Basingstoke Town v AFC Telford United
The FA Cup 1st round
Saturday November 8th - 3:00 ko
at The Camrose

And so after heartbreak for Spennymoor, who almost toppled a team from four leagues above them, the FA Cup trail takes AFC Telford down to Hampshire to take on Conference South team, Basingstoke Town.
The match will take place at what is now known as the Soccer AM Stadium, but it's real name of The Camrose reflects the name of the club's late benefactor, Lord Camrose. The ground has a capacity of 6,000 and the record attendance was at this stage of the competition in 1997 when over 5,000 turned out to watch them take on Wycombe Wanderers.
Basingstoke have Premier league experience in their squad with ex Reading midfielder James Harper. He hasn't made his debut yet, having signed last month after being released by Barnet in the summer.
They also have a famous name in Louie Soares in the squad. No not cannibal boy, this one is the Barbados international midfielder who made his name with Aldershot.

Although Telford are a league above Basingstoke, in terms of numbers in the pyramid, they are only one place above. Telford are currently bottom of the Conference Premier, whereas Basingstoke are top of the Conference South. So that could make them slight favourites to knock out the premier league team.

The draw for the second round is once again being shown live on BBC2 on Monday evening at 7:00.

Basingstoke Town squad: Kieran Green, Stuart Moore, Tom Bird, Jay Gasson, David Ray, Robert Rice, Nathan Smart, Jamie Brown, Simon Dunn, George Hallahan, James Harper, Andrew Jenkinson, Shaun McAuley, Louie Soares, Sam Argent, Liam Enver-Marum, Chris Flood, Lloyd Macklin, Manny Williams.

AFC Telford squad: Jonathan Hedge, Neill Byrne, Steve Akrigg, Michael Grogan, Charlie Barnett, Adam Farrell, Tony Gray, Sean Clancy, Sean Cooke, Andy Pryce, Rod McDonald, Kristian Platt, Sam Smith, Jordan Deacey, Godfrey Poku, Andy Todd, Ryan Higgins, Andy Parry, Freddy Hall, Rhys Oates, Josh Hancock.

[St Charles Owl]

Not a bad result for the lower league team but I am sure they really wanted the home advantage to work for them!!!

[Lord Snooty]

Ouch! A trip to Bristol City for the winners of the replay.

Bristol City won't want a cup run because they want to get promotion back into the Championship so the league will be a priority for them.

Maybe Spirite, but like any team involved at the moment, they'll want to get to the 3rd Round as a minimum and hopefully pull in a big fish to top up the coffers. They are redeveloping the ground, rich owner pumping most of the brass in I know, so any extra cash always makes the accountants happy.

AFC Telford United v Basingstoke Town
The FA Cup 1st round replay
Tuesday November 18th - 7:45 ko
at New Bucks Head

The story of Brighouse to Wembley so far:

1st Qualifying round: Brighouse Town 1-2 Ashton Utd
2nd Qualifying round: Ashton United 1 Salford City 1
2nd Qualifying round replay: Salford City 0-1 Ashton United
3rd Qualifying round: Spennymoor Town 1-0 Ashton United
4th Qualifying round: Spennymoor Town 2-2 AFC Telford United
4th Qualifying round replay: AFC Telford United 3-0 Spennymoor Town
1st round: Basingstoke Town 1-1 AFC Telford United

Telford are without Sean Clancy for the replay. He has been ruled out with injury for the next couple of months. And Mike Grogan is also unlikely to be fit.
Basingstoke have new signing, former Bournemouth youngster Ryan Case in theirs after he signed from Braintree Town.

Both these aides lost at the weekend. Basingstoke lost at home to St Albans City, whereas Telford continued to struggle at the foot of the Vanarama Conference with a 3-1 defeat at Barnet.

The prize for the winners is a trip to League One leaders Bristol City in the next round.
