FA Cup starts for Bulls on November 8th

Hereford United will be in the draw for the first round of the FA Cup which takes place on Saturday November 8th.

Last season the Bulls pulled off several excellent results including a draw then a win in a replay against Leeds United in Round One, a win over Hartlepool in Round Two, a draw and then a win in a replay against Tranmere in the Third Round before putting up a spirited display against Paul Parry's Cardiff City at Edgar Street in Round Four.

To have been drawn against Leeds United was a real coup for the Bulls and few will forget Lionel Ainsworth's goal at Elland Road which won the tie.

But no two seasons are the same and the chances are that whoever the Bulls are drawn against in Round One may not quite have the appeal of Leeds United.

The draw takes place this Sunday October 26th at about 1pm. The Bulls are ball number 22.

This year 670 'small' clubs entered the cup. Those who make it to Round One will be joined by all the teams from Leagues One and Two.

The prize money for winning a Round One tie is £20,000. The TV broadcasting fee is £75,000 per club with £37,500 for a replay and £7,500 for highlights. ITV and Setanta have the TV rights this season.
