    Always had a soft spot for Newport County mainly because my first love supported them and we met on a school journey...
  • Always keep an eye out for Morecambe as used to watch them when lived there. Have a totally irrational hatred for Macclesfield as its the home of an ex who scratched EVERY SINGLE one of my records when we split. (Actually not that irrational!)

    Luckily I don't have a TV to put my boot through if the Cobblers score.

  • Sutton United, as I used to play for them!

    Has to be Welling for me! Saying that though, I always cheer on the non league clubs against the league clubs.

  • Some fantastic ties there.
    Grimsby Town v Scunthorpe United
    AFC Wimbledon v Coventry City (88 winners V 87 winners)
    Shortwood United V Port Vale (Above list is out of date!)

    Also love Welling.

    Wahey!
  • St Albans City, my second team!
  • Normally would be rooting for Welling, but as it's v Luton 'fraid not this time. Likewise Bishops Stortford, but as they are playing the Cobblers, once again no. Otherwise the town I was brought up in - Biggleswade - are in the first round for the first time ever so they are the tie I will be looking out for.
  • AFC Wimbledon and Welling, always liked the real Wimbledon and Welling are local. For the purpose of work football chat I look out for Coventry who are on a good run in the league, and Southend.

    Dartford. Obvious reasons. Aint holding my breath though as Salisbury have a better side and form and we have all of our strikers out.

    I'll look out for Gillingham (lived in the area a long time and used to know some of the players and their families when my daughters were at school) and the Kent non league clubs. Welling counts as Kent in my book for clarity.

    Welling, obvs. Dartford for the same reason. Ebbsfleet for Stevie Brown. Wimbledon, for fighting the good fight and Micheal Smith. Oldham as they're a mate's team and I've had a few good away days in their director's box (if you can call it a box), plus Charlie McDonald.

    It is much easier liking clubs below you though.
