Nuneaton Town booked their FA Vase Second Round spot the hard way, drawing 3–3 at Stafford before winning 4–2 on penalties. A day of twists, tension, and non-league cup football at its best.

The 18th January was the close of another familiar chapter for Boro supporters - the club had previously been liquidated in 1991 and 2008. When you have no future to look forward to, you look back to the past. Nuneaton St Nicholas; Nuneaton Borough FC; Nuneaton Borough 1991 FC; Nuneaton Town; and Nuneaton Borough - there have been many incarnations of the club and it will need to rise from the ashes once again.
