Nope. Has it ever been?
Is the first round still regional?

Yes, briefly.
Yep used to be split North & South for the first round & maybe the 2nd round.

Last time the first & second rounds were regional was 1997/8 apparently.
When was that then? Early days of the competition?

As per my edited post up until 1997/8
If you look at all our FA Cup 1st & 2nd Rounds up until then they are all 'Southern'
Anyone know what FA cup game the BBC will be showing on Saturday .
Certainly from at least 1960/61 to 1997/98 Rounds 1 and 2 were regionalised. Obviously somewhere between 1955/56 and 1960/61 it began to be regionalised in Round 2. Round 1 may have been regionalised a lot longer...looking at the Official History of Southend United book, our previous away 1st round game OOP North was in 1921/22 at Worksop Town.Mind you maybe Mick knows when it started to be split as I see we played Bradford PA away in 2nd round 1954/55 season

Think Daggers might think it's them can't see the Orient going any furtherHow about a low ranked Conference side who will see this as the highlight of their season, their FA Cup final, the reason why they support a no-hope, nothing team that usually has nothing else to play for except staving off the enivitability of relegation?
So, Leyton Orient it is then. :hilarious:
