The details of the draws will be available on the FA website from 11am onwards.
We won’t be in either hat at that stage, will we? Don’t know if us getting relegated means we enter at an earlier stage in either competition but I thought we usually come in after a couple of rounds? Be nice to have a good cup run this year.
Scott took Norton on a great run in last years FA cup. Fingers crossed he can replicate that with us.
All Evo-Stik Division One North & South clubs will enter the FA Cup at the Preliminary Round which is played on August 29th. There is an Extra Preliminary Round which is played on August 15th, the day our league programme begins.
I would imagine we come in the FA Trophy at the First Qualifying Round stage which is early October or November I think.

Hope so mate a nice little cup run would be great and just what the club needs.
Yes it would be great if Scott could take us on a good cup run. We are surely due to have a good cup run after the last few seasons poor attempts. But us fans can play our part in doing so by actually turning up for these early rounds and making our presence felt. So let’s all of us make a pre-season vow to do so.
