Welcome to the Emirates FA Cup second round draw. We're live from Bolitho Park, which is quite lively with the Plymouth Parkway fans here, as you can see. They are excited to find out who they could face if they manage to get the job done against Berkhamsted tonight. How do you feel about this? Good? Good. Confident? Woo! Yes, I think there are some pretty confident Plymouth Parkway fans here tonight. We also have some very special guests here, along with the Berkhamsted fans who are in what we call the away section of
the clubhouse. As you can see, we have Tom Cleverley here too, the manager of Plymouth Argyle, and fresh from that excellent victory at Wimborne Town yesterday. We also have Wimborne's coach, Tim Sills. It's great to have them with us tonight. And as you can see next to me to draw the balls tonight is Joel Ward, who lifted the FA Cup trophy you see here in all its glory just 18 months ago as captain of Crystal Palace. Joel, how special was that day at Wembley? For me it is the best cup in English football and I believe so, it is a beautiful moment and incredible memories that accompany it. We are also joined by Asmir Begović, who won the FA Cup in a
very special season with Portsmouth in 2008 that we all remember. What are your memories of that season, Asmir? Well, it's been quite a while, but I have incredible memories; Obviously, it was an amazing team to be a part of. Those are memories you'll always treasure. So these players who are going out to play in this incredible competition today are fantastic memories and we'll see if they can advance to the next round. As always, there will be many fans, not just you here in this clubhouse, but watching from home, keeping an eye on some of these numbers. So let's take a look at some of the ones to watch out for tonight. Dover Athletic is number one.
Kidderminster Harriers, with that weekend surprise, number seven. Plymouth Parkway and Berkhamsted number 16. AFC Fylde number 19. Wimborne Town number 29. Plymouth Argyle. I thought I'd hear a few more boos than that. Number 30. Number 32 is Guiseley. Carlisle United is number 39 and Salisbury is number 40. There are 40 balls that will go into the pot.

Our thanks to Joel and Asmir, and also to the Plymouth Parkway supporters and the club for hosting us for the draw. Good luck to you and Berkhamsted ahead of tonight's game. And don't forget that the matches will be played during the first weekend of
December, starting on Friday the fourth. Okay, let's do a recap of some of these matches. There are some great matches to look forward to that first weekend of December. We have Guiseley, one of the seventh division teams, who will face Notts County at home. Exeter City will face Stevenage, and that's the matchup I think everyone in this room wanted, a home game for either Plymouth Parkway or Berkhamsted, and they will face Barnet. We also have Barrow facing off against Kidderminster Harriers. Plymouth Argyle has an away game against Crewe Alexandra. And Port Vale, who had an incredible season last year, will face Leyton Orient. There's a home game for Wimborne Town after their brilliant upset yesterday against Crawley. They will
face Bradford City. Rotherham United will face Bristol Rovers. Reading will face Stockport County, and Wycombe Wanderers will face MK Dons. Let's get some reactions in the room, because I want to hear from some of these fans and the two coaches waiting with Danny Jameson. I think we should probably start with you, Tim. A home game against perhaps one of the biggest teams left in the competition.
Happy? Yes, I mean, I said I'd be happy with a home game against whoever at this stage. That is, to face a team with so much history and, yes, a huge, huge club. I can feel the stress levels of the people at the club, as they have to do everything all over again. But yes, what an occasion yesterday was, and we are eager to try to produce another magical moment. Speaking with some of your players afterwards, it seems that they see themselves as having a chance in any home game, even against a team one division higher than the one they beat yesterday.
Yes, you know it will be a different challenge again. Obviously, they crushed Marine at the weekend, which we saw, but you know, like I said yesterday, nobody will want to come and play with us. The same goes for these lads; whoever is playing at home between Plymouth or Berkhamsted against Barnet, they won't want to go there. So it's great to see so many clubs outside the league getting a home draw in this round. And we hope to be able to put on a show again. Well, good luck. I suspect we might see them the first weekend of December. Tom, for you, you have an away game against a team that is doing very well, but in the lower division. Is that what you expected?
No, obviously you'd want to play at home, especially because of the distances we have to travel. But we've played well away from home this season, so it's the part of the world where my family lives, so I'm sure it's like a home game for them, yes. Um, once again the magic of the cup is experienced on nights like this, where we come and, as I was telling Tim, I was a Bradford fan growing up, so for his team to play against them at home is something special, yes, a couple of standout matches there. Reading vs Stockport is a good match, but for us, it's a trip north. Well, I wish them the best of luck. Thanks for coming and good luck in the next round.
Thank you. Guys, you did really well there. Joel, I think you did your job by getting Plymouth Parkway and Berkhamsted a home game. I know I can relax now. Now I can relax, but it was great. It's good to see some of the pairings and, for me, obviously, it's great that Wimborne is playing at home. You know, we were there last night, Jewels, and we saw what an amazing atmosphere, what an incredible night it was, and a fantastic display and performance too; They showed great courage. So, I'm really looking forward to Bradford going there and they're certainly going to be put to the test. Asmir, what interests you most about that second round draw?
One of my former teams, Leicester City, having to go to Dover. I'm sure I'll get some messages about that away game, a tough one for them, so I don't think it'll be easy, but it's a great reward for Dover to play against one of the giants of League One. And what about the fans in this room? Are they all happy? Yes. Happy now? Alright guys, we actually have a game coming up next for you live on TNT Sports because, while we were busy bringing you the draw, the Plymouth Parkway and Berkhamsted players have come out to warm up. They're getting ready for a huge game that we hope to bring you soon here on TNT.
