Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

Here's the teams in the hat and they're in the 4 areas they were split into for the previous round. If it's north and south then it's probably the top two groups (north) and the bottom two groups (south) of teams. There are however an odd number of teams in 1 and 3 so expect some movement on the borders. Felixstowe away anybody?

Their Twitter feed said 11:00 yesterday. It now says 12:00.

I see from the FA website that we were one of 3 contenders for 'Club of the round' award for the 1st qualifying. 3-0 against Coleshill. Were we that good?

It was based on media production and marketing of the tie, not the game itself.

If that's the criterion I should think that with your excellent coverage Daniel we must stand a good chance of reaching Wembley next May.

I quite fancy Brimscombe & Thrupp.

Isn't that a firm of solicitors in Cradley Heath?

They've just confirmed that it's a straight North / South split.

First out!

Nantwich or Marine at home.

It took about 17 seconds...

Decent draw again. Could have been better, but could have been much worse. Marine are at home in the replay.
