FA Cup second-round draw: Fylde v Wigan and more – as it happened

And that is very much that. Ties will be played on the weekend of Saturday 2 December 2017. Bye!

Here’s the draw in full:

Woking or Bury vs Tranmere or Peterborough
MK Dons v Maidstone United
Newport Co v Cambridge Utd
Wycombe v Leatherhead or Billericay
Port Vale v Yeovil Town
Shrewsbury v Morecambe
Doncaster Rovers v Northampton or Scunthorpe
Slough Town v Rochdale
AFC Wimbledon v Charlton Athletic
Stevenage v Swindon Town
Mansfield Town v Guiseley or Accrington Stanley
Gateshead v Luton Town
Bradford City v Plymouth Argyle
Blackburn Rovers v Crewe Alexandra
Fylde v Wigan Athletic
Gillingham v Carlisle Utd
Notts Co v Oxford City
Forest Green v Exeter City
Chorley or Fleetwood v Hereford
Coventry City v Boreham Wood

So who’ll be on TV, then? Fylde v Wigan seems the obvious choice, with Slough v Rochdale not far behind. Boreham Wood v Coventry would have been hard to beat, but with Coventry at home it will probably be overlooked.

This concludes the draw for the second round of the FA Cup.

And the final teams out of the hat are Coventry City and, last of all, Boreham Wood.

Chorley or Fleetwood Town are at home – massive cheers – to Hereford.

And now they are pulled out of the hat, and Oxford will travel to Notts County. Meanwhile Forest Green Rovers host Exeter City.

It’s Gillingham v Carlisle. Oxford City remain to be drawn – they are No20, and every 20-something number is bringing out massive groans.

Fylde get a fine home draw, against Wigan.

Blackburn will be at home to Crewe. Still quite a few small names to come.

Plymouth Argyle head for Bradford City.

Gateshead are at home to Luton.

Guisely or Accrington Stanley will head to Mansfield.

Stevenage are at home to Swindon.

AFC Wimbledon will welcome Charlton Athletic.

Slough Town are at home – big roars there – to Rochdale of League One.

Northampton or Scunthorpe will visit Doncaster Rovers.

Port Vale play Yeovil, and the League One leaders Shrewsbury are at home to Morecambe.

Minnow alert! Wycombe Wanderers are at home to Leatherhead or Billericay Town.

Newport County host Cambridge United.

MK Dons will host Maidstone United.

In an or-heavy fixture, Woking or Bury will be at home to Peterborough United or Tranmere Rovers

The balls have dropped! They’re being swirled and the picking is about to happen

The draw is actually happening! Well, a brief preambulatory chat with Andy Cole and Kevin Davies is happening, but it won’t be long now.

Bernard Wilson is in Australia – where it is silly o’clock in the morning – waiting to see who Coventry draw. “In my day draw at seven meant seven,” he sniffs, not unreasonably.

Here are some of Boreham Wood’s stars preparing for their moment in the spotlight:

We’re just 10 minutes away from an actual draw now.

These are the scenes at Oxford City. The magic of the FA Cup in action:

I’ve seen more excitement in my time, I have to say. Still, there’s time yet.

Here’s how they used to do it. Brough has the reddest nose I’ve ever seen in a black and white photograph:

Slough described hosting the draw as “a great privilege for the club, very exciting for the town” and added that it “of course puts Arbour Park firmly on the map”. Here’s some live imagery:
