The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

No, its not what you think .....!!

I maybe losing the odd brain cell or two (no comments please) but can somebody please explain why Spalding ended up in the Southern draw and play Sutton Town, when we're in the North and play Ashington (240 odd miles away).

They are in Lincolnshire and around 50 miles further north than us ........ :x :x

Still baffles me .......!!

Worked it out, its because we're in North .... amptonshire

I think that's Sutton-in-Ashfield near Mansfield - and still in the north as far as the draw is concerned.

I think the first 14 ties are in the North - http://www.thefa.com/Competitions/FACom ... e/Fixtures

Thanks Formic :oops:

Thought it was Sutton with those brown and yellow chequered shirts. Teach me to post late at night.

Still, looking forward to the game at Ashington, should be a great day out.
