    Our Fourth Qualifying Round match ended Worcester City 2-1 Greenwich Borough.

    So it's Worcester City flying the flag as we await the draw this evening.

    Basingstoke are still in the cup after a 1-1 draw. Hope they win the replay.

    Aldershot at home, decent draw for once

    Basingstoke have a decent chance of making the second round

    Pompey v Aldershot is a good draw. The Shots have Phil Smith in goal, and ex-Pompey youngster Joe Oastler in defence.

    Good game to bring in a few of our youngsters like Nick Awford, Ben Close, Dan Butler and even Bradley Tarbuck.

    Anyone know the average home crowd for the Shots ? Wonder how many of them will make the short trip to FP.

    Well the "Road to Wembley" game is Coventry City v Worcester City:

    Focus on Coventry:

    League level: League One [three levels above Worcester]
    Best FA Cup Run: Winners in 1987
    Cup run so far: Entering at this stage
    Last season: Reached Round Four, going out against Arsenal
    Random Fact: Coventry's lack of any trophies was lampooned in an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus

    I'd forgotten that! Remember the game between the Philosophers of Germany and Greece?

    Basingstoke and Havant & Waterlooville both won their replays, so, while Basingstoke entertain Telford, giving them a great chance to get to Round Two, the Hawks have a plumb home tie against Preston North End
