Farsley drew 1-1 with Kettering in their first leg tonight, after being 1 up at half time.

Lee Sinnott is believed to be on the shortlist for the Bradford City job, he's probably best staying put if he wants to progress his career though!

I guess a draw isn't a bad result considering how much Kettering's wage bill is. Be great if the Celts can beat them away on saturday and I really can't see no reason why not?!

Good crowd at the nest, over 1600...

It would have been one more if I'd realised the home leg was tonight, and not Saturday!

I remember going to the NWCFL Cup Final at Gigg Lane in 1988. Colwyn Bay lost 3-1 to Warrington Town.

It was an interesting evening. There were around 350 there. 300 were from Colwyn Bay, and about 250 of those ripped the ground to pieces when Warrington went 2-0 up after about ten minutes.

A year later the same two teams met again. The crowd was about 302. About 300 from Colwyn Bay and me and the St. Helens Town secretary tucked safely away at the other end of the ground, with crash helmets on!

You pick your games, don't you?

Great crowd on at Farlsey fair credit to them!! Came up and having to compete with alot of Yorkshire clubs they have done very well and got a fab result tonight.

Good luck to them, the more northern teams we have progressing the better.

Good. Gives us chance to build a first leg lead without the curse of the Sky cameras.

Be interesting to see how they managed to fit a crowd as large as that in to the Nest

Would also like to discover whether there were actually any stewards on duty for such a crowd as well.

There was a thousand more there for the cup game against MK Dons! Still a bit of room too.. think capacity is 3500, which would need everyone to be packed in.
