Weston-super-Mare manager Mickey Bell speaking to BBC Sport about their postponed game against Doncaster: "Everyone in the ground is really disappointed. Our club has worked 24-7 to make this a success and to have it taken away at the death is devastating.
"The referee felt the penalty area was too dangerous to play. He took a long time to come to it and we've got to respect that. I agree that it is a bit tricky but I know myself and (Doncaster manager) Paul Dickov wanted to start the game.
"The fans have travelled down from Yorkshire in awful conditions and I feel so sorry for them."
BBC News School Report
BBC News School Reporter Charlie said: "Quite upset, especially for the Doncaster fans who had travelled a long way."
His twin brother Harry, another BBC School Reporter said: "After all the anticipation and build-up I'm quite annoyed it's been called off so late."
Could hairdresser Michael Potts be a snip for a Football League club? He hopes to prove so if he comes off the bench for Conference North side AFC Fylde against League Two side Plymouth this afternoon.
The 22-year-old midfielder, who began his career as a junior at Manchester United, told BBC North West Tonight: "You never know who is watching.
"If you play well and put in a performance against Plymouth, then you never know what managers are going to be there.
"It's a great occasion for me because the Football League is where every non-league player wants to be. Playing against Plymouth it's kind of a test to prove you are good enough."
Eastleigh FC:, external Eastleigh fans encouraged to mingle with Lincoln City fans as the segregation fence is taken away due to the rain.
The FA Cup bringing fans together. There's very little to choose between these two Conference clubs today - Eastleigh are eighth, Lincoln 13th.
In August 2013, the Hertfordshire town of Hemel Hempstead earned the unenviable title of "Britain's ugliest town".
Today their football club, currently plying their trade in the Conference South, visit League Two side Bury hoping to cause an FA Cup upset.
To try and boost the town's reputation, here are five facts about Hemel Hempstead you may not know:
Actor Roger Moore lived there in the 1960s before he became famous for his role as James Bond.
Former world number one golfer Luke Donald and Olympic gymnast Max Whitlock both hail from the town.
King Henry VIII - between his third and fourth wives - granted the town its charter in 1539.
It claims to have Britain's first purpose-built multi-storey car park.
Hemel Hempstead Town are appearing in the FA Cup first round proper for the first time since 1938, when they lost 2-1 to Bromley. Back then, they were known as Apsley and were playing in the superbly-named Spartan League.

Ryman Premier side East Thurrock United are one of the teams hoping to cause an upset today when they take on Hartlepool, a team ranked 60 places above them in the football pyramid.
The Football League's bottom club include Marlon Harewood up front today, and he knows the FA Cup well, having finished as runner-up with West Ham in 2006.
Ahead of today's first-round tie, Harewood has been sharing his memories of that run with BBC Sport.
A few of the Doncaster Rovers supporters, perhaps understandably, do not look happy with the timing of today's postponement. A lot of them are remaining in the ground and some are in arguments with the police and stewards at Woodspring Stadium.
We've been asking for your favourite from a selection of FA Cup goals and there's a clear winner, with Ryan Giggs' memorable solo effort against Arsenal in 1999 getting 34.2% of the vote.
Thanks for getting involved.
So we have lost two ties to the weather - Mansfield Town v Concord Rangers and Weston-super-Mare v Doncaster Rovers.
But 25 ties remain, and we are less than 20 minutes away from kick-off.
So, with 21 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time at Woodspring Stadium, the tie between Weston-super-Mare and Doncaster Rovers is called off.
The majority of the surface looked in good shape, but a couple of areas in the two goalmouths looked really boggy, so it comes as no real surprise.
Doncaster's supporters have done a 400-mile round trip for nothing.
East Thurrock United are hoping to defeat Hartlepool United, the Football League's bottom club, in the FA Cup first round today and will aim to do so with the help of in-form striker Sam Higgins.
He scored a hat-trick for the Ryman Premier side in their 7-1 thrashing of Bath City in the fourth qualifying round, but he was also booked in that match.
East Thurrock believed that it was his fifth yellow card of the season, which would have ruled him out of today's tie, but the club later found they had made an administrative error and it was, in fact, only his fourth booking of the campaign.

The FA Cup is often the only place that players can parade their talents and possibly earn a dream move to a club at a higher level, as Kevin Keegan knows only too well.
The ex-England captain told BBC Surrey: "All these non-league players going in should see it as an opportunity. It will raise their profile a little bit. If you are playing a Football League side, there will be scouts at the game on the lookout for talent - lads who maybe failed somewhere and have suddenly found something or lads who have never been given a chance.
"That's what happened to me. I got spotted by Bill Shankly playing for Scunthorpe in a first-round replay against Tranmere Rovers at Goodison Park (in 1970-71). The FA Cup got me my move to Liverpool."
Just over three years later, Keegan was scoring for the Reds in their 1974 FA Cup final win over Newcastle United at Wembley.
Frustration for the players of Conference South side Concord Rangers, who will have to wait for their chance to upset their League Two hosts Mansfield because of a waterlogged pitch at Field Mill.
BBC Essex's Glenn Speller, external has tweeted a picture of the Concord players inspecting the pitch - and even from that distance, there are clearly one or two visible patches of water.
John Gregory has played for QPR and managed Aston Villa in past FA Cup finals, losing on both occasions. Today he is in charge of Crawley for their first-round tie with Yeovil.
Both teams have excellent FA Cup pedigrees, with Crawley twice making it to the last 16 in recent seasons and famously giving Manchester United a fright at Old Trafford in 2011 when they were still a non-league club.
Recalling his own memories of the competition, Gregory told BBC Sussex: "As a kid I was a Spurs fan. In 1961 I was seven and saw my team in the FA Cup final. I just fell in love with it.
"When I finally played in it in 1982, against Tottenham, it was just a schoolboy dream. I was 29. There are players who are much better than me that have never played in it and have missed their chance."
The FA Cup first round gives us an excuse - not that we needed much of one - to reminisce over memorable games from years gone by.
In 2005, the Scholars Ground was nearly the scene of one of the most famous upsets in FA Cup history when Chasetown of the Midland Football Alliance took on Oldham in the first round.
In front of 3.2m watching on TV, Nicky Harrison's volley gave the non-league side a shock lead, only for the former FA Cup semi-finalists to draw level and beat them in a replay.
Steve Wilson, Match of the Day's commentator that day, has revisited the tie which thrust a little-known Staffordshire town into the limelight.
