How much dosh for the train up there are we talking?

Great draw. 1st round great, but 2nd round and just 90 mins away from 3rd round draw is a great feeling. A lesser non league team home or away gives us best shot at that, and also increases chances of a tv game - tv games always likely to be non league at home to league and with only a dozen or so non league teams likely to make round 2, who knows.

[Mrs Warbouys]

Being only six all non league ties including our own we'd have to be lucky to pull out a nonleague side in round two should we be fortunate enough to get there. Arguably the winners of Basingstoke/Harrow B. v Spennymoor T/AFC Telford Utd or Bromley v Dartford at home would be best unless anyone causes a shock. Failing that the winners of hartlepool v East Thurrock at home

Having been around for a fair while, F.A.Cup means one game @ a time. So far £12,500 Prize Money. Next another away tie v. my one wish, a lower placed team, Potential £18,000 Prize Money. That's as far as I go to the end of the match @ Blyth Spartans, THEN THE DREAMS BEGIN AGAIN. i am luckier than most I've seen all the 3rd Round ties & replays but there was no prize money then. ROLL ON ALFRETON TOWN.

Just had a quick look and the nearest station (Cramlington or something) is 4 miles away. It looked like there was going to be little change from £100 there and back, possibly more....

We'd get coverage on Soccer Saturday!

There's a fairly fast bus from Newcastle Haymarket bus station, a better option than train to Cramlington I'd have thought.

For those going by train, depending on how much of a day you want to make of it, you should base yourself around Whitley Bay I reckon. You certainly don't want to be spending much time around Blyth, and you might just get a pleasant day at the seaside!

There is a train from Victoria just before 9am, getting into Newcastle at 11:30ish.  Jump on the Metro to Whitley Bay, and that should see you in the pub by lunchtime.

A cab ride from there to the ground would be roughly 15 mins or so along the coastal road I reckon. Get a cab back into Whitley Bay at FT.

Return train tickets currently around £45, with a few return trains to choose from (depending on how much sticking around and drinking you want to do)

This is is Alty - if you're getting the Metro to The Coast it's got to be Tynemouth darling
