The Blues have drawn Southern League Premier Division South Bracknell Town away in the first round of the FA Cup.

The Robins, Isthmian South Central Division champions last season, play at Bottom Meadow, Sandhurst Town's ground, which has a capacity of 1,950 with 250 seats, meaning Town will receive a very small allocation for the tie.

First round ties will be played over the weekend of November 5th and 6th.

The Berkshire club, who are currently 15th in their league, beat Banbury 2-1 to reach the first round.

chopra777 added 19:39 - Oct 17 We might be on BBC TV. Just the sort of cup ties they like. Have to play a strong side to show our intent.

SuffPunch added 19:39 - Oct 17 Great draw for both teams. Our Squad being tough should get us through. With 5 subs keeping the squad ready to go, we should be cast iron favourites.

MickMillsTash added 20:25 - Oct 17 Looks Like a 3G to me Surely you can't swap grounds these days and if they do the TV would be less interested playing infront of 23000 empty Reading seats

pg888 added 20:57 - Oct 17 Absolutely no chance they will move it. This is what the cup is all about, you cannot take away the only advantage they have because it suits us!

mathiemagic added 08:28 - Oct 18 Has to be played at their ground surely or what's the point of minnows playing league teams and having the chance to upset someone on their own turf on a crappy Nov day. I really hope its not moved to Reading or changed to PR.

MaySixth added 09:27 - Oct 18 Limited ground, poor pitch, been there twice. We will thump them.
