FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round

[Steve T]

National division clubs come in. Can Banbury avoid one for the third successive season?

The draw will be divided into north and south sections. Your guess is as good as mine as to which we'll be in. Last season Hereford, Stratford and Brackley were in the north while Banbury were in the south – with Kidderminster!

Last year Kiddi had a replay at a southern team hence in the southern section!

Anstey Nomads at home would be good

[Steve T]

It was being the 'odd man out' in a regional draw that saw Banbury paired with Marine and Ramsbottom in the Trophy in 2014.

[Sparky]

Placed in the Southern Section.

And the draw is at 3:15, not 1 o'clock.

Home to Taunton would be good. Unfinished business...

[Sparky]

Bracknell Town away.

...playing in Sandhurst, five miles south.

[Sparky]

And easy by rail, fifteen minute walk from Sandhurst Station.

Looking at the ground, and with TV Plonkers involved, I wouldn't be surprised if it is all ticket and segregated. Probably reduced numbers for us.

Reading are at home on that day. The tie might be switched to Friday or Sunday.

[Steve T]

The luck of the draw again for Banbury. Makes up for some bad ones in recent times...

Some weren't so fortunate. Folkestone face a near 240-mile trip to South Wales.  Plymouth Parkway have already been to Chesham (230) and have another six league matches in and around the western half of London, so 250 miles to Hornchurch shouldn't bother them if they get past Oxford City. Pity Ashington – if they win their replay they face an excursion to Potato Land (also 240 miles).

Attractive ties: 5, 8, 10, 14, 22, 29.

Bracknell are advertising ticket sales. There's no switch of time or date.

Well, didn't enjoy that. Bracknell were at us from the 1st minute and at times we struggled to cope. Conceded two very poor goals from corners. Created many half chances with lots of pressure, but I didn't feel we really looked like scoring.

Not helped at all by some appalling refereeing. Awful decisions, allowed them to waste so much time in the second half it was a serious joke. Don't know how the leagues can improve this. It was so obvious what Bracknell were doing and the guy fell for it.

Oh well
