Blyth Spartans .....Off to Geordie land again. Pity it wasn't Shildon.

[distancetraveller]

Get through this then were only one game from the bigboys .  Has LVG been to Alty yet

[markecky]

Take out the passionate Geordie factor and I think it's a decent draw if we had to be away as FA rules state.

As with Barwell, could have been a lot worse.

[Ballers]

When only 4 balls were left Blyth were the middle option. FGR home or away would've been dire. Needless to say it was the club backed by a millionaire who got the league club at home.

But it's not bad, if you're not getting a plum tie then there were far worse ones than that I guess. A lower ranked side, have to be on our bloody mettle though, big style.

Could be better but when we were down to the last 4 balls and it was either FGR, Scunny or Blyth I know who I was praying for

[PukkaPieman]

8 consecutive away draws,  whats the record?

[Beaver]

Winnable

Not exactly sexy though is it!

Big fan of this! Always love a trip up to Newcastle.

Probable weekender, not the best tie but by no means the worst.  Lower ranked so I'm happy.

Credit to the BBC for that little show, really built it up and I was actually nervous before it started!  

Could see our ball at the front and it was quite enjoyable shouting " no, God no.." as balls came out.

Home game for Duncan Whatmore!!!

It just occurred to me that with the first round all being about the romance of the FA cup, the TV people might really fancy Blyth vs Alty probabaly the best combined FA cup pedigree on show, and why not  ££££££££  ?

very much doubt it will be selected for TV, need a league team for TV

Would have been a great TV tie in about 1979....

I know what you mean....I was still shouting NO very loudly after we were drawn out. The wife had to leave the room (already annoyed with me that my fiftieth birthday celebration holiday over to the UK was dependent upon an FA Cup draw).
