With a number of Essex teams through to the 1st round - Braintree Town, Chelmsford City, Maldon & Tiptree as well as S**th**d - could there be some potential local derbies in the FA cup 1st round this season?
Probably not but it'll be interesting to see what happens in the draw.

Bolton away is the game I'm hoping for. I need to tick the ground off and we're owed after our only visit was during Covid.
York away would be my second choice, otherwise I'd take an Essex derby. |  | | |

I just hope it’s a league team.
Bolton is well into my top 10 of favorite grounds. We all like different things, but if architecture is your thing, then Bolton is a sure winner, especially when it’s lit up at night. Acres and acres of parking around the ground, which is great (until you want to leave).
Just don't put Bolton in your SatNav, because the ground is halfway between Bolton and Wigan. [Post edited 12 Oct 9:38]

Never been in, but driven past it a couple of times - looks impressive. That would be a good day out for a cup game, or failing that away at a reasonably local non-league side would do me. Not 'that' non-league side though, broadcasting rights would almost certainly get hold of it and switch kick-off to some massively inconvenient time slot. |  |

I wonder how our former player Cole Skuse is getting on as Bury Town manager? | |

That's a spicy one, might make the TV? (if there's anyone outside of Essex who knows it's a local derby?) | |

Harrop, the Chelmsford manager, took Braintree to the National League and wasn't best pleased when he was dismissed last season which adds an extra bit of spice. I believe John White, also ex-Braintree, is part of the management team at Chelmsford too. | |

We had a great set of results against the Franchise last season.
Can't ask for more than a home match in Round One.
Could even be televised.

Admire your optimism Durham, but I thinks it's unlikely. Two League 2 sides against each other is a bit 'meh' I reckon, as is most of the draw if I'm honest. Luton (recent PL side) vs Worthing or FGR might be the story the cameras are looking for? Port Vale vs the Jammers has a bit of a David and Goliath feel to it, as does Eastleigh vs Walsall perhaps? The Trotters vs the Terriers has two massive names against each other, but I still think Chelmsford vs Braintree is one of the more attractive games from a TV perspective, local derby and it guarantees a non-league side make the 2nd round.
We'll know soon enough I suppose. | |
