It's back! The first of 241 Extra Preliminary Round fixtures take place tonight.
There are five games that stand out for me:-
Penistone Church - Charnock Richard (I just like the names) Congleton Town - AFC Bury (possibly the biggest crowd & the tie of the round) Virginia Water - Brimscombe & Thrupp (the Brimscombe name & picturesque ground do it for me) Oldland Abbotonians - Amersham Town (ex Amersham player & I think they last played in the FA Cup in the 1969/70 season)
The last one being Thetford Town - Ipswich Wanderers (ex secretary of IW & as it is being played at IW I will be in attendance)
I do mainly lose interest in the competition once the qualifying rounds are completed!
I can’t see why games are moved to a Sunday unless they’re being shown live on tv,or there is a fixture clash with another local team.Another nail in the coffin for our greatest cup competition.
