Erm, Mansfield coming into one of the roughest neighbourhoods in the former mining town of Barnsley...
No chance that game will be held the same day as our Birmimgham match. Feels incredibly odd having another Barnsley team in a reyt competition. I'd have preferred it to have been Rec or Bridge though.
The Beeb hardly gave them a mention on their coverage of the draw last night. Didn't even say where they were from!
It's an unbelievable achivement to go from a sunday league team to the 7th tier and FA cup 1st round in 10 years. I honestly cant see them ever making it into the football league though. They would need a stadium of their own and probably one bigger than Sheerian Park, which of course they would never fill because their fan base will never be big enough. If they somehow managed to make it to the 3rd round then the dream tie for them would be against Wednesday and not us, I can sort of see why a lot of folk in Barnsley just arnt arsed.
