It's not the draw any Robins fans would have wanted as Cheltenham have drawn Division 3 leaders Hull City at home in the first round of the FA Cup. It really was a poor day for the Robins who suffered a 4-0 away drubbing at Mansfield Town but atleast we are at home and are guarenteed £10,000 for the game. Also with Hull being the leaders in Division 3 there is a chance the match may make it either onto Sky or the BBC as a live game although this would seem unlikely. Other tie's that caught the eye were as follows:

Blackpool v Boreham Wood
Lancaster City v Cambridge United
Thurrock v Luton
Accrington Stanley v Huddersfield
Sheffield Wednesday v Salisbury City
Bradford Park Avenue v Bristol City
Swansea v Rushden & Diamonds

Ties will be played from the 8th to the 9th of Novemeber, ticket arrangements have yet to be announced by Cheltenham but I for one hope it will be reduced admission on normal match day prices.
