Dorking play in the Sussex County League, same as Littlehampton. According to Wiki, ground capacity is 500, could be interesting lol. Distance 44 miles. pieandmushypeas.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/dorking-wanderers-fc.htmlLooks rustic to say the least. Biggleswade are in the Premier Division of the Southern League, currently 15th, based in Bedfordshire, would imagine they would win the replay after 2-2 draw Saturday at Dorking. Distance 88 miles. |

Obviously you have to take every team seriously in the FA Cup but the draw has definitely been kind to us when you look at some of the teams we could have drawn.

If that's true, surely if it was Dorking we played the tie would get switched to the Gallagher? |

Biggleswade are in the Premier Division of the Southern League, currently 15th, based in Bedfordshire, would imagine they would win the replay after 2-2 draw Saturday at Dorking. Distance 88 miles. As it happens I went to this game on Saturday. I suspect Biggleswade will now win the replay, but they were dreadful in the first match and rather lucky to get a second chance. They're step 3 (Southern Premier) but on this evidence I reckon they'd be relegation fodder in our division. Dorking started like a train and were 2-0 up inside ten minutes. Biggleswade pulled one back after around 20 minutes despite a clear foul in the build up when a defender in possession just outside the box was pushed off the ball. A very lenient referee soon began to lose control as the number of niggly challenges increased. Biggleswade huffed and puffed and looked a bit clueless while Dorking played the more attractive passing football and always looked capable of snatching another goal on the break; indeed they had the chances to be out of sight before Biggleswade equalised with an absolute worldy five minutes from time - one of their substitutes ran through the middle fro the centre circle and cracked an unstoppable drive into the top corner from 25-30 yards out. Dorking's ground is a pleasant modern development but very basic. There are two low seated stands along one side and nothing else. The opposite side is closed to spectators and the whole place is bordered by other playing fields on two sides, a vineyard behind one end, and the railway line behind the stands, while Box Hill offers a scenic backdrop. It's just over ten minutes' stroll from Dorking and Deepdene stations. The attendance was around 200 and the only "bar" facility was cans of Foster's, Stella, and Carling from the tea bar! |

Aha! A ground to be avoided then! I shall achieve that whatever the result of the replay, as I'll be en route to Majjawkah, so I won't be gan.

As others have said, without being disrespectful it sounds like weve got one of the easier draws taking into account who we could if drawn
But still need to up our game 100% on saturdays showing
We would be dissapointed not to be in the 4th q round i suspect !
Now for Witham tomorrow !

Biggles FC are the same level as us ,its away so it wont be easy,that said we avoided the Conference South high flyers,so this draw is an excellent way of progression,lets hope for a win and another favorable draw to the First round Proper and the possibility of TV cameras and the glamour of a league club.

Accrington, Bury or Hartlepool away??? Ah, the glamour, the glamour........  Compared to the recent 20 years draws we have had those you quote are GLAMOROUS...You pick the worst case scenario ,id rather think of Portsmouth,Luton or Oxford all clubs that i can remember winning finals at Wembley. I loved our 80s draws four times we made the 3rd proper ,and i seem to recall three times the 2nd round,and the first at least once. Whats wrong with Hartlepool anyway they hang french spies!! so be warned. Yes Sheffield United and Watford were very glam ,we also had to visit a right hovel called Preistfield But first off its Biggles and Wade from bed- ford- shire , see that's sounds more Glamorous. |

It doesn't matter who we draw. We will defeat them and win the cup. If we don't win or - God forbid - don't even get to Wembley then Jay must walk
