Interesting to look at an aerial photo of Graham St Prims' ground on Bing Maps or similar - they are very close to neighboring Borrowash Victoria (as close as Whitworths) and it appears from the picture that in order to get to Borrowash's ground it is necessary to drive through Graham St Prims' car park :shock:

Their history seems quite tied in with Borrowash - http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/grahamstr ... 26080.html
That article really highlights the challenges they have faced.

Happy with this draw against a great name as well, my dad will love it, he's called Graham! But a home draw to a step 6 team is a good draw at this stage, especially considering the strength of opposition we got at this stage last year, I'm sure they'll be no pushovers considering some of their Vase results, but I'd like to think it'll be a little easier getting through than last round ;)

Though in regards to regions, unless its just a coincidence that a lot of the games are pretty local, it seems to be still quite regionalised, at least more so than last year. Kidlington against Bodmin is probably the furthest distance (though its obviously understandable that there would be few games local for Bodmin), but in the north, there's no trips anything like ours last year at this stage.

The Vase rules now state it is regionalised up to and including the fourth round - http://www.thefa.com/~/media/Files/PDF/ ... -2014.ashx

That does seem to mean that in this round the teams furthest north were kept together in the first seven ties drawn.

I'm certain that statement was the same last year (regarding third round regionalisation) yet they decided not to keep it so tight.

Indeed, it was the same two years ago as this year I believe, which is why I was so stunned to see us travel to Ashington twelve months ago.
