The 2024-25 Emirates FA Cup first round draw will take place at the University of Bradford Stadium
The 2024-25 Emirates FA Cup’s first round proper draw will take place at Bradford City’s University of Bradford Stadium on Monday 14 October.
The draw will be broadcast on BBC Two from 7pm that evening, and the city of Bradford has been selected for its historical links to the competition.
Ties in the first round will be played between Friday 1 November 2024 and Monday 4 November 2024.
The iconic look of the competition’s current trophy was first designed and manufactured by Bradford jewellers Fattorini and Sons, with the original version competed for between 1911 and 1993.
That piece of silverware was made in time for the 1911 Final, which Bradford City coincidentally won by defeating Newcastle United 1-0 after a replay, and this remains the club’s only major honour.
48 EFL clubs from League One and League Two including Bradford City will enter the competition at the first round proper stage, and join the 32 non-League teams remaining from the qualifying rounds.
Bradford has also been selected as the 2025 UK City of Culture, and today marks 100 days until it officially takes up this designation.

1. Accrington Stanley

Guess it is not regionalised
-
Obviously, it will be away at Oldham Athletic.
-
Trip to Scarborough?
-
Obviously, it will be away at Oldham Athletic.
Overdue for that one.
-
I would like York City at home.
-
I’ll be at the ground watching England U20 when this is on. One eye on phone, one on pitch.
-
Chesterfield at home. The other week is still haunting me and I don’t want to wait for February to give a proper account of ourselves.
-
I’d like a non-League banana skin away. Proper FA Cup tie.
-
Easiest team at home both rounds.
-

Like Marty Feldman?
-
The good news is Kings Lynn have got knocked out today.
-
Unfortunately Oldham won - would love Scarborough
-
Gainsborough, if they can beat Boston.
Boston away if they can't. :laugh:
[/quote
The away allocation at Bostons new ground is tiny. They still only have three sides.
-
Scarborough away, but it’s only a small ground 3,251 capacity and it’s artificial turf.
-
Rushall Olympic away.
-
Halifax
Scarborough
York
Curzon ashton
Gainsborough
Taunton
Weymouth
Weston-super-Mare
Bath
Plymouth parkway
Boston
All away of course. I would like any of those
-
Halifax were knocked out by Oldham 4-2
-
Just seen that the York chairman has given Biggleswade York’s share of gate receipts. Looks like they finally have a decent owner
-
Halifax were knocked out by Oldham 4-2
Oh, missed that. I was just going off the OP
-
Barrow away.
-
Put the ball back in!
-
Poor draw all round.
-
Ffs
-
S@@@ absolute s*** - miles away- you need a passport - cant get much worse
-
Barrow fans opinion: https://www.barrowafc.net/viewtopic.php?t=33333&sid=f4b2f68802b70fbf61e61ac72b378813
They’re not too happy either!
-
Winnable but not great is it
-
At least it isn’t Oldham
-
It’s a diabolical draw. Absolute horror show.
-
Not the best draw obviously. It is what it is.
We either win or lose. Hope we have a cup run of course but the priority is getting promoted and winning the league to get that 8th time champions which no one else has. ( That is the bottom 2 league divisions )
-
It’s a diabolical draw. Absolute horror show.
Better than Exeter, Gillingham and Newport imo. A few others as well.
It’s winnable. Tough one yes but come on Barrow are hardly world beaters.
-
There’s no sugar coating that draw - bloody awful. Nothing against Barrow, but it’s a sh1t away again draw!
-
Little known and boring fact for many of you. I paid for sponsoring AFC Barrows shirt this season!! Well to elaborate my tax dollars went towards it as AFC Barrow were sponsored by the Province I live in!! A completely random sponsorship deal based around immigration/skilled employment. Why Barrow??? God knows. But the province of Newfoundland & Labrador sits on the shirts of AFC Barrow.
Wasting public money doesn't just happen in the UK :)

They've beaten us at their place for the last 2 seasons. Usually strong at home.
-
Guessing Harrogate will be on TV
-
At least it isn’t Oldham
No. It’s worse.
At least there would have been a crowd and an atmosphere at the ice stadium.
-
Barrow. So much of a shithole neither Lancashire nor Cumbria wants it.
-
It’s a no from me.
-
I might go, only because I’ve never been and the league match there is on a Tuesday night this season
-
As a matter of interest, the winners get £45,000 and the losers £15,000…could be worse! :lol:

Should we be ‘afraid’ of an away fixture at Barrow?
No. It’s absolutely a winnable game.
Would we have preferred a home game? Yes.
If we can’t win this tie then we don’t deserve to be in the 2nd round draw. End of.
-
We can win this and get Oldham next round

Didn't Mike Harding say it was at the end of a 100 mile long cul-de-sac
It felt like it .
-

I shouted nnoooooo after McCall said Barrow and was already standing up to go to chippy when the 20 ball confirmed it
-
Thought McCall misjudged it yesterday. Nobody wants you giving personal anecdotes during the draw. Just pick the balls mate. That’s the job.
-
⬆️⬆️⬆️ Did you see the time Rod Stewart did the Scottish Cup draw, he was steaming

Same with the presenters too though. Who gives a toss it's Ketterings first time in the 1st round or Crewe drew away. Just ball out, read team, next
-
I still do not get this need to know what number each side is before and during the draw.
For me, that has taken away much of the drama of the draw.
Before we knew the numbers, a draw was a constant seat-of-the-pants thing. Every time a number was announced there'd be this sense of momentary tension.
"Number 17" "Manchester United" *Please, please, PLEASE.* "Number 47" *Yes! is that us?* "Will play Darlington."
"Number 56" "Oldham" *Oh God, not again!* "Number 48" "Will play..."
That's all gone now. And for what benefit? To know the outcome half a second earlier.
It's a classic example of the modern malaise of prizing instant gratification over deeper experience.

How immutable.

Can I add to that by saying...have the draw on the radio like it used to be!

And you'd have forgotten about Derby, who were actually number 48, which would add to the drama...
