Team formed in 1991. Usually play in front of around 50 fans. Prior to cup run, had never played in front of attendance over 99. Had 750 for the last round. Now expect over 2,000 for the next round tomorrow against FC United of Manchester. Will earn £12,500 if they get through.

Unfortunately, this match isn't a contest and FCUM should win in a canter.

I see Bet365 are quoting 4/5 HT/FT and this is an absolute steal as the gulf in class between the two teams is enormous. As was stated in the article, when two similar sides met in an earlier round, it finished 9-0 to the Conference North side.

It's not only the prize-money at stake for these clubs. Should a non-league club get to the 1st round proper and be landed with a tasty tie, then there's £85k TV money should the match get televised.

Bamber Bridge could pose problems for Brackley tomorrow and the 6/1 looks tasty (with a saver on the draw at 7/2).

I love the early rounds of the FA Cup, always great to see teams like this and how they survive, credit to them, looking forward to watching Margate V Forest Green tomorrow.

They lost 3-1 at home.

They've got a long way before they can be compared with The Rangers. Formed much later and now playing to over 50,000 allegedly.

Thanks for this Sergey. Doubled it up with Hibs HT/FT - just under 5/1 for the double.

Not the FA cup but do I not remember a post, that I cannot find, last week saying that Auchinleck Talbot would not throw it away against Cumbernauld?

MK Dons v Wimbledon would be a smashing draw for the 1st round that I wouldn't be going to!
