45% to each club and 10% in the FA Cup pot for prize money, FA expenses etc.

In that case... I don't think we have the squad to sustain a cup run and try for the playoffs, so I'd like Man Utd away

We'll probably end up with something like Boro away or something though..

Kiddiminster Harriers or Halifax. Or Boreham Wood or St Albans at home. Forget a big tie.

Expecting Bournemouth away

Would like to get teams lower down so we have a better chance of progression and prize money but part of me wouldn't mind a game against Spurs as we lost George and John this year.

I remember Everton away in the FA Cup around about 1996. It was my first experience of a really big away following... i think we took 8000, i remember the sight of all the Harry Shaw coaches in a massive convoy going through Birmingham on the M6.

Obviously the game was a complete let-down! Mcallister scored a great free-kick at the end to give us some faint hope, but to no avail.

One of the lowest ranked teams.

Give a few players a much needed rest (O’Hare, Fadz etc), give a few fringe players a runout (Jones, Eccles) and (hopefully!) still make it into the hat for the next round.
Always a risky move if we want to get through to the next round. Look at the Carabao Cup at home to Northampton.

That rarely works. We'd be knocked out, even to Bore Them Woods FC!
