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! [Post edited 2 Aug 17:00]

I presume that because the FA Cup is special, as we are told by the TV commentators, the TV channels will fully air every match, despite Manure not being in these early rounds. |  |

I would go to the IW game if I wasn’t going to the Brighton game instead.
I see that QPR U21’s have a friendly at Waltham Abbey on Tuesday night.I lived in Waltham Abbey for 8 years and I wish we’d played at Capershots then.I might still pop along and visit a few old pubs that I used to drink in. |  | | |

Vauxhall Motors have taken Eccleshill Utd to a replay, thoughts with the Eccleshill fans. We can all relate. |  |

Largest crowd on Day 1 of the FA Cup was 845 to see Corby Town and AFC Rushden & Diamonds battle out a 1-1 draw. Rushden won the replay on penalties in front of another bumper crowd of 714.
Most modest gate was the 41 souls who turned up to see Lutterworth Town vanquish Studley in a 5-goal thriller.
Some big names exited at the first hurdle. Racing Club Warwick, Sporting Club Inkberrow, Kirkby Miners Welfare, Shefford Town & Campton, Brimscombe & Thrupp, Bugbrooke St. Michaels, Godmanchester Rovers, and Malmesbury Victoria. All big names. All out.
The big big news however is the mechanics of misery, Vauxhall Motors, are out. Congrats to Eccleshill United of the Northern Counties East League Premier Division. | | | |

My daughter’s team are in the 2nd qualifying round of the Women’s FA cup on September 22nd.If they get through to the 1st round proper they might get to play QPR women’s team.
Who do I cheer for if it happens? [Post edited 12 Aug 19:20]

That would be Melchester Rovers, alongside Blackie Gray with Tubby Morton in goal!
I always thought that they were based on Manchester United & I wanted them to lose every game, but I'm still waiting!
Back to the FA Cup & I see that Amersham have a nice local derby in the next round, at home to Clevedon. I missed the part of my geography lesson that placed the Chilterns in the west country! | | | |

Melchester Rovers opponents also drew their origins from real football teams. There was Everpool, Blackton Wanderers, Tynecastle United, Arseham, and Chelshit. [Post edited 15 Aug 10:26]
