FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round Draw

[Reading Rebel]

Home or away and preferably not from our division.

[GlenSTFC]

Even the likes of Chesham and Bracknell from the league below are not ideal. Preferably the lowest ranked club left please! Worst draw would be anyone in our division away.

Reading City are the lowest ranked club left in the draw.

If only.

You just know it's going to be someone like Weston away or a Kent or Essex club where most of the clubs in our section of the draw are.

Bracknell home for me. We bear Hayes comfortably so should be confident at home against one division down

I’d say Bracknell would be a tougher match than H&Y with the ex players factor, and being a Berkshire Derby. No I’d rather avoid them and Chesham who would be even tougher seeing as they’ve won every game they’ve played so far!

[Mark44]

Agreed, Reading City would be ideal or if it is local but lower someone like Didcot

[GlenSTFC]

Drawn away to Salisbury City.

They’re 4th in the same league as H&Y, lovely city to visit and not too far and although another tricky tie it’s certainly winnable.

And currently unbeaten at home.

[Reading Rebel]

They play at Partridge Way, Old Sarum.

4th in the table, played 8 won 5 drawn 3, scored 13 conceded 6.

We've played them 5 times since 1982, we've won 4 and drawn 1.

Away and tougher than Hayes&Yeading but we should still approach with confidence.

Could have been worse, all things considered. On paper if you were a neutral it looks like a game that should be an entertaining encounter. I don't suppose Salisbury are over the moon drawing in form Slough either.

The last two times we played Salisbury in the FA Cup......

Not over the moon but I'm sure delighted they are at home.

Did we go on and play Walsall the last time we played Salisbury or was it the year yeading knocked us out

I thought this round was still supposed to be regionalised ?

Seems strange that if both teams win their respective replays this week you could have   Canvey Island v Scunthorpe Utd !
