FA Cup Round 1 Draw
DIR By: TA_Ref
Date: October 13, 2025, 1:39 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
It says quite a statement when I didn’t realise the Round 1 draw
was on tonight.
Virtually no coverage of the draw whatsoever. No live text on
BBC sport. No report on BBC sport. I could hardly find it
anywhere.
Disgraceful that the (sort of) start of such a prestigious
competition has got no media publicity.
So for anyone who does care about lower league and non league
football and the history of the FA Cup then here is the draw
1 Weston Super Mare v Aldershot Town
2 Salford City v Lincoln City
3 Luton Town v Worthing or Forest Green Rovers
4 Gainsborough Trinity or Hartlepool United v Accrington Stanley
5 Colchester United v MK Dons
6 Tranmere Rovers v Stockport County
7 Wigan Athletic v Hemel Hempstead Town
8 Newport County v Gillingham
9 Cheltenham Town v Bradford City
10 Barnsley v York City
11 Reading v Carlisle United
12 Bromley v Bristol Rovers
13 Peterborough United v Cardiff City
14 Oldham Athletic v Northampton Town
15 Crewe Alexandra v Doncaster Rovers
16 Tamworth v Leyton Orient
17 Stevenage v Chesterfield
18 Boreham Wood v Crawley Town
19 Farnham Town or Sutton United v AFC Telford United
20 Bolton Wanderers v Huddersfield Town
21 Chelmsford City v Braintree Town
22 Spennymoor Town v Barrow
23 Wycombe Wanderers v Plymouth Argyle
24 FC Halifax Town v Exeter City
25 Slough Town v Altrincham or Harborough Town
26 Wealdstone v Southend United
27 Rotherham United v Swindon Town
28 Grimsby Town v Ebbsfleet United
29 Buxton v Chatham Town
30 Burton Albion v Banbury United or St Albans City
31 Woking or Brackley Town v Notts County
32 Blackpool v Scunthorpe United
33 Cambridge United v Morecambe or Chester
34 AFC Wimbledon v Gateshead
35 Mansfield Town v Harrogate Town
36 Macclesfield v AFC Totton or Truro City
37 South Shields v Shrewsbury Town
38 Fleetwood Town v Barnet
39 Port Vale v Maldon & Tiptree
40 Eastleigh v Walsall

Apparently there's a club called Crewe Alexander taking part
this year!

12.31 on a Monday, Radio 2 / 'Light' channel, tranny earpiece in
place in the dining room at school and hoping the teachers
wouldn't notice, no idea on which ball for which club, the
anticipation of Palace drawing Man Utd or Leeds at home, and the
letdown as they are drawn away to Carlisle. Memories!

And chosen as a live game, which is very pleasing
