(25 Oct 2014, 4:51 pm)Andreos1 wrote Blyth and Gateshead through to First Round proper. Sounds like the Blyth game was a cracker - with Leek passing up the chance to make it 4-4 in the 97th min, by missing a penalty.
Spennymoor and Shildon drew, with replays away at Telford and home to Norton respectively.
I fancy Shildon's chances, but feel Spenny have a tall order getting through.
Hopefully they both progress.
What do you want in the 1st Round, a fairly sized league team like Coventry or Portsmouth or a more local game against someone like Hartlepool, York, Carlisle or Spenny/Shildon should they make it...
I agree with your opinion about Spennymoor, on paper AFC Telford should win, but we all know paper and form means nothing in the Cup...
