2010-11 FA Cup, Third Round Proper.
#1, Stevenage 3-1 Newcastle United. League Two’s Stevenage, a club that is spending it’s first-ever season in the Football League, defeated the Premier League’s Newcastle United. In terms of current league tables, Stevenage are three levels and 75 places lower than Newcastle. Stevenage are just the 13th club from the 4th Level or from Non-League to defeat a 1st Level club in the FA Cup since 1980, and are only the third club to do this since the Premier League was formed in 1992-93..

As usual with this category of map, fixtures are on the far right of the map page; locations of clubs, with their crests, are on the map and within the map segments flanking the main map; and current average attendances (from domestic home league matches) are listed on the far left. Also on the left is each club’s percent change versus 2009-10 average attendance.
The FA Cup Third Round is when clubs from the top two levels of English Football, the Premier League and the Football League Championship, enter the competition. That accounts for 44 teams. The other 20 teams come from lower levels, in this case as far down the pyramid as the 6th Level (Dover Athletic; more on them below). Due to the inclement weather this winter in Britain, there are 65 clubs on the map, not 64 clubs, because one Second Round tie, Lincon City v. Hereford United, has been postponed 3 times due to a frozen pitch at the Imps’ Sincil Bank. That Second Round replay is now scheduled for when the bulk of the matches this round are being played – at 2 pm GMT on Saturday. The winner of Lincon/Hereford is then scheduled to play in Buckinghamshire on Tuesday the 11th, versus Wycombe Wanderers.

Fom The Guardian.co.uk/football, ‘FA Cup third-round preview: five potential upsets to look out for‘, by Rob Bagchi.
Dover Athletic are the lowest-placed club still alive in the FA Cup this season. The coastal Kent club are in the 6th Level, in the Conference South. The Whites aim to make it two promotions in three seasons, and are currently in the playoff places, in 4th place. They’re unbeaten in their last 5 matches, which includes a 7-2 trouncing of Thurrock on Sunday the 2nd of January. Dover’s manager is Martin Hayes, whose playing career included 102 matches and 26 goals for Arsenal (1983-90). Dover Athletic have sizable support for a club two rungs below the Football League, and in fact Dover Athletic were in the Conference National (which is the 5th Level) for nine seasons, from 1993-94 to 2001-02. Dover are currently drawing 1,013 per game to their Perry’s Crabble Athletic Ground in River, Kent (the ground is just across the border from the town of Dover; Perry’s are a car dealership).
In the 2010-11 FA Cup First Round, Dover beat Gillingham away, 2-nil. That match-up was significant in two ways – first, it was a Kent derby. Second, it was a grudge match for Dover, as Gillingham had wrested away Dover’s then-manager, Andy Hessenthaler, over the summer break, and to rub salt into the wound, Hessenthaler then lured two of the Dover staff over to the Gills. On 6 November, Dover dispatched the two-levels-higher Gillingham before 7,475 at Priestfield (which included 2,300 Dover supporters). Then in the Second Round, on 27 November, Dover hosted another League Two club, Aldershot Town, and they beat the Shots 2-0. 4,123 filled the Crabble Athletic Ground for the match. That match was televised, so Dover made a bit of cash on that, too. Both goals v. Aldershot were scored by Adam Birchall, who is attracting the attention of clubs in higher divisions. He had played 104 games for League Two’s Barnet from 2006 to 2009, and it’s likely he will end up back in the 4th Level soon. Adam Birchall was born in Maidstone, Kent, and is a Wales U-21 international. Birchall currently is the second-highest scorer in the Conference South – he has netted 13 league goals (Braintree Town’s Sean Marks has 14 league goals). Birchall also has 11 cup goals in 6 matches in the FA Cup this season (five rounds’ worth of matches plus one replay). That’s insane. Birchall has been crucial to the Whites’ First and Second Round victories – netting the first goal in the Gillingham match – a 30-yard screamer in the 18th minute; and scoring both goals (one from the penalty spot) versus Aldershot. The photo on the left directly below the stadium image shows Birchall seconds before he scored that strike against Gillingham. The photo on the right, there, shows Luke l’Anson right as he was about to score on the parried rebound from a shot by teammate Harry Baker, in the 28th minute.

Dover Athletic have their work cut out for them in the Third Round, as they must travel up to West Yorkshire to face 3rd Level club Huddersfield Town, who sit 6th in League One.

Photos and captions of the two lowest-placed clubs, Tipton Town and Hythe Town are shown below, about halfway down the page. Also, at the end of this post I have listed all derbies in this round, with a cut-off point of 100 km./60 miles. There are 13 Derbies in the 2010-11 FA Cup First Round that fall into that category, the closest being the Greater Manchester derby of Rochdale v. FC United of Manchester (10 km./6miles); the second closest being the East London Derby of Dagenham & Redbridge v. Leyton Orient (13km./8 miles). One other match-up needs mentioning, a West Country derby between Plymouth Argyle and Swindon Town (209 km./130 miles). All 15 of the derbies are listed at the bottom of this post.
The 2010-11 FA Cup commenced on 11 August, 2010, with the Extra Preliminary Round, when 402 clubs – from the 9th and 10th Levels in the English football pyramid – began the 130th edition of the world’s oldest knockout competition [the first FA Cup was held in 1871-72]. In total 759 clubs in England and Wales will compete in this season’s FA Cup competition.
Two clubs from the Extra Preliminary Round still remain in the First Round Proper…Hythe Town FC, of the Kent League; and Tipton Town FC, of the Midland Football Alliance. Both these clubs have won six matches to get to the First Round Proper. Tipton Town’s cup run started with a 0-5 victory over Alvechurch FC, in front of 59 spectators at Alvechurch’s ground in Worcester; while Hythe Town won their match versus Bookham FC by a 4-0 score at Hythe’s Reachfields Stadium in Hythe, Kent, in front of 169 spectators.
Then the Preliminary Round then saw 8th Level clubs enter (131 clubs entered in this round).
(66 clubs entered in this round).
(48 clubs entered in this round).
The Third Qualifying Round had no new entrants, and at the end of the 3rd QR, the field at this point was whittled down to 40 clubs.
Then the Fourth Qualifying round saw the 24 clubs from the Conference National – the highest step in the Non-League ladder, at the 5th Level – enter the competition.
South coast/Kent club Hythe Town (Kent League), and Black Country/West Midlands club Tipton Town (Midlands Alliance).
Greater Manchester-based club FC United of Manchester (Northern Premier), Greater London-based club Harrow Borough (Isthmian Premier), Greater London-based club Hendon (Isthmian Premier), and the Wiltshire club Swindon Supermarine (Southern Premier).
Essex club Chelmsford City (Conference South), Northamptonshire club Corby Town (Conference North), Thames estuary/Kent club Dartford (Conference South), south coast/Kent club Dover Athletic (Conference South), Greater Manchester-based club Droylsden (Conference North), Nottinghamshire club Eastwood Town (Conference North), Thames estuary/Kent club Ebbsfleet United (Conference South), West Yorkshire club Guiseley (Conference North), south coast/Hampshire club Havant & Waterlooville (Conference South), Warwickshire club Nuneaton Town (Conference North), the Ellesmere Port, Cheshire club Vauxhall Motors (Conference North), and the Surrey club Woking (Conference South).
Greater London-based club AFC Wimbledon, Cambridgeshire club Cambridge United, the Surrey club Crawley Town, County Durham club Darlington, Lancashire club Fleetwood Town, Gloucestershire club Forest Green Rovers, Tyne and Wearside/Greater Newcastle-based club Gateshead, Greater London-based club Hayes and Yeading United, Bedfordshire club Luton Town, Nottinghamshire club Mansfield Town, Northamptonshire club Rushden & Diamonds, Merseyside club Southport, Staffordshire club Tamworth, and North Yorkshire club York City.
On Wednesday, 27th October there was a 2010-11 Fourth Qualifying Round Replay in the Black Country, at the Tipton Sports Academy (capacity 2,000; 208 seated) with Tipton Town defeating Sheffield FC (who are the world’s oldest football club, established in 1857). Tipton is midway between Wolverhampton and Birmingham, and has a population of around 47,000. Formed in 1948, Tipton Town are a 9th Level club who play in the Midland Alliance League, and are currently in 2nd place, 3 points behind leaders Coalville Town. Tipton Town’s greatest player is, hands down, Steve Bull, the England international and 300-plus goal scorer for Wolverhampton Wanderers (1986-99), who played for Tipton Town from 1981 to 1984 before he signed with West Bromwich Albion.
At the time of this their first-ever qualification for the FA Cup First Round Proper,Tipton Town were averaging 83 per game (league home matches). They drew an all-time high 1,429 for the replay with Sheffield FC on 27th October (the first match was a 2-2 draw in Sheffield in front of 1,026 at the Coach and Horses Ground in Dronfield, North Derbyshire). In the replay, goals were scored by winger Eric Bowen and striker Danny Campbell. Campbell had also scored the second half equalizer in the original meeting at Sheffield FC’s ground. Tipton Town wins the 17,250 pounds prize money for reaching the First Round, and in this current poor economic climate, that is a huge sum for a club of Tipton’s size. Their reward for making it to the First Round is a trip up north to Cumbria and a share of the gate receipts at Brunton Park, home of League One’s Carlisle United (who sit 8th in the league).
‘Tipton Town hit FA Cup jackpot‘, from The Express and Star.com on Thursday 28th October.
From the BBC/FA Cup, by Phil Maiden, ‘Tipton Town set for FA Cup first round debut‘.
There is one club in the First Round that is lower placed than Tipton Town (who sit 2nd in a 9th Level league), and that is Hythe Town, who sit 5th in the 9th Level Kent League. In the 4th QR, Hythe Town beat Conference South club Staines Town. Hythe Town are currently drawing 192 per home league match, which is the highest turnstile count in the Kent League. Hythe is a small coastal market town with a population of around 14,000, located 17 km. (10.5 miles) west of Dover. Hythe Town drew Hereford United away, which might give the Kent minnows a shot at an upset, seeing as how Hereford are battling relegation at third-from-bottom in League Two.
From BBC/FA Cup, by Matt Davidson of BBC Radio Kent, ‘Hythe Town looking to upset FA Cup odds’.
