I saw a fabulous game at Horsham. The Isthmian Premier side played out of their skins in the first half to go in 2-0 up against National League’s Dorking Wanderers. Second half was more of a backs to the wall effort at times but Horsham missed a one on one that could have sealed with 15 mins left. To be honest, Dorking were very disappointing.

Away at Cray Valley Paper Mills will be tricky, they have a ground capacity of 1000 allegedly. The upside is it is walking distance for me, the downside is I would never qualify for a ticket.

Yeovil away would be my choice. I've missed that hour+ drive and old school open terrace leaning on a crush barrier. The monsoon game and a couple of visits with my son and his grandad, my now late father-in-law. Would be nostalgic and fun.
Just give us an away tie against a Non-League team please - Always love to see us facing someone "new", and an away tie will hopefully see us on the TV to go with it.

Bromley 3-2 Wealdstone
Ebbsfleet 2-2 Slough
Torquay 0-2 Maidstone
AFC Totton 0-1 Ramsgate
Cray Valley 5-2 Enfield
Means that the lowest teams still in the Competition are Cray Valley and Ramsgate from Level 8, whilst Sheppey can join them both.
Reckon they'll be guaranteed TV appearances if they're lucky enough to get drawn at home against League opposition.

The upside is it is walking distance for me, the downside is I would never qualify for a ticket.
Personal preference would be:
1) Worthing
2) Ebsfleet
A trip to Wrexham/Wimbledon are probably the only two football league games which interest me.
For that reason I don’t want to draw a non league side.
I've missed that hour+ drive and old school open terrace leaning on a crush barrier.
The monsoon game and a couple of visits with my son and his grandad, my now late father-in-law.
Would be nostalgic and fun.
In my list of great days out, it didn't make the top million.
If its against a local team, then even better.
