And for Spennymoor.
Lets try not to mess this up as there are always shocks in the first round especially. Lets hope we are not one of them. Yes I'm stating the obvious!

Tough gig but Rob Kelly’s knowledge may help.

Have we ever had a FA Cup game at home in the last few years? Seem to be doing a Plymouth and never at home

Bit late for that now!
Tough draw not a good one for money or progression. Northampton away was though too and we managed that two years ago…
