I thought it was a handicap match. Did Maldon and Tiptree find that they couldn't co-exist?

They certainly could!

[Lineker]

Second round draw will be live on BBC Two tonight at 7pm.

[Bobfoc]

I'm hoping for some all-non-league ties. A nice home draw for Notts would be nice too, although away at Boston would be particularly interesting for me.

[Bobfoc]

Northampton away sounds like a swift exit. Shame.

[Oakesy]

Away to Swindon or Cheltenham for us, not over thrilled with that

[Lineker]

Portsmouth vs. Harrogate has been delayed until 20:40 due to a power failure... good luck to the BT Sport team having to kill for time there!

Full second round draw

Blackpool v Maidstone United
Harrogate/Portsmouth v Altrincham
Shrewsbury/Bradford v Mansfield Town
Coventry City v Ipswich/Lincoln
Kingstonian v AFC Fylde
Tranmere/Wycombe v Chichester City
Walsall/Darlington v Oxford United
Cambridge United/Exeter City v Yeovil/Hartlepool United
Stourbridge/Eastleigh v Crewe Alexandra
Forest Green Rovers v Carlisle United
Solihull Moors v Rotherham United
Sunderland/Gillingham v AFC Wimbledon/Doncaster
Wrexham/Rochdale v Boston United
Stevenage/Peterborough United v Dover Athletic
Oldham Athletic v Salford/Burton Albion
Maldon & Tiptree v Grimsby/Newport
Crawley Town v Fleetwood Town
Cheltenham/Swindon v Port Vale
Northampton Town v Notts County
Bristol Rovers/Bromley v Plymouth Argyle

[Bobfoc]

This is set up perfectly for Grimsby and Newport to set aside their differences and team up against the all-conquering tandem of Maldon and Tiptree.

[FestiveJack]

Couple of potential all south west ties, so hopefully those happen.

[Lineker]

Maldon & Tiptree vs. Newport County is on BBC Two this evening.

I understand a lack of awareness of the opposition players but is it common to regular shout "black boy" at non-league grounds? I always remember "you're shit seven!" but not so much ethnicity, of course it could just be "Essex" and the Beeb catching idiots in the tiny crowd?

Vale tasting some third round action for the first time in a while, praying for a first meeting with Sjoke City since 1999

I think you've done better than that.
