Here’s how fans reacted as with the FA Trophy Third Round draw confirmed…

@steven_par66956: Picks for me Brentwood v Southend, Braintree v Forest v Green, Basford v Halifax, Altrincham v Macclesfield

@DanTheManSAFC: Stockton v Oldham. Huge tie for the Anchors. 10 years ago, there were 8 divisions between the 2 clubs

@MatthewCar31227: Surely York v darlo and Stockton v Oldham too

@oafc_prozac: First FA Trophy game to warrant a temporary stand? There’ll be massive demand from our lot #OAFC

@DanHarvey74: Great draw for @BrentwoodTownFC!!!

@imp566: Slough v Maidenhead looks like a cracker. Davies v Devonshire!

@Ben_Benneyworth: I’m sure we’re gonna welcome back Joe Beast Mcnerney with open arms in the FA Trophy 😅. It’s actually nice to see him come home, just unfortunately on the wrong side. #wokingfc

@FleetDieHard: So it’s an away draw against Sutton United for the #FATrophy. Can’t say I hold much hope for us and realistically we need to be concentrating on league survival which is getting less likely by the day! #eufc #utf #FleetDieHard

@Dan_Mason22: @AFCFylde away. Again. It’s so predictable, it’s almost funny. Never did like the FA Trophy anyway…. 🙄 khfc

@HoughtonQuaker: That’s our FA Trophy adventure at an end 😂 still, good day out

@NiallTiagoFlynn: Alty v. Macc, FA Trophy Third Round. Yikes.

Stockton Oldham
Alty Macclesfield
Chertsey Dagenham
Yeovil Weymouth
Brentwood Southend
Slough Maidenhead https://t.co/Rca51euDYq pic.twitter.com/ZPvEYjUFjR

Pools will be pleased with a home draw in the FA Trophy. If the club want to take the competition seriously, it offers a realistic route to Wembley. Squad is deep enough to do so. Tamworth beat Huddersfield in the FA Cup first round. Winner of third round tie gets £4,500. https://t.co/pGZoTZZuVk
