And it's:-

Bradford Park Avenue v HALESOWEN TOWN
Saturday 14th December 2019 kick off 3p.m.

Well, that's a load of shite. Disappointed with that.

They're bottom of their league, and lose heavily quite often. So seems winnable. But still, a bit mehy.

Bradford is halfway between my house and Halesowen so not that near - almost certainly going though! (checking train times now!)

A good draw I reckon - not just for me - as we must have a decent chance of getting through based on current form

Shame it's away. That said we've drawn a team who are obviously nowhere near as good as a team we've just beaten.

A mere 17 miles for Doc. Probably at bit much for a pub crawl though....

I remember going to the old Park Avenue ground several times in the sixties and early seventies to watch them play Huddersfield in the West Riding Senior Cup (a Mickey Mouse Cup like the Birmingham Senior). However, my abiding memory is one year going to see Huddersfield play Leeds in the final there. Leeds kicked off and the second pass was to Peter Lorimer who was stood at the back of the centre circle. He unleashed one of his rocket shots which the Huddersfield keeper never saw, but fortunately for him, it hit the crossbar, which I swear was still shaking at half-time.

To this day I have never seen the ball hit as hard
