Worksop it is then! We had a decent record against Town last season, running out 3-0 winners at their place and 2-0 winners at home. Michael Powell scored both goals at the Deva but there's every possibility Powell could have left us by the time this fixture comes around.

It would be interesting if Fylde get through against Nantwich, you guys have already played Solihull once this season havent you?

Standard heap of sh*t draw for us, at least Worksop will get a nice pay day. Rushall should consider themselves to have a great chance, Droylsden are awful, push right on, they cannot defend.

I'd agree, a few have got lucky.

I'm hurt, goose.

We've had some great games in the past, and on our Forum you were our favourite choice of opposition for this one (albeit at your place).

Anyway, you'll get the usual Nethermoor welcome and with our recently-improved crowds a few bob as well with luck, especially as you'll probably turn us over.

It's no good, I'm going to have to lie down for a bit. :cry:

I once drove from Edinburgh to Guiseley to watch Whitby play there. Had some decent games there in the past, gonna be a struggle getting past them this time though.

Raven, I've missed your humour, mate, but I'd rather have a game we've a chance of winning.

Have you got Walshaw back there and if so, what are the odds of us conceding a penalty?

Pleased with that draw, by all accounts Droylsden give us an opportunity to progress, but at the same token they will feel they can dispose of us. We shall see, i'll make the trip.

Good luck to all NPL sides!!

While agreeing we're probably favourites, I certainly don't think you've got no chance; we've huffed and puffed against Bamber Bridge and Buxton this term, and last season went out of the FA Cup at Ashington.

Yes, Wally's back, and still proving the itching powder in defenders' jockstraps to great effect. However, he's now part of a pool of strikers (with Wilson, Brooksby, Holsgrove and Danny Boshell's kid brother Nicky) and it's rare that Steve Kittrick keeps any of them on for ninety minutes.

We've been awarded four pens this season and scored (directly or indirectly) from them all, but Wally hasn't netted or won any of them. In fact I'm pretty sure he's never been on the field at the time.

Cue 1-0 home win, Walshaw (dodgy pen), 89 minutes. :oops:

Hahaha. Please feel free to shout as much abuse at Steve Kittrick as you possibly can. The man is a tool.

But without him our friends from below the Heavy Woollen Triangle would have to continue abusing themselves.
