will be a nice place to see who we would have got

1-0 defeat in the 90th minute they scored.

2,800 at the shay, 2,400 Halifax fans the place was buzzing.

hope you get leeds at home.

Shame you missed out on the replay

Would be nice

Think only ITV are showing the FA Cup (at least for now) so only 1 live game on the Sunday I suspect so whoever gets Leeds at home is in prime position to be chosen (especially if it is a non league side).

there are so many big teams in league 1 and 2 that you have the chance to get a big pay day,

Is Ilkeston's ground big enough to be able to host a game against leeds if you get them.?

I'd say yes

They segregate the ground half and half so they would give Leeds perhaps 1,500 to 2,000 tickets and the home fans would have perhaps 2,500 tickets (there is an extra seated stand in one corner which holds about 500 or so I guess).

Problem is the Police got jumpy at playing Eastwood and Tamworth so they will brick themselves at playing Leeds.

yeah that might be the problem.

today they told the people that were stood up at the back of the seated stand to move because of health and safety obviously cause there were so many people there, they needed the health and safety as it turns out the people didnt move anyway.

the police might not allow the game to be played because of health and safety because the attendance will be massive.

The FA have tigtened up on sides moving games and if Ilkeston want to aim for the Conference it would not go down well.

Think only Leeds would cause a problem as Notts County would also travel in big numbers but they do not have the reputation Leeds carry with them.

Northwich 3-0 Fc United too in the f.a cup, wanted them to draw Leeds in 1st round proper, ah well!

This is probably going to sound bitter, and it isn't at all, but 3-0 was never a fair scoreline. We had one great chance in the second half and fluffed it. They then got a penalty, which I'd like to see again, and that was their first real chance of the match. One horrendous own goal and a break-away third in stoppage time later and everyone was scratching their heads about how we'd got beaten by such a wide margin. We'd have been p*ssed off with 1-0! Draw would probably have been fair, wasn't the best of games and neither team really looked like scoring for most of the game, but never mind.

The FA Trophy's the big one, anyway.
