Anyone people want?

Don't really care. Unless it's the third round it doesn't really matter.

[RFCMod]

Aldershit away or Farnham or Farnborough

[Ark Royal]

Aldersh*t away or Truro away for the epic weekend trip.

[South Coast Royal]

The only "little" club near to me are AFC Totton.
Eastleigh (not so little) still have a tricky away fixture and I wouldn't want them after the embarrassment of last time.

Is this round still regional?

It’s not. Would make sense for it to be, but we can draw anyone in this round.

No, as above.

While the 4th qualifying is the stage that the National League comes in, I think its basically split North and South here but not therafter.

It's a bit more finely divided in earlier rounds.

[Hendo]

Winner of Dorking v Aldershot away would be ideal.

[tidus_mi2]

Wouldn't mind a nice local non-league ground to visit.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Flackwell Heath away might be fun

[Jackson Corner]

Given our recent record away to non league teams. Be careful what you wish for.

[KC Royal]

I’ll take Eastbourne or Whitstable away please.

+1.
Even Whitstable at home would be interesting for me.
I'd also add in Slough Town away.

[Dirk Gently]

Carlisle Utd away, please.

[Whore Jackie]

League 2 or non-league away please.

[South Coast Royal]

A draw away to the lowest rated side left would be good with some decent TV money to be had...............but not Eastleigh.
