Unfortunately not.

They are all mainly in the Manchester / Yorkshire area.

Might have to wait a few years for FC to get into the Nationwide conference before you get any southern sides Shane.....

Not necessarily.

If FC United do well in the FA Vase then they could get a draw to a southern team.

First attempt this year, so maybe could be this season....

Heres hoping eh...

I take it FC aren't competing in the FA cup this coming season then Fred, i take it they've still got to do the 2 years in non league football in order to financially qualify (to hold there own) rather than a fly by night team that start up and disappear overnight....

FC United have to do one season in the FA Vase first. Once they do that they can go into the FA Cup.

So next season we can go into the proper FA Cup but the chances of FC getting anywhere in that in their first season is nigh on nil. If they get through to the first qualifying stage proper then they will have done very well.

But the FA Vase is something FC can really go for. Theres no reason why FC shouldnt get to at least the quarter finals if not maybe even further.

I know that FC had a game at Wimbledon last year, so I was hoping for a similar sort of friendly.
In the meantime, a vase game against Barnet would be nice, they are at the end of my street.

We've got Wimbledon at home in a friendly in July...

Get on one of their busses.

Barnet are a league team mate, you need to be at Step 5 of non-league to play in the Vase!
