Tipton Town's run to reach the First Round proper was really memorable a few years back; unfortunately they got a hammering at Carlisle in the end, but a real achievement for them.  They're away against Blaby and Whetstone Athletic this year.

Somebody on old 606 years ago used to do a thread where he picked a random club in the very first Preliminary Round of the cup and did a profile on them (history, location, venue, team, interesting facts etc), following them through the rounds until they got knocked out, at which point he'd switch to the team which had eliminated them and continue the profiles, and so on through the rounds until the final.  I might do something similar on here for this season's competition.

I've read about journalists doing this but going to the matches and writing about them. I think they call it the Road to Wembley.
