It's interesting how the word 'tacky' hangs over Blackpool. I was once asked what it was like and gave that answer without having heard it ever described before.

No fans permitted at any games ,extra time introduced and no money for first round losers . So most non league clubs will lose money on expenses on an away trip.

The TV games should come from those ties with a realistic chance of a non league side knocking out a league side!

7 Tonbridge Angels v Bradford City
14 Oxford City v Northampton Town
15 Maldon & Tiptree v Morecambe
18 Eastbourne Borough v Blackpool
24 Hayes & Yeading United v Carlisle United
25 FC United of Manchester v Doncaster Rovers
34 Eastleigh v MK Dons
35 Hampton & Richmond Borough v Oldham Athletic
36 Boreham Wood v Southend United

Interesting to see Crawley drawn away at Torquay.

I’ve been to two Crawley away games in my life - both at Torquay.

I’ve only been to two games at Torquay - both against Crawley.

Those two games were when I lived in Cornwall and I’ve been back in Sussex for 8 years now.

This post is probably only interesting to me! :lol:

I see they've now changed that, giving some of the prize pot to losers in next couple of rounds.just basically taken money from the winners of the round and given some to the losers.

Barnet have got woeful Burton Albion at home in the first round. Christ, it doesn't seem anytime since we were playing Burton! I would have gone to this if the FA allowed fans and it was put on the right day. I would say this could be a shock but Barnet are wildly inconsistent. Losing 5-1 at home on the first day to Eastleigh then beating the bookies favourites and big spenders Dagenham away next game.

If there's no prize money then that's an absolute DISGRACE for every club who is pretty much living on the brink of financial meltdown at the moment. :annoyed:

Canvey Island on a Sunday lunchtime. To some that went, hooliganism was not dead. It was just having a nap.........

Only realised when I got there it was all ticket! Fortunately managed to buy an away from a Brighton fan would have been a longer trip home without seeing the match.
