A total of 732 clubs will take part in the Emirates FA Cup during the 2023-24 season, with the list of clubs accepted into the competition now being revealed. 

Among the list are Harleston Town, Heacham and Okehampton Argyle who are among those entering the FA Cup for the first time.

And there's also a spot for Bury FC, previous FA Cup winners in 1900 and 1903. They return to the competition following their merger with Bury AFC, who were formed following Bury's removal from the EFL in 2020 and being placed in administration later that year.

As the FA Cup applications were oversubscribed, it has not been possible to accommodate all clubs that submitted an application to enter. The maximum number of clubs that can be accepted to participate in the competition in its current format shall be 732.

And having reviewed all applications, seven places were available in the FA Cup for clubs at Step 6 of the FA National League System. These places have been awarded to the seven highest-ranked Step 6 clubs (that applied to enter) not promoted to Step 5, based on their points per game (PPG) from the 2022-2023 season.

For ease of reference, the seven Step 6 Clubs to be accepted are Brislington FC, Hartpury University FC, Liskeard Athletic FC, Okehampton Argyle FC, Stockport Town FC, Wells City FC and Wendron United FC

The draw for the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round has been published.

Ties will take place on Saturday 5th August and will go to a replay if level after 90 minutes.

Nice one Melksham Town, winners on the Isle of Wight. And in a “Me Derby”, Falmouth Town (location of my alma mater) defeated Exmouth Town (where my Nan and Gramps lived and I spent many a summer holiday).

My hometown team, Devizes, don’t seem to compete in the Cup any more - they must consider it beneath them…

Falmouth, Mousehole and Helston all won, Wendron lost. Some nice long trips to West Cornwall for someone in the next round!

I used to get the train up from Falmouth to City games when I was a student and it felt like it took forever and a day, Lanterne. Sat there listening to Weezer, Suede and Smashing Pumpkins on my Walkman. ?

Shout out to my nearest team, Buckland Athletic who beat Torpoint 5-1.

Also to Paulton Rovers. The chap sat next to me on the way up to a Bristol was a ground hopper. He lives on Dartmoor, doesn’t drive but has still managed to visit 480 grounds and today was a new one for him, Paulton Rovers.

It was already his 17th game of the season.

Paulton if they win their replay are away to Tiverton. Not sure the above draw is correct.

Think that is last year's draw.

Thanks for this. I had searched under 2023/24, but will try again.

The FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round takes place this weekend.  

Ties will go to a replay if level after 90 minutes.  

Here are the fixtures, the number in brackets indicates the club's non-league step.

So, my local side, Okehampton Argyle are the only tier six side left in the entire competition. Not bad since this is the first season they`ve been accepted into the FA Cup and they play in the local park. It should also mean they get to enter in future years too.

If they beat Highworth tomorrow and get drawn at home to one of the big (for that level - they could end up with someone like Tiverton, Dorchester or Merthyr) sides they`ll probably have to look at moving the tie to somewhere more suitable - God knows where though!

? Bishops Cleeve 2 - BMF 3, Frome 3 - Clevedon 1, Swindon Supermarine 1 - Cribbs 2, 

? Flackwell Heath match was abandoned.

? Okehampton 1 - Highworth 3, Salisbury 3 - Bridgewater 2, 

 

There`s a strange one on the FA website - Didcot v Portchester off, subject to FA investigation. I wonder what went on there. I can`t find anything online.

Also a shout out to Plymouth Parkway beating Dorchester, that is a great result for them. Commiserations to Okey though, done bloody well to get this far.

Suggestion that Portchester fielded an ineligible player in the prior round.

Is the next round the one when we find out which non-league side are going to be beating the g*s this season?

No; this weekend was the 2nd qualifying round. Two weeks time it's the third and two weeks after that; the fourth and last qualifying when the National League teams join in. Then comes the First Round Proper.

Weymouth v Bath,  Cray / Ramsgate v Plymouth / FromeTorquay v Hungerford,  Yeovil v Didcot,  Merthyr / Taunton v  Sheppey,  Wingate / Farnborough v WsM.  

Frustrating draw that, BMF unfortunate to lose against Didcot on the weekend and playing Yeovil away would have been the biggest (competitive) game in their history.

It will be interesting to see what kind of following Maidenhead bring to Weston, they only took 41 to their league match at Southend recently 

Hopefully being the FA Cup a few more may be interested, to give the atmosphere a bit more of an edge 

I thought this players name was brilliant, Will De Havilland. If he's not obsessed with planes..... With a name like that he must be connected to Geoffrey de Havilland. 

(For those younger supporters scratching their heads, it's worth Googling his name to see how he shaped the aircraft industry and how it evolved into BAE)

Hereford beat Rochdale (national league) 1-0. I always consider them relatively local.

As a side note, what a great name Cray Valley Paper Mills FC is. Can’t say I’ve heard of them before but they will be in the first round proper. I think the only thing I really miss about not being in league one is the increased chance to play some obscure team e.g Harrogate railway or Kingstonian away. Got to love the FA cup even if it has become a bit watered down over the years.

Probably repeating myself, but oh the memories of Simmons Park, the taste of Thunderbird, squidgy black in the "bus" shelters, snogging girls, happy happy days 🥰🤣
