I don't think either side will be counting their chickens. Weymouth won't be over the moon with that draw, but home advantage is a real bonus with the travelling distance involved. Bit of history there and that can be a great leveller on the day. The visiting fans will outsing and outdrink Weymouth's that's for sure.

It's not my match of the round. That honour goes jointly to Ashford Town (Middx) v Forest Green Rovers and Fleetwood Town v Nantwich Town. Hopefully both of my teams will make the first round proper for the first time in their histories.

Yes but you're bound to say that aren't you. I see that Kentish Town would have been travelling to Retford Town had they looked after Lee Scott better.

Some would say York v Mansfield is tie of the round but personally I'd go for Leiston v Lewes or Boston v Cambridge.

& Leiston must fancy their chances also against a side that has been described as the worse ever to play in the conference !!!
I'm sure the pundits wouldn't be saying that had Steve King still been in charge.

Syd Lexic - It's a shame Hornchurch couldn't have got an easier draw or at least a Conference Club at home, they're capable of beating anyone on the wide open spaces of Bridge Avenue, will you try to get down to Weymouth for the game, I'll be going.

I still don't get how a player in prison would've helped them get any further in the FA Cup?

Probably not I'm afraid Rhodes. Got a busy weekend entertaining the pubgoers of Hertfordshire !

Bitch - I've been looking on the internet for suitable B&B's in Weymouth, did you want to stay on the Friday night, Saturday night or both.

Rhodes, any chance you could stop a) having a dig at Kentish Town and B) take your nose out of Lee Scott's behind?? It's getting very tawdry now and I don't think anyone really gives a **** that you have an issue with the club. And that's probably because nobody there likes you - except perhaps the fella you touted as a potential Newcastle manager (was that a pig I just fly past my window?).
If this Scott Lee fella was as good as you're making him out to be then perhaps he should've moved to a "village based" team concentrate on his football without having to worry about crime and perhaps turn the fortunes of the club around 720 degrees....

Truth Teller - Is this what you call having a dig at Kentish Town

Clip rod, THIS is what I mean by you having a dig at Kentish Town.
Whatever your issues with the club are, you should take them up with the club in private. Or if you really must do it on here, then start a new thread and invite the clubs officials to respond to your issues. I can see you claiming England didn't win the 2010 World cup/it's snowing in Siberia/Ashley Cole plays for Chelsea ALL because Kentish Town didn't look after Lee scott properly

I don't have any issues with Kentish Town, just one or two unanswered questions such as why they didn't wrap their goose that laid the golden egg, namely Lee Scott, up in cotton wool. I would start a new thread as you helpfully suggest but the Club spokesperson Nellie is always like Michael Howard being interviewed by Jeremy Paxman and avoids simple questions like the plague.

I thought Nellie supported Middlesbrough, what's her attraction or link with Kentish Town.
