Tonbridge Don’t score many, or concede many, plenty of draws this season, but unbeaten at home. Great draw for your boys though, TV game possibly ? 

Reckon if it was a home game we’d have had a chance of TV, but I can’t see it being a featured game at Npton.

 

Reckon they’ll be in for an almighty shock - we only lost last week because we didn’t try to win. We’ll be a red tornado from the kick off. Seriously fancy our chances.

You'd be absolutely raging at the draw thinking you could get Peterborough or Birmingham at home and it's Tonbridge away, winnable though.

Hednesford would be decent, I'd assume a new ground for most and very winnable. Hard to see a scenario where they go up to Gateshead and win though.

Yeah, that's the issue. No way they go to a club who are probably only in non-league by a technicality and win. A tough away game for Boston as well and a bloody awful ground for footage to boot.

Hopefully they don’t bother with Mk Dons v Wimbledon on tv. Rubbish game, play each other regularly and about 7 Mk fans turn up. 
 

Feel for Harborough with that draw especially with Birmingham & Peterborough left in 

MK Dons v Wimbledon was great when they hadn't played each other but not it feels like every season. Not sure why media call it a "blockbuster" when they're in the same division anyway.

 

Bristol Rovers v Western Super Mare and Northampton v Kettering on the other hand..

[Daggers]

That's honestly complete bollocks.

 

 

[Super_horns]

I think there are a few more potentially attractive ties than that and they will probably show the MK Dons v AFC game just to get a fans perspective

Wycombe York why, why?

Tamworth Huddersfield? It has 0-1 written all over it and viewing figures struggling to break double digits.

Realistically Northampton Kettering wouldn't bring in much more in terms of viewing? Most of those with genuine interest would be at the ground

I would've liked to have seen Notts county v Alfreton on the TV list.  

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Buzzing for Wycombe v York, can see why it got picked. Two historic clubs

They aren't the televised ties. It's what the bbc say are the stand out matches.

If that is what the graphic means then someone has a pretty poor understanding on the term "stand out matches"

They changed it in recent years, where can you select the game you watch bit like SKY with the EFL. I think they select around eight 8 matches all at the selected certain times. Of course the Friday night they'll be two, one on BBC One... I expect that to be Sutton Utd v Birmingham City and the other one... I think will be Notts County v Alfreton Town, especially with Forest at home on the second, probably be like the red button option.

They will have 3-4 live games then a few on the Sunday potentially as a final score type programme .

Hednesford 3-1 up over Gateshead. 
 

 

[Tuna]

Hednesford v Gainsborough no one would have thought that when it went to replays.

I'm glad to see the issue kind of resolved itself in a way that none of us could have predicted...

Hednesford v Gainsborough is a cracking little first round tie, mind. Whoever wins it has a great stab at a payday third round tie with a massive club. 

[bovril]

When I hear Hednesford I always think of their game against Middlesbrough the season Boro got to 2 cup finals.
