At least there's no fear of losing to a non league side this season.

Well, that's me and the missus Christmas shopping on second round day then.

Good thing is though, when Me 'n' 'Er go Christmas shopping, it tends to be pub-shop-pub-shop pub.....

Tranmere? The FA Cup curse continues but at least we won't be embarrassed by a non-league outfit this year.

Don't worry our magnificent home form will see us through. Oh, I see your point.

Why not? In 1997 if I am not wrong we played Bury in first round and they were the highest placed team we could play were they not? Please correct me if I'm wrong

Bury were top of the basement and Mark Williams scored the winner iirc.

I believe Bolton were champs of the championship (or whatever it was called then) aswell.

At least we won't have the added embarrassment of losing to a team, lower than ourselves.

I think based on current form, we don't stand a chance and Tranmere are going well! However, if we play how we did at the beginning of the season, I honestly don't see why we can't win it.

How bad a draw do Tranmere think it is?

I home draw means another match to watch. A "better" team means that we might see a game where our footballing skills can flourish rather than looking impotent against a ten man defence.

Playing a team from "a higher level" nothing to lose, everything to gain, so whats the problem? Better than having the cup jitters against a non-league outfit.
