Looks like the final will still be at Wembley as the deal to buy it has fallen through.. Maybe it's Nottm County's year Chalky mate ?
This year's FA Cup draw is being made live on BBC 2 at 7pm this Monday,who would you like given the choice,anybody but non league for me

Of all the options available I would probably go for Alfreton away despite the banana skin potential. I couldn't help but notice that Dunston UTS, the lowest ranked team left in the competition got their dream draw at home to Gateshead, who play less than 4 miles away. The game has been selected for broadcast on BBC media platforms, which will give a fantastic boost to Dunston's finances. This is what the romance of the FA Cup is all about, because these days it means far more to lower league clubs than it does the big boys in the Premiership who seem to see it as an irritation.
My team is in the Premiership at the moment,maybe not at the end of the season,but I would love to see them go on an F.A. cup run ,but it never seems to happen.. To my disgust,The management just seem to play with the squad players and not the first teamers . They don't give a toss what the fans want..The FA cup has lost its way some years ago now Elite..
Burnley have done well to stay in the Premier League for as long as they have Alf,the £100 million that they will get for getting relegated will sweeten the taste no doubt
Assuming we will be comfortably lower-mid table by December and not likely to trouble the top 7 this campaign, the FA Cup takes on more importance. Let's have no repeat of an 8-1 thrashing though, thanks.
I hope we get Jamie Fullarton's Halifax, that'll be a laugh. They are still in it, yes?
The parachute payments for coming out of the PL is far greater than £1m,Alfs right about the £75m but with the tv rights and various other add ons it's around £100million
I've got no problem with clubs like Burnley getting their chance to dip their toes in the big pool but it's clubs like the top six that gorge themselves on the money they no can't stand
