Only seems fair if both clubs go thru that we get the Saturday game next.

Fingers crossed we can get past the two fixtures and get a chance to play against Bedford again - I know it might be a bit optimistic, but what do we reckon the chances of getting to the FA Cup proper this year are?

I think even for us, a team that is probably a lot stronger than most teams at this level, the chances of getting through 6 rounds are still pretty low and we'd probably have to either overturn teams 4 levels above us or get some extraordinary fortune in every draw. Not impossible of course and our upset against Cambridge last year gives me hope that we definitely have a chance, but it won't be easy at all. It would be amazing to make the proper stages though!
