...... for the 3rd Qualifying Round will be made this coming Monday with a total of 80 clubs involved. The competition consists of four qualifying rounds, four rounds proper and a two-legged semi-final with the final taking place at Wembley with the FA Vase final also being featured on the same day as a double bill affair.
Teams from the National League's North and South enter at the 3rd Qualifying Round stage while the National League sides join the competition two rounds later in the 1st round proper. The competition is regionalised up until the 1st round proper in order to reduce team's travel costs and expenses - presumably in the event of long distance replays etc.
In effect we'll end up facing any of the other 21 teams from our division along with 18 other winners from the 2nd Qualifying round who are deemed to be in 'our' area from the following results ...........
