The FA Cup first-round draw took place at Bradford City’s stadium on Monday night, with League One and League Two clubs joining rivals from Non-League in the draw
MK Dons will face fierce rivals AFC Wimbledon in a mouth-watering FA Cup first-round clash.
Elsewhere, Wrexham will travel to Harrogate Town and Birmingham face a tough clash with Sutton United. There’s also a local derby in Northamptonshire as non-league Kettering Town travel to rivals Northampton Town.
The lowest-ranked side left in the competition are Hednesford Town but they will have to get through a replay away at Gateshead on Tuesday before turning their focus to their first round clash at home to either Gainsborough Trinity or Boston.
The draw took place at Bradford City’s stadium and before the draw, Guiseley manager Mark Bower admitted his side have ridden their luck to get into the first round, but is now eyeing a tie against one of the big boys. He got his wish as they were drawn with Stevenage.
He said: “We’ve had a tough run to get to this point. We played three teams above us in the league rankings to get here. We rode our luck a little bit but you need that in the FA Cup. Be great to play Bradford City but any of the big boys would be fantastic.”
Bradford boss Graham Alexander, meanwhile, was keen to lead his side on an FA Cup run this season. The Bantams hosted the draw and Alexander believes his side would represent a glamour tie to many teams.
“It’s part of the attraction of the club for players and staff, we want to be part of that history. We’ve had a solid start, we’ve got a good group but the challenge is on,” he told BBC Sport.
“Winning games is great for anybody. A lot of clubs would like to draw us because we take 3,000 fans away from home. We’re looking forward to the draw it’s always an exciting time.”
