Away to Shrewsbury Town will do for me

Home to lower league opposition would be good

I wouldn’t mind Bristol Rovers. We have friends down there and it would be good for them to get to see what I see every week.

Erm Joey would see to it that our finest will be kicked to shit from KO.

I was just watching 2nd round highlights. The presenter said "Kidderminster can dream of playing one of the big teams - Manchester City, Liverpool or Chelsea."

Got in laws in Devizes near Swindon who are Swindon fans, should be interesting

Of course many of us remember days when that draw would've meant apprehension and probably exit

In fact most draws......

I did shudder when Bear mentioned Shrewsbury, my mind immediately cast back 30 odd years!

Or just when we were starting go places, losing to Sheffield helped on by balloons brought along by our own fans

Halifax, Cardiff.......

The one away under Hughes we lost on pens hurt. Was it Brighton who were a league or two lower then?

No Carl....we had some disasters but can't think of one where Hereford were our executioners.
They did famously beat Leeds in the FA Cup.
The Hereford crowd's celebrations are often show on TV around FA Cup time.
Almost every kid who invaded the pitch was wearing a snorkel jacket.

It was Newcastle they beat in that FA Cup tie.
Mind you, my memory's just as bad, I could have sworn it was Arsenal.
