Does anyone know if we are definitely away to Moneyfields in the Trophy on the 24th?
Looks like some teams in our division have league fixtures on that day.

Interesting. We, and some other step 4 clubs have the privilege of starting in the preliminary round on August 24th while others (I looked at Harrow and Uxbridge) have to wait for the first qualifying round on September 7th.

It seems as though the preliminary round is new for this year, from here.

A preliminary round has been added to the FA Trophy, with more clubs from Step 4 entering the competition than last term.

£1,500 in prize money if we win (plus a guaranteed £400 at least in the next round), £400 if we fall at the first hurdle.

We are definitely playing Moneyfields, all teams at step 4 go into the draw for the Preliminary round, the unlucky 28 drawn first then form the Preliminary round with the remainder getting a bye to the first round qualifying.

As a consequence of the above all teams were given a League fixture in case they received the bye, we were scheduled to be at Home to South Park (Reigate) hence it's now a tba game that will need to be re-arranged.

Hope that makes sense
