchester (although the inevitable "giant Exeter City vs minnow FCUM" from the BBC may be more than I could stomach)

On a personal level, I once played (and won) in a local Sunday league cup final which was held at Ossett Town FC so would be fun if we drew them away and I could then legitimately claim to have played on the same pitch as ECFC.

Wasn't Tisdale at Team Bath, not Bath City. Here to be proved wrong. Team Bath no longer exist as a side.

From what I can see it appears none of the Clubs that have previously caused us to be embarrassed are still in it /QUOTE]

I think Bognor Regis are still in!

He was, but Bath is still a connection of sorts
