By Neil JohnstonBBC Sport
It started with 736 clubs dreaming of a money-spinning run but this season's FA Cup is already down to 392 teams.

The third hurdle on the road to Wembley - after the extra preliminary round and the preliminary round - will see another 116 eliminated over the next few days as clubs battle for a second qualifying round place.

There's a 43-year-old former Premier League striker and FA Cup semi-finalist taking part at this stage as well as the team whose joint managers are brothers.

BBC Sport takes a look at some of the stories to feature in the first qualifying round.

Cheesed off
Waterlogged pitches, international call-ups, floodlight failure... all frequent reasons games have to be rearranged.

But when was the last time you heard a match had been been moved because of a cheese show?

Frome Town's tie with West Country rivals Chippenham Town has been brought forward from Saturday to Friday because it clashes with the town's biggest event of the year.

The Frome Cheese Show showcases over 1,200 cheese entries from around the globe

The Frome Agriculture and Cheese Show attracted 20,000 visitors last year and officials of the Southern League Premier Division club acted amid fears the attendance would be hit if the tie was not rescheduled.

"Chippenham are only a few miles down the road and we'd like to think we could expect a crowd of around 500 or 600," Frome secretary and managing director Ian Pearce told BBC Sport.

"But the cheese show is huge, the biggest event in the town's calendar.

"It would have had a big knock-on effect in terms of the attendance had we not re-arranged the date.

"A lot of our fans like going to the cheese show, including our chairman, Jeremy Alderman, who is one of the show's sponsors."

Frome, who play in the seventh tier, have former Hearts defender Jake Hutchings in their squad.

 

Any postponement would beat it - as that match hasn't been postponed, having been brought forward instead.

I thank you.

An Edan game apparently.

 

You should never have to make a choice between football and cheese.

 

Think some need to manchego up a bit

 

Gouda played better.

 

Always going to Brie a draw.

 

Cheddar Evans?

 

This is absolutely crackers.

 

It's the last cheese straw.

 

Apologies but I'm on a roll here............a cheese roll obviously.

 

Didn't quite get the thread at first but understand now as I read it again Caerphilly.

 

Should this be on a football forum, or should it be on the cheese board?

 

Spread the word.

 

Apparently neither team showed any kraft.

 

Oh dairylea that was bad.
