This is our year to get in to the first round proper! Not sure what round we enter, possibly first round qualifying? But a good run could earn the club over £16k.

Yes, we’ll enter this one at the 1st qualifying round

Long overdue a decent FA Cup run although we’ve had a few tough matches at the opening stage over the last few years.

what's the betting we draw tamworth.

Yep, FA Cup should be a priority this year, not a side show to the league imo, about time we had a good cup run, realistically we know a promotion push again in the league this year is very unlikely, but an FA Cup run to the first round could do the club the world of good for the future both in terms of local interest and financially.
