A decent bit of delving there saltcellar, that wrought iron turnstile looks like it must be a collectors piece. Not sure of the social toilet arrangement but when in Rome!!!

Noticed Taunton Town have a match at home on the Tuesday before our game against similarly placed Slimbridge.

BBC and BT announce their televised fixtures and it's not us! But we could still be one of the eight on a Sunday covered in their final score programme!

It wont be their usual prices, the minimum adult price for the 1st Round Proper onwards is £10.

And that was last season, it could be more now.

Eastleigh again, there is a shock.

Mark, my eyes aren't as good as they once were and am unable to see which games BT is broadcasting. Not currently on its website either. What games are they, please?

Many thanks for that rapid response (which I am able to see!). Still no further forward though if we can be forced into the Sunday programme. Grrr.

Maybe if we give our gate receipts to Taunton Town we will get tv coverage also!

Probably fair picks, though Borehamwood v Notts County, Maidstone v Rochdale and St Albans v Carlisle probably could all have been chosen. Is anyone outside of a small part of West Lancashire actually gonna watch that Monday night match?!?

It is just the lazy option though Mark. If Salford had qualified I fully expected them to have been picked.
Same sides year after year. Hardly spreads the wealth either does it?

They were always going to pick a league side against a non-league side. Totally logical choices.

I doubt the BBC would have shown Barrow v Swindon if that's who we had drawn in the 1st round.
To my knowledge we've never had a live FA cup game shown on terrestrial television and we've played lots of league teams as a non league football club. The best we've had is extended highlights.

Taunton museum would be worth a visit if time, has a good military section and one on the Monmouth rebellion.

No shock here, not worth moving to Sunday.
