See AFC Wimbledon were bloody close to the one they wanted, right county.  Guess they'll have to wait until the second round.

According to the poll on their website, 90% of Durham fans would like to see the club move up the football pyramid.

Ambitious lot.

I've just looked Histon up on Google Maps.  It seems to be about half the size of Highworth.

Chippenham played a play off game there a few years back and lost, but they took about 9 coaches.

Scum have lost at Histon in the past.

Me too, that's where I was born, lived there for twelve years and my mum ran a play group at the football club so it would have been quite nice to go there.  It's also only 20 minutes from home, not several hours like Durham...

Histon and Impington are villages in Cambridgeshire, England, They are situated just north of Cambridge with the main bulk of the settlements being separated from the city by the A14, although Impington actually lies on both sides of this road.

Over the years the two villages have grown and entwined together, to such an extent that many villagers today do not know where one ends and the other begins.

They contain a combined total of six pubs: The Red Lion, The Barley Mow, The Boot, The Railway Vue, The King William, and the The Rose and Crown. They have a Nursery, Infants', Junior, and Secondary school. The East of England Development Agency is based in Histon and it is the location of the radio station Q103, which covers Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Huntingdon and Royston and is part of GCap Media.

Impington is also the home of Histon Football Club, and their Bridge Road ground, currently members of the Conference National.

Yes. I'm very excited about either going to a village in Cambridgeshire (Where we'll either draw, or lose and be laughing stocks) or the arse end of the country (Where we'll either draw, or lose and be laughing stocks).

let's hope we both get through, then there's another chance of us being drawn together in the second round. do they add league 1 teams in to the pot in the 2nd round?

 I saw the Guillemots earlier this year. Apart from the bass player who needs a good seeing to I wouldn't bother.

Good chance that this may be live on TV. Am I right in saying Setanta have the FA Cup now? Or are they sharing it with the Beeb.

I would have thought the tiny village of Histon against Ex Premiership Swindon would be a fairly appealing first round tie for a TV company?

I think the live games (not sure how many will be shown on Setanta/ITV) but I think it will be from these 8 games.

Sky always used to cover 2 ties and BBC 1 1st round tie but I have no idea how many Setanta are showing.

Hornchurch v Peterborough (moneybags of Posh vs Ryman league oppo)
Leicester v Stevenage/Horsham (ex prem club vs Ryman League)
Hinckley/Curzon v Exeter (Conf N/Unibond vs League 2)
Kettering v Lincoln (Conference leaders doing well vs an average League 2)
Harlow v Macclesfield (Ryman vs League 2 strugglers)
Histon/Durham v Swindon (Conf highfyers/Unibond N vs League 1 "strugglers")
Havant v Brentford (last years surprise cup team vs League 2)
AFC Wimbledon v Wycombe (the REAL Wimbledon vs League 2)

I think that if Durham beat Histon we will be on TV.
And I am sure that AFC Wimbledon will be on TV.

Agree about AFC Wimbledon. If Leicester were away then I think they would be on TV. Posh look certainties as well I would say.
