Iโm looking at Blackpool guest houses, debating whether I want to be near the tower or the pleasure beach. The dream last night was Blackpool away. Many happy memories of the place and hopefully add to them.

Many happy memories of the place and hopefully add to them. I must admit I had forgotten about Blackpool, that would be a great day/weekend, a real battle of the piers

Without cursing things, the chances of a 'good' draw seem higher than a less desirable one. A beatable side would be great, a league side would be fun, a local derby great for the coffers...
Please not Ebbsfleet (who have just signed Jordan Ibe!!!), or a Connie South team (just from an excitement perspective).
Excited for 2.30pm, and the next adventure!

Alfreton Town away... beat Macclesfield last round, finished in a similar spot to us in NLN last season, potentially a winable tie!!

Alfreton Town Away... somewhat underwhelmed not least because Horsham, Solihull, Cray Valley PM got some stonking draws ๐
They're National League North, (currently 10th) and Alfreton is situated between Nottingham and Sheffield.

All we need now is a train strike and that will really put the mockers on it.

I bet Kenty is happy though ๐ But your right, its neither a 'big trip day in the sun hurrah' or a safe home banker. I guess the only way we can flip this round into being a great draw... is to go and win the damned thing ๐

They average 663 at home so we should be ok for tickets though

Winnable for ยฃ and 2nd round. It's that, but only if managed correctly. Our record on our longest trips last season wasn't great. Now this may sound extravagant but with ยฃ41,000 at stake on this winner takes all game... would it be worth investing in an overnight stay?

Just off the M1, not a pretty place youโd want to stay longer than necessary to be honest, though Peak District is close by if going to make a weekend of it.

Like I expect a lot of people have done, I just searched for Alfreton Town FC and saw that their comment on Twitter is "First time we've played a team from Sussex" - sounds like the sort of thing I would have said... Which reminds me...first time we've played a club from Derbyshire...

Letโs be honest itโs a rubbish draw for us and them!
The only good thing about the draw will be if we go and win it, if not it will go down in history as crappy first round draw.
