Who Will Saints Get In Monday Night's FA Cup Draw
For some reason the draw for the 3rd round of the FA Cup is being done on Monday evening but what would be the best tie for Saints ?
With the draw for the Rd round of the FA Cup taking place at 7pm on Monday evening I would usually be a bit miffed at this however with Saints about to take on Manchester Unexcited an hour later it will make for a good atmosphere in the pubs before the game.
But which team do Saints fans want to come out of the hat alongside ours ?
Most supporters will want us to draw the lowest ranked team at home, this makes sense and that would see us against one of the 8 non league teams left in the hat, only 5 are definitely through at the moment and another three face replays and that includes Aldershot who must travel to Rochdale.
Some Saints fans though would prefer a trip to one of the grounds that they haven't been to yet, that would mean being drawn against the likes of Southport, Gateshead, Dover and some of the League 1 teams like Bury and Accrington Stanley or even Oxford United who we are yet to meet in a competitive game at their newish home since leaving their old ground.
Personally I would like to visit Cambridge United, a ground I have yet to go to mainly due to the fact that Saints have never met Cambridge in any competition in their history.
A good run in the FA Cup would be another feather in our cap and proof that we continue to move forward as a club
