Southend Manor v Southend United has a nice ring to it, not so far to travel. So it's Torquay at Plainmoor then!
The 2011/12 FA Cup First Round Draw will take place on Sunday, October 30th and will be showed live on ITV1 in a special programme between 13.30 and 14.00, when all the League One and League Two Football League sides join the competition.
Last season Southend United were No. 40, but they've moved down one this time around and will be BALL No. 41 at the weekend.
The Fourth Qualifying Round matches are scheduled to be played this afternoon, so good luck to Southend Manor, who our own editor EEB turned out for back in the day, third and fourth team level though, but a very tough tie at Kettering, and all the other Essex clubs involved.

More a cup stroll last time around after we drew the Silkmen away, took them back to Roots Hall after a 2-2, then lost the replay on penalties!
