FA Cup draw today...

To be played just before our derby with Stourbr*dge. Whats the chances of one of having to play a replay?

Mind you, the last replay we played was in 2008 against Meir KA at home.

4:42 AM?

Teething?

We could get Stourbr*dge Town in the next round as well.

The draw is regionalised -

North
Midlands
South

Or as I saw it summarised somewhere -

Flat Cap
Flat Broke
Flat Bread

The 1st Qualifying Round was split into 5 Zones, so if they stick with that theory then we will be put with the other 24 winners from Zone 2 that were:-

Kettering Town
Belper Town
King's Lynn Town
AFC Mansfield
Rushall Olympic or Soham Town Rangers
Matlock Town
Chasetown or Grantham Town
Evesham United or Barwell
Stourbr*dge
Ilkeston
St. Neots Town or Stamford
Westfields
Lincoln United
Highgate United
Leicester Road or Kirby Muxloe
Coalville Town
Bedworth United
Mickleover Sports
Gresley
Romulus or Hereford
Rugby Town
Dereham Town
Sutton Coldfield Town
Kidsgrove Athletic

Add to this the following from the Conference North / South:-

AFC Telford United
Brackley Town
Gainsborough Trinity
Kidderminster Harriers
Nuneaton Town
Tamworth
Worcester City

Which is only a guess....... we'll probably get Shildon away.............

Stour have emerged from the velvet twitter bag- they're away at Mickleover. We're onto the Flat Broke section of the draw, so any minute now.....

Home to Belper!

After watching the whole of the film 'The Longest Day' whilst the draw was made on Twitter.......

Saturday 17th September 2016
FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round
HALESOWEN TOWN v Belper Town

it throws up an interseting mid week trip to Whitby if we win

We haven't beaten them at home yet.

One draw and 2 defeats; in fact, our only win in six meetings was the championship winning day in April 2014.

They haven't had a great start in the league - http://www.belpertownfc.co.uk/teams/15523/league-table - but a cracking win at Hednesford in the FAC 1Q.

Seems that Reuben Wiggins-Thomas is at Belper. But there's a fortnight to go, so he'll probabaly be somewhere else by then.
