Dunno yet, wait for it...to be announced this lunchtime apparently. So who do we fancy? As always, I'd like an awayday to a smaller club at a ground I've never been to. Westbury or Faversham spring to mind.
Which means it'll more than likely be home to Salisbury...

Currently 5th in National Legaue North. Tough opponents although perhaps that's when we are at our best...

Been there before in the Cup when we took them apart in the days of Griffiths and Maskell up front. Bit tougher now though I expect.

25 years since we met them (then known as Merthyr Tydfil) at the same stage of the competition, with us winning 3-0 and eventually going on to face Barnet in the first round proper. As LE said, will be much tougher this time around.

Public transport options look long and expensive.
The Trust are looking in to coach costs but to gauge expectations if it is something you would be interested in then please respond below.
At the moment waiting to hear back on costs so no approximate cost per person but the more interest we have the less it will be per traveller.

Pretty good day out as I recall, lots of singing by both sets of fans in their bar beforehand, all in.good spirits, and guys coming up afterwards in the car park to shake our hands and wish us a safe journey back. And this after we'd knocked the stuffing out of them on the pitch! Hoping for more of the same...
