Originally Posted by HardKore UK Thats pretty much right, although every Semi-Professional team in England takes part in the F.A.

The winners of those matches get drawn into the Second Round Proper, in which some Division 1 teams enter. Then the winners of THOSE matches, get to the 3rd Round (proper) of the F.A. Cup, where the Premier League teams enter the competition, this is where things start to get interesting as Lower League teams get drawn against Premiership "big boys" and occasionally knock them out of the cup in a giantkilling. Like when Wycombe of division 2 beat a Premier League (not to mention overall shit) Leicester in the 6th Round (Quater Final) of the Cup in 2002.

Thats almost right. No teams start in the second round though, and all Second Division Teams start in the First Round. And, as has been said, there are more than 3 qualifying rounds.

Who cares anyway. We all know that the LDV is where the real action is at.

OH WE'RE OFF TO CARDIFF COZ WE BEAT THE COL U!
