usually last Saturday or Monday in October. 3rd qualifying round is this Saturday, there's another one after that.
Yes it is. Last year the draw was on the day we were at Bournemouth - 30th October and I think the game a week later than this year. So the draw would have to be weekend of 23 October if we are to play on 5 Nov.
Everything is being brought forward this year Due to the world cup in 2006, allowing the players more time for a reest. Might be a waste of time like, depending on the results next week.
