Well, it's a lovely part of the world - but the idea of going to one of my boyhood haunts for a January weekend is best kept on the back burner for the next week or more ...

Just Inter (bred) Macclesfield stand in the way...

As I have said on here before, the FA is a dysfunctional organisation.

In the mid 1990s I was doing some tax work for Oxford City FC, and they reached the FA Vase Semi Final. Between first and second leg they signed a new player and faxed (fortunately) the FA to ask if he was eligible for the second leg, and received a faxed reply saying "yes". As we know from the Clayton McDonald situation re: Blyth, this is rubbish - as he had not been signed before the original date of the tie (not the match) he was ineligible. OCFC won, and opponents Belper appealed, calling a full FA hearing, at which the O.C.F.C. secretary took great delight in producing the FA's fax, and Belper's appeal was dismissed. Awful but not surprising to see that 21 years later the FA are still totally crap at applying their own rules, let alone asking Nantwich to play a home game v Lincoln at 4 days' notice. They are not fit to run anything, let alone a number of national cup competitions.

If we do make it to Sudbury in January, it would constitute Alty's first competitive fixture in Suffolk.

Only Norfolk and Cornwall to go then - if the above scenario unfolds...

Blame the Kents at the FA who made the draw. Norfolking use to anyone.
