The draw for the first round proper is this evening. The big guns come on board.
After a dramatic 95th minute, almighty goal mouth scramble equalizer away to 7th tier Barwell FC, R&D have a home replay tomorrow to contend with, but are in the hat all the same.

Number 54 in the draw
A game against Yeovil wouldn't go amiss as it would rekindle the memories of the battle for promotion to the football league between the original R&D and Yeovil back in 2000/01
Maybe a rematch against Cheltenham Town who beat us in a League 2 playoff final in 2002?
Or even a game against Coventry who snapped up our super star jamaican world cup playing, crack smuggling, striker Onandi Lowe in 2004, which then started our spiral back down through the leagues, going bust and eventually resurfacing as AFC R&D.
Anyway.....anyone else got an eye on the draw?

Northwich Victoria were my local team as a kid in the Vauxhall conference back in the day. A bunch of dodgy owners had the club go into Administration. The ckub had been going since 1874. One of the oldest clubs and grounds in Europe and they sold the ground to build houses.
They have reformed now as 1874 Northwich and working their way back up the league
