3rd Round draw at lunchtime today. Since we've had Bishop's Stortford and Bromley, how about Bath City next?!

or....Hemel Hempstead home ?
Bath City put out Rovers, & we're having such fun !

D3finitely want a home tie, otherwise we are away three weeks in a row. Quite apart from the cash flow, I'll miss my football!

With FGR going out to Ebbsfleet at the weekend and Grimsby only managing a 0-0 draw at home to Gateshead, we are currently the favourites to win this competition with Bet365. No doubt that might change if we don't get a favourable draw today - but like others have said, I would fancy our chances against anyone at home and fingers crossed we get a good one.

Hemel Hempstead away do ya? Shame we aren't at home but away to one of the lowest ranked teams left in the competition - they are mid table in Conference South - has got to be the next best thing surely !

Got to be happy with this, shame it's not home but ....... 2 possibly all of Wrexham/Grimsby/Gateshead out. 1 possibly both of Woking/Dover out.
We've got a chance here.

I fancied North Ferriby, so I'm a bit gutted, but could get them in the next round. I'll probably go to this one.

Hemel Hempstead fans on their Forum seem quite excited about playing us-apparently we won't fancy playing on their pitch which is described as "sandy"!

Thats good draw for us

Brilliant.

Home would be a great draw, but away... Well anything can happen. I just hope we play a decent team and are up for a fight, because I imagine they will be.

That said, we've comprehensively beaten two teams this season at that level with an aggregate of 9-0. They're lower in the table than Bromley, but ahead of Bishop's Stortford in a fairly safe position of 9th, 11 points above relegation in their first season in the division.

Can't say I know any of their players unfortunately.

Looks like we'll be training on the beach the week before.
