Shame that Kidder and Burton if they get through have not got a big draw. That's why I am in favour of third round being seeded. 32 coming in from the second round play 32 entering in a 1st ranked plays 64th ranked. With that non league lower league teams get a gauranteed top draw.

If they brought in seeding for the FA Cup it would be wank. The beauty is anyone can draw anyone.

You can say that if you like however ask fans of  clubs from lower leagues and they may have a different opinion especially non league teams who have climbed a few mountains to get to the third round.

The vast majority of non league sides who reach round three are conference sides who probably only enter the last qualifying round. Winning three games isn't really climbing mountains.

However if you ask them who they want just before the draw what do you think they would say?

I didn't want manure every year. It's tough. You get who you are randomly drawn against. The randomness is what makes the cup draws interesting. A seeded draw would also benefit the 'big' clubs.

Do you seed the fourth round if a non league club gets through because they only got Yeovil in round three?

The smallest club at home or the biggest away. It's irrelevant though - the beauty of the cup includes random draws.

No seeding should be based on previous seasons league position and we have hierarchy of league structure all the way to amateur level to do that.

There's no such thing as amateur football.

Pity this wasn't away, Sheffield is a tremendous away trip.

A last 32 with the odds massively stacked that 20 of them will be Premier League clubs. McGrath no.
