Kidderminster? KIDDERMINSTER?

When compared to our recent history, last season was a happy anomaly for a number of reasons, one of which was that we got some favourable draws in the FA Cup.

After years of being handed tricky away trips to teams with formidable home records, we couldn't have really asked for a much better passage to the third round than three games against teams in our division - two at home and one a trip to the atrocious Stafford Rangers.

This year normal service has been resumed, and after (just) negotiating their way past Boston yesterday, Gary Brabin's men will go to bogey team Kidderminster in round one. This is what happens when the draw gets into the hands of ITV and buffoons like Rosenthal and Keown preside over it. You just can't trust them to do anything right.

Aggborough is a place where we usually lose in spectacular fashion, but hopefully we can grind out a draw, or something, and bring Kiddy back to the now-hoodooless Abbey Stadium.

A match report from the Boston game will follow, probably featuring my utter consternation at
the Brabinator's comments about Robbie Willmott "just pipping Anthony Tonkin" for man of the match.

Yeah, it's a bit boring isn't it. At least you're at home though...

Er, I'd say we'll bring 300-400, maybe a few more. I suspect this fixture won't capture the imagination of the Cambridge public at large!
