Lucky Number Seven?

Gillingham will find out on Sunday afternoon what their reward for the FA Cup win at Bury is.

The draw for the second round - just one away from the big boys of the Premier League - takes place at Soho Square at 1.45pm, with the balls being drawn out by Lawrie Sanchez and Ray Parlour.

The Gills are ball number seven in the draw - the numbers correspond to where the teams were drawn out in the first round - and will hope for a home tie.

History would suggest that we'll be playing a team whose name begins with a B though - the last five FA Cup draws have handed them ties with Burscough, Bromley, Bristol City, Barnet and Bury.

So, erm, look out Blyth Spartans?

Blyth were one of the heroes of first-round day, beating Shrewsbury 3-1, while Curzon Ashton beat Exeter and our old friends from Swindon were dumped out by Histon.

There will be at least 10 non-league teams still in the competition - seven definitely through and three more guaranteed to join them from replays - so the draw could well throw up an interesting tie for the Gills.

Draw numbers:

1 Leyton Orient
2 Havant & Waterlooville or Brentford
3 Blyth Spartans
4 Notts County
5 Torquay United
6 Oxford United or Dorchester Town
7 Gillingham
8 AFC Wimbledon or Wycombe Wanderers
9 Millwall
10 Carlisle United or Grays Athletic
11 Team Bath or Forest Green Rovers
12 Eastbourne Borough or Barrow
13 AFC Hornchurch or Peterborough United
14 Yeovil Town or Stockport County

16 Accrington Stanley or Tranmere Rovers
17 Scunthorpe United
18 AFC Bournemouth
19 Brighton & Hove Albion or Hartlepool United
20 Aldershot Town or Rotherham United
21 Morecambe
22 Port Vale
23 Alfreton Town
24 Kidderminster Harriers
25 Leicester City
26 Bradford City
27 Darlington or Droylsden
