And just like that, the next round. Cirencester v AFC Portchester Gloucester City v H&W Eastleigh v Mangotsfield United Weymouth v Frome or Bognor Regis Clevedon Town v Sholing Bath City v Gosport Bashley v Hungerford
Farnborough got Eastbourne away. The trend of Hampshire teams getting rubbish draws in the FA Cup continues....
A very tough draw as you said Lapras. The Hawks won't fancy their trip to Gloucester. It'sa pity Portchester couldn't get a home draw and Gosport have also got a very tough task at Bath!
Ooop north, Stockport County (they were in [what is now] The Championship in 2001-02) are entering at this stage for the first time. Now in the Conference North, they have what ought to be a straight forward tie at home to Brighouse Town of the NCEL Premier Division (Wessex League level)
Cirencester 2-0 AFC Portchester Gloucester City 1-1 Havant & Waterlooville Eastleigh 4-0 Mangotsfield United Clevedon Town 2-0 Sholing Bath City 2-0 Gosport Eastleigh through, Hawks with a replay and the others out. Cirencester take on the mantle on the Road to Wembley
3rd Qualifying Round: Eastleigh are at home to Oxford City Havant & Waterlooville or Gloucester away to Yate Cirencester at home to Weymouth or Bognor Regis Full draw here http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/News/2013/Sep/third-round-qualifying-draw-300913.aspx
Eastleigh lost 2-3 at home to Oxford City so there are no Hampshire survivors from the early rounds, so Aldershot will be flying the flag in the 4th qualifying round. On the road to Wembley it finished Cirencester 1-2 Weymouth. Weymouth ate at home to Braintree in the 4th qualifying round. Aldershot are away to Shortwood Utd You can se the full draw here http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/News/2013/Oct/fourth-round-qualifying-draw-talksport.aspx
For what it's worth: We're ball number 33 in the draw tomorrow. The 48 League One and Two sides will be joined by 32 winners of the fourth qualifying round ties. The draw takes place at approximately 1.35pm and will be broadcast live on ITV. Who do you hope we get/avoid?
Did I not say we would get a League 1 side away? So ****ing predictable. Seriously, stop fixing these ****ing draws, FA.
Because the FA dislike the county of Hampshire for some unknown reason. Looking at the draws in the last few years, there's been so many terrible draws for Hampshire teams in the Conference South or higher (though less so for Aldershot for some reason).
