Away to Chesterfield. Not the most inspiring of draws, but could have been worse I suppose.

yeah could have been better could have been worse. Looking forward to going to the match their ground is like a trip back in time! A good old traditional football ground. Hopefully we can repeat last years result, although I think they will be better this time, despite been a division below us.

Might prove tricky if we underrate them. They are having a decent season in division two and going to their ground, like roverstillidie says, is like a trip back in time, and this is the FA Cup!

I'd really like a decent run in the cup this year, so I'm hoping the lads will put in a good performance.

Our previous results have been good against Chesterfield. Last season we took all 6 points with two 2-0 wins.

Not the best draw. Of course you'd hope for a home tie or a non league away tie with the chance of getting on the tele. Having said that we have a good record there and as long as we are professional I expect to be in round two.

A toughie. I don't hold out much hope that this will see an end to our recent Cup failings and we do need the money.

Power!
Based on the fact that we do indeed need the cash, added to the fact that we are playing really well away from home lately, I'd say the lads will be up for this one!

Chesterfield, who I'm sure need it more than we do will certainly not lie down and die, but I think we can get through this one.
