The second round draw is about to get underway on ITV 1. There’s about five minutes to go until it begins so grab a brew and hurry back if the team you support is involved.
Second round surprise
Ramsgate have already had a crazy run this year’s FA Cup, coming through qualifying beating Chatham Town, Cray Wanders, Totton and now Woking in the first round proper to reach the second round of the FA Cup.
They last reached the first-round proper back in 2005 but have never got as far as this in the tournament.
Ramsgate are a small seaside football team from Kent and a home tie in the second round would sell out the 2,500-capacity Southwood Stadium.
A favourable tie could also see Ramsgate possibly go up against Premier League opposition if they successfully get to the third round.
