Macclesfield at home! Will be tough with them going well in the league below, but glad we got the home draw. Wonder if Robbie Savage will turn up!

None are easy at this stage but I guess we are favourites on paper. Should produce a decent gate.

It's a good draw. At home to a lower ranked side. With the Robbie Savage element thrown in as well. They get very good attendances at home so hopefully will have a decent travelling support. They thumped Dorking Wanderers 5-0 in the last round so will be a good side.

Hmmm. Could have been a lot worse but there'll be no room for complacency...

Their fans on twitter aren’t too happy with the draw and are hinting at multiple coaches being ran. Possible need for segregation? They still have an efl/national league level fanbase.

Certainly no room for complacency. As well as the drubbing of Dorking, they’ve won away at 2 high-flying National North sides, 4-2 at Alfreton and 2-0 at Curzon Ashton.

Was thinking the same re: segregation. Wonder how many will travel, they obviously don’t play many games down South compared to when they were a league/National league Prem side so might entice a few.
Will be interesting to see what sort of attendance we get for it as well.

Just watched the highlights of their Dorking win. Look very pacey up front. Forward Tunde Owolabe is a handful. They also have Wayne Rooney’s brother, John in the side.

Yes I have also watched it. Dorking defended very poorly. Their keeper made a complete hash of committing himself for one goal. The home team had two penalties, the first was scored on the rebound and the second saved. As Tony commented they look very quick against a very slow defence which looked like they lost interest in the second half. They also had a player sent off in the second half. Looks like the game was played on an artificial surface which they know how to exploit.
Mark White described it as one of the worse games in Dorking ‘s history.
For us it will be a tough game no doubt. We will know what is coming!

For HRB Historian Les: have we ever played a team from the Northern Premier League before?
