Thanks
1 in 3 chance of what I'd consider to be a really attractive tie. There are some Premier League teams in there which wouldn't be anywhere near as good as pulling a Derby, Leeds, Aston Villa, Wolves or even arguably Mansfield Town.
We haven't played either Man Utd or Fword in the FA Cup since pre-Meadow Lane days so we're due a tie with one of them. Middlesbrough we've been drawn to play against six times since the war, so we'll probably get them again.
Derby away would be good, they've been at Pride Park 20 years now and it's a little embarrassing that we still haven't had a game there when it's the 3rd nearest league ground.
I enjoyed the draw a lot more when we didn't know any team's number beforehand , just spoils it for me a little.
Only a friendly there in 2007.
Grounds in the divisions above that we haven't yet been to at all are....
