And when we are playing, which depends on Wellingborough progressing or not.

Is the final at Wem-ber-lee?

I think it may be TBA but I imagine so, what a dream come true that would be at the end of our first season!

And I notice on the FA site it says below CRC and Fakenham 'no replay', so perhaps we'll definitely find out our opponents on Saturday.

Don't Swindon Town have a similar set up? I think they are called "New College"

I see 8 out of 156 ties this weekend say no replay and will be decided on penalties if needed. I wonder if our opponents in the next round would agree to finishing the tie at the D & D.
Doubtful I suppose, given our away support most would welcome a replay.

I have to say I wouldn't mind a replay at either CRC or Fakenham. A replay at CRC would mean a trip to the Abbey stadium like old times and Fakenham's ground is quite a tidy little gound.

Fakenham Town are our opponents, think we'll be playing on Saturday as when I last looked WTFC were 3-0 down.

Wellingborough lost 3-0. I was at the D & D as I couldn't get to Harrowby. An even first half, but Bugbooke took them apart in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd and probably should have won by more.
Bugbrooke look a decent side and will be a difficult test for us when we go there in the league in a few weeks, and possibly in the Vase as well as we will play there if we both get through the next round.
