Tamworth v Bristol City is the first fixture from the Second Round to be selected for live television with ITV broadcasting from The Lamb Ground on Sunday 8 December at 2pm.

Why did they pick that game? No FISO involvement at all

[Knulpuk]

Tricky tie for Salisbury at Port Vale.

[Shaggy365]

Tricky tie for Salisbury at Port Vale.

Feeling quietly confident.

I will stick with Macclesfield thanks.

[murf]

Yes, rather embarrassing result for Ralfbergs there.

Full update after all the midweek replays are complete.

[Judio]

The FA are now guaranteed a Non League side in R 3

Macclesfield or Brackley

[Ralfbergs]

Yes, rather embarrassing result for Ralfbergs there.

Both FA Cup and League Cup ended quite fast for me

[jimmy ching]

and me. What an embarrassing defeat for a derby.
Good luck to everybody else.

[Judio]

[murf]

Good away draw for Cambridge last night in their rearranged game (I would have picked them but that game was too tricky to risk). Home replay now to keep the 1st round dragging on.

Quite a few of the remaining non-league teams are actually ex-league teams.

[Judio]

Quite a few of the remaining non-league teams are actually ex-league teams.

Which goes to show how hard it is to get back out of the Conference with only 1 going up automatically.

Recent form shows it takes a minimum of 4 to 5 years to return to the League
