Well, we're in the last 32 - and in the hat for today's draw, which is being made around 1pm. Watch this space to discover our fate... One slight downside is that ties are to be played on the weekend of 14th January - which means rescheduling to a midweek date our schlep down to Brackley! Nice...

Suits me - I was not sure I'd be able to go to Brackley due to family commitments - should be able to make that now.

Speaking of Brackley... we've been drawn at home to the winner of Fylde v Brackley.

Rather ironic, eh? And a tough draw, whichever way tomorrow's replay goes. But at least we are at home - AGAIN! Sandy and I shall be putting in overtime claims for all these extra programme articles...

Home again (naturally).
Have to hope Fylde have their eyes on a bigger prize or Brackley suffer from a January journey north.
Onward and upward.

And get an absolute certifiable head the ball in on non contract terms, just to boot Danny Rowe arse over breakfast whenever he gets within a yard of him!

Looks as if we may need to dust off our Skids records, as The Saints Are - well, probably are! - Coming.
Half-time - and it's Brackley 3, Fylde 0.

Rowe's now on as part of a triple sub HT change, heh!

More than a touch of arrogance on Fylde's part - fielding a less-than-full-strength starting line-up against decent opposition from the same level.
Sincerely hope it proves over the next 45 minutes to have backfired.

we've had a weird old season with our cup draws - salford the week before we play them in the league, bpa in the league then the following saturday in the cup; and now brackley (a) postponed by brackley (h)...almost like a sentient hand was guiding the fixture computer...

Brackley it will now definitely be, as they finish up as 4-0 winners on the night.
