It is a tie which most Town fans will welcome - a chance to test our current team against local league opposition, against our neighbours, who have a former Mariners player-manager in charge, as well as a couple of ex-Town players on their staff in Paul Harsley and Tony Daws, and most of all, a chance for a bumper crowd, and hopefully a victory, with bragging rights locally, and the financial benefits of a cup run and an extra home game.
The game is set to take place on Saturday 9th or Sunday 10th of November, which means that the league game at home to Welling United will be postponed. We are awaiting to hear whether it will be selected to be televised, and whether that would mean a change to the expected 3pm kick-off time.
