v Chichester City

Another green team
 
Fantastic get it switched to the sunday afternoon, Great to get a home game.
See you all tomorrow
 
Seems a good draw. However would a draw be as good as a defeat for us? Surely the likelihood of us raising a team to take down there on a Tuesday would be very unlikely. Irrelevant really as it won't come to that
 
We not only don't want a draw, We can't afford more unnecessary postponements! 14 games in hand on Burcough and Widnes - or to put it another way an extra 14 games our team have to play in the next 16 weeks.
Hopefully it is a good match for us and we prgoress to the last 8. 4 games to Wembley as I believe the semis are two legged!
 
Interesting draw - the 4 most northerly teams left all got home draws (assuming Brayson and friends beat Coleshill).
The fifth round draw
1 Wolverhampton SC v Leighton Town
2 Thatcham Town v Bromsgrove Sporting
3 Marske United or Hinckley v Newport (IoW) or Bradford Town
4 Newcastle Benfield or Coleshill v Blackfield & Langley or Bracknell Town
5 1874 Northwich v Chichester City
6 Stockton Town v Stourport Swifts
7 Windsor v Hamble Club
8 Melksham Town v Tring Athletic
 
Couldn't really ask for a much better home draw really, been doing a bit of scouting on them and they look a very decent side going forward but shaky defensively, need to get it won in 90 mins as a replay wouldn't be helpful to us at all (even if it is the following weekend and not a Tuesday night)
 
Winsford have no game that weekend & Witton are away.
 
I bet Newport are really chuffed at the prospect of Marske away.

(Choose whichever meaning of chuffed you prefer ;) )
 
Certainly think WP should be a consideration. IF the BS pitch was to fall foul of the weather, we’d have to reschedule for the following Saturday, consequently losing the chance to play yet another league game. Much better odds that the Albion pitch would be fit to play on?
