First Round. £18,000 to the winning sides in this round.
A tasty-looking Yorkshire derby stands out in the draw for the first round of the FA Cup, on the proviso FC Halifax Town get through a replay.
In the draw made on Monday night, the club reformed in 2008 were drawn to be at home to play Bradford City, but first they must see off fellow non-league side Chorley.
Even a Chorley win would provide an interesting aside, with Bradford’s manager, Phil Parkinson, coming from the Lancashire town.
The lowest-ranked side left in the competition – Northern Division One team Shildon – will welcome local club Gateshead if they get the better of Norton in a replay.
Warrington Town, managed by Peter Reid’s brother Shaun, will play host to Exeter, while another non-league side, AFC Fylde, must make a 640-mile round trip to Plymouth.
Other notable match-ups include Maidstone going to Stevenage for their maiden first-round tie since reforming in 1992 and the 1987 winners Coventry City welcoming Worcester City to the Ricoh Arena.
The highest-ranked team in the draw, Bristol City, must go to Gillingham; whoever replaces Gary Rowett as Burton Albion manager will head to Barnsley; last season’s semi-finalists Sheffield United must travel to Crewe; and Morecambe have a long journey to either Eastbourne or Dover.
