Really hope it's Southport. I miss our games against them!

Happy with that. Anything at home is a decent draw.

We have never played Vauxhall Motors in the Trophy before

We have been drawn against Southport 3 times in the past:

1997-98 Lost 2-0 at home (if I remember correctly they were in the conference and we were in the Unibond)

1999-00 Drew 0-0 away and then 1-1 at home before losing 4-3 on penalties

2003-04 Won 1-0 at Moss Lane with Peter Band scoring in front of 711 spectators.

Now Southport and the FA Cup - that's another matter...

I'd have fancied us against anyone at home, so that's a decent draw. We get past a couple of hurdles in this thing and I'm going to start getting uber excited. "Four times to Wembley" doesn't really work though...

We'll have to change it to ....

"We've WON once, twice, three times at Wembleys!"

Bravo Sir, problem solved! (If we win the FA Trophy that is)  ;D

Not a bad draw that.
