It's correct here - http://www.thefa.com/Competitions/Fixtures

Whoopee, provided of course, we beat Cockfosters. I know Histon were hoping to get the Lilywhites as they ground share with them. Great draw.

That was a very impressive result against Kings Lynn, but (if we get through!) delighted with that draw. Should be a good occasion regardless of outcome.

Given that we wont win the Cup, I'd rather us get a game like this than potentially go out at somewhere like Royston ;)

and Ralph will be able to get a lift on Cambridge team bus. Everyone wins

By the report it looks like, yes they are a decent side but one of those freak results, clicked for Cambridge and Lynne had a very off day. It does happen you know :o remember Jan 5th :lol: Assuming we get past Cockfosters don`t think we should be counting the revenue from a large gate and presuming this is the end of our FA Cup run for this season though, on our day ;) funny old game ;) and all that.

I was also surprised by City's large win at Kings Lynn last Saturday because they are only a mid table Southern League Premier side and Lynn have been more impressive in their Northern League. Looks like a one off as Brownie points out. Old stager, Adie Cambridge, ex Histon striker, is still banging in the goals for the Lilywhites. Would expect a good few travelling fans, 50-75 at least.

That is a really good draw for us, at home, decent opposition, possible upset, if we go out, it was expected.
As it was said earlier, better than away at Hatfield or somewhere like that.
