Best? Man Utd away, Everton away, Newcastle away, Spurs away, Leeds, Liverpool
, Man City
Worst? Plymouth away, Wimbledon away, Swindon away, Yeovil away?

I'd love a home v Premier League side. Man Utd/City, Liverpool would be fantastic!

Man U away would be good, would have been a decent route to the 4th round as well if it were a few weeks ago, sadly not now the clueless Norwegian has gone.

I suppose the best by far would be Old Trafford. We get half the gate after costs, and they have averaged over 70,000 for their home FA cup matches over the last few years. Probably TV as well. That would be a massive payout for us - keep us competitive, certainly financially secure for foreseeable future.
Horrible Boreham Wood defeat it will be then.....

How about hosting Boreham Wood or St Albans City? Not a glamour tie - but a great chance reach the fourth round, something we've never done before as a club.
Other than that, a ground I've not been to before would be nice. Villa, Leeds, or any of the Premier League London clubs apart from Spurs.

At Bournemouth, according to this somewhat pointless simulation!

Someone has just informed me that the draw is at half-time---not after the match. Is this correct?

I heard it was at 6:45pm prior to the match.
Ps. Would like a Premier tie away. The bigger the better. Our only objective in the FA Cup is to raise as much finance as possible to aid our main objective of trying to remain in EFL 1.
If it is a home tie I would like any of the remaining non league teams at home. Still very difficult but it would be great to make the 4th round for the first time ever.
CONFIRMED.
WHEN IS THE DRAW?
The draw will be shown live on ITV 4 ahead of the live game between Boreham Wood and St Albans City – the final tie of the Second Round.
Coverage begins at 18:45 (GMT) on Monday 6 December with the draw expected at 19:00 before the game.

Absolutely right BB, the really important thing is the financial side of things to keep us in League 1 and solvent. Other teams might be great for us fans but letting head rule heart Man U away would be best.

Yes , you are right , avoid Spurs where we would get spanked now that Conte is starting to get them going.
I would take the lowest team left in at home and try and win £80,000 + a certain TV fee and then look for a big club away in round 4.

Should have been at Sheff Wed on 8th Jan so would be ironic if we got Sheff Utd instead

Yeah Conte has really got Spurs going. On a completely separate note; Mura are a fantastic side steeped in history.

Dream tie that, absolutely superb! Their new ground looks superb on TV never mind actually being there. Can only imagine what our resident Spurs fans like Shrimper and Scoobie are feeling right now.
The usual script is reduced ticket prices so I would imagine a very large attendance and a big pay day for the club.
Can't wait.

We have gone from Buxton in the rain to visiting the best stadium in the world.

I'm a resident Spurs fan along with Shrimper etc. London's biggest club , unfortunately not yet London's most successful !
