It would be one of those magical FA cup stories if we had a bit of a run this year NL Notts County draw Man City away in the third round generate lots of income from gate receipts,tv money and selling all those half and half scarves

Even better if we do em 1-0 and draw liverpool in the 4th

Must admit I was thinking this myself as I wrote it but restrained myself from getting carried away! However, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility for us to target a 3rd round tie, the prize money alone for achieving this if we lose at that stage would be £108,750.00 let alone the additional gate money etc.

Let’s keep the dream alive

Its got all the ingredients of a magical FA cup story hasnt it.

There was some talk that we might get a bye into the First Round Proper to make up the numbers following Bury's expulsion. I still love the FA Cup in the early rounds, because it actually means something to the clubs involved.

Yes there was something about that but I couldn’t find anything online that suggested that. All I know is we have no league fixture on 19th October.

I had lost a bit of interest in the FA Cup but being at this level has made me more inquisitive about what non league clubs and how the FA Cup plays a part in their season.

I will keep the thread updated with results and Cup draws as they happen … until Notts are knocked out then it can do one!

I can just see the bbc report as we head into a big draw for the 3rd round,they'll send alex scott out to denmark to meet the owners and she'll tell our story

'6 months ago Notts county were heading out of the football league,they had 40 players who couldn't kick a ball and an owner who flashed his privates at the world on social media and the club were heading towards liquidation, but enter the Reedtz brothers and their website Football Radar, they reinvigourated the club which now sits proudly at the top of the NL and using their groundbreaking statistical model manager Neal Ardley has been furnished with a squad of talented players and Enzio Bouldewijn, they now take on Manchester City and stand to make in excess of two million pounds that will fund their promotion bid in L2 next season'

I think you mean it represents the number of teams awarded the payment at that stage. For example 44 teams from the top two tiers join the competition at the third round.

Sorry yes that is correct, thanks for pointing that out.
