Fans stunned with one team 'set to host a racecourse' in FA Cup round one

FANS spotted a funny mistake after the draw for the first round of the FA Cup was made.

Games will take place between November 1-4.

It will feature some big teams like Birmingham, Huddersfield and Wrexham, as well as non-league minnows.

A total of 44 names were pulled out of the hat for the first round – but one appeared as something else on the FA‘s website.

The fixtures showed a tie between Hartlepool/Brackley vs Aintree.

A correction was later made so the correct team, Braintree Town, was put in place of Aintree.

But not before eagle-eyed fans spotted the mistake, with some joking the game would be held on a racecourse, referencing Aintree’s famous horseracing venue.

One fan reacted saying: “Wonder how long it will take for the FA to realise that they’ve currently got the winner of the Hartlepool-Brackley replay hosting a racecourse…”

Another added: “To be a fair, a team of players on horses is something I’d pay good money to see.”

There is actually a football team called Aintree Villa FC – but it would have been some achievement for the Step 7 team who play in the West Cheshire League to reach this stage.

Elsewhere there are some notable ties including AFC Wimbledon‘s visit to MK Dons.

The two are the bitterest of rivals following the relocation of the original Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes.

AFC Wimbledon pretty much had to start again and now play in League Two.

While League One leaders Birmingham face a trip to non-league side Sutton United.

Huddersfield also take on non-league Tamworth.
