Chester draw away tie
By Chris Thompson December 4 2005
Chester have been drawn against two of their L2 counterparts in the draw for the 3rd round the FA Cup.
Chester have been drawn against two of their L2 counterparts in the draw for the 3rd round the FA Cup. The number 64 ball was drawn just two balls out of a draw with Chelsea, but in the end had to settle with either Oxford United or Cheltenham Town for company in the next round.

Having disaptched non-league outfit Folkestone Invicta in Round 1, and with ease sent Nottingham Forest packing on Saturday, their reward is a tricky January visit visit to Cheltenham's Whaddon Road or Oxford's Kassam Stadium.

Those two drew 1-a-piece on Saturday at Cheltenham, with a replay forecast for Tuesday 13th December (19:45 KO) following what the BBC described as a 'thrilling' game.

The winner of that encounter will entertain Chester on the weekend of January 7/8th.

The draw for the FA Cup third round:

West Bromwich Albion v Reading
Fulham v Leyton Orient
Brighton v Coventry
Wolves v Plymouth
Port Vale or Bristol Rovers v Boston or Doncaster
Sheffield Wednesday v Charlton
Torquay v Birmingham
Manchester City v Scunthorpe
Newcastle United v Mansfield
Luton Town v Liverpool
Preston v Crewe
Stoke v Tamworth
Derby v Burnley
Southampton v MK Dons
Blackburn v QPR
Arsenal v Cardiff
Stockport v Oldham or Brentford
Norwich v West Ham
Ipswich v Portsmouth
Wigan v Leeds
Sunderland v Woking or Northwich Victoria
Chelsea v Huddersfield
Cheltenham Town or Oxford United v Chester City
Leicester v Tottenham
Watford v Bolton
Sheffield United v Colchester United
Nuneaton Borough or Histon v Middlesbrough
Hull City v Aston Villa
Barnsley or Bradford v Walsall
Burton Albion or Burscough v Manchester United
Crystal Palace v Stevenage Borough or Northampton Town
Millwall v Everton

  • The ties will be played on the weekend of 7/8 January 2006.
