So the unofficial 'second' round of the 2009/10 FA Cup is upon us, just two weeks after the 'first' round.
Of course the round is actually called the Preliminary Round, but to those clubs, including the team I'm following Runcorn Linnets, this is the second round of the competition.
Already 203 teams have tasted defeat in the FA Cup, with a further 167 destined to fall at the Preliminary Round over the weekend.
Of course the Linnets will be hoping they can make it through to the next round and a trip to either Maine Road or Ramsbottom United, but standing in their way is tough opposition in the form of Bamber Bridge.
I'll be arriving at Irongate on Saturday at about 1.30pm with my brother Robert and friend Lawrence, to size up the atmosphere and hopefully collect as much money as possible on the way.
A big thank you to those who have already donated and a thank to those who are destined to donate as the campaign trundles on.
As always the money raised is going to a brilliant cause in Cancer Research UK, a charity close to my and many people's hearts.
Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and hopefully the weather can football can be as good as the last round.
