I have decided I want Gateshead or Blyth to draw Bury...Bury are one of my soft spot clubs, I shit you not
I know the Bury Assistant Managers dad and I always like to take the piss about thisWould be nice to see Chris back up home for a change...
As for other ties
Would like to see North East Teams play each other, Hartlepool, Spennymoor, Shildon, Carlisle and York...
Shildon should go through, Spenny have an uphill task, but the Cup can be full of surprises, surely Spenny or Shildon will be a good bet for TV if they make it through with a glamour in the 1st Round...
Spennys task is similar to Durham 6 years ago, same level as Spenny now, played Histon from the Conference, got a very good draw at The Hetton Centre, got beat 5-2 at Histon and Histon went on to play Swindon, Leeds and Swansea in the Competition Proper.
