A decent draw. Hopefully progression into the next round.

That's nowt. We play international games at Moss Lane too!

Nearly 70 years ago it was the Nigerian Bare Footed Touring Team.
This year it will be Wrexham! 😉

Decent surface. No crowd. What's not to like?

Biggest issue as far as I can see is whether football will still be happening by then. The way the numbers are ramping up there's bound to be more players catching it soon.

I assume we've never played them before...?

That's correct.

We Havant played them before.

Perfect for our slick passing carpet football!

Would've been a marvellous away day for this SW London based fan, some belting pubs in Havant and Emsworth. Oh well.

You’d assume they will be thereabouts in the Conference South this year, plenty of names & experience from the Southern Conference teams & L2 outfits. Outside of our league playing these lot away just about one of the toughest we could have got. Still I’d expect us to go there and win, assume another overnight stay will help in that regard.

This would have been a great game for me in the nineties (or in the eighties when I lived on the south coast myself), as my uncle lived in Havant, and I used to stay over when we played Farnborough Town. In fact, his house was adjacent to their former ground at Front Lawn - they might have been Havant Town then, prior to their merger with Waterlooville - and I have seen a Sunday league game there, after they had moved out, when I stayed for a weekend and my uncle and auntie probably wanted me out of the house. Sadly, they had both died by 2001.

 I have never been inside the current ground, which they have been able to develop as it's further away from any houses, although I have seen it from outside. However we have had a meeting, sort of, with Havant and Waterlooville before, as some of us took part in a quiz competition organised by Tony Williams of Team Talk magazine and the Non-League Directory in which we were drawn against them in 2004. Unfortunately, they beat us as I couldn't remember Nuneaton Borough's colours, and a ringer in our team thought that Moss Lane was the home ground of Macclesfield Town!  :(

We obviously can't attend as Havant's in  tier 4 (somebody had told me Waterlooville is in tier 2, which would be funny, but, apparently is incorrect), but this must be one of the ties of the round with both clubs in good form. Boston United v Chesterfield looks interesting too, although I have to wonder how seriously Chesterfield will take it.

Could we suggest it’s played at home?

That’s not how it works. All our fa cup/ trophy games are played away, even on the rare occasions we are actually drawn at home!

Yep. Waterlooville is within Havant Borough which is in Tier 4. Just up the road from me. Would have been a great draw for me at any other time.
