Let's hope we can arrange the Welling game a bit earlier than last season, when we also drew them in the second round, struggled to find a week when one or other of the clubs wasn't already committed midweek and ended up playing it in the first week of April. The first round is now complete except that QPR's game at Corinthian-Casuals was postponed and will be played on 12 December. They're in the other half of the draw so that doesn't affect us.
Round 1: won away at Cockfosters, 3-2. Round 2: away at Welling United Quarter Final: home against Haringey Borough or Barking Semi-final: away at one of Hilltop, Balham, Metropolitan Police or Bromley Final: To be played at Bromley FC, date TBC.

If we get to the 1/4 final will we still play away. I thought that was tye deal for our participation or was that just the Kent Cup

The draws get set up to force the league clubs to be away, at least for the first couple of rounds and I think for the quarters. This one could have ended up as us against Orient, so the draw was left the way it fell. I'd imagine we'd probably offer to let our opponents host it if we get past Welling, but there doesn't seem to be rule that says we have to.
My source at the London FA said the date wasn't cast in stone yet. Of course, it might well be that 30th April has been agreed firmly with Bromley and he just happened not to know it was fixed. There's a long way to go before that becomes our problem, though, not least a second round away game at the biggest club that enters its first team into the competition.
I may be reading too much into it, but I think the fact the website article says who the winner of the Welling match will play in the quarters, but doesn't say if it will be home or away, suggests that we intend to offer to let the opposition host it if it's us that goes through. It would have been very easy to say the quarter final would be at Dartford if it's us, which is what the draw says, but it didn't say that.

The quarter final is us or Welling against Barking. Welling would be at home, we'd probably be away.
The winner of that plays Balham or Met Police in the semi-final, definitely away.
The final is at Bromley against one of Cray Wanderers, Dartford, Hendon or Sporting Bengal United.
Known in the dystopian streets of Sidcup and Orpington as the Ronnie and Reggie Cray double. Where big Bro Charlie is currency.
