Town's FA Cup first-round tie against Bracknell at Bottom Meadow has been confirmed for Monday 7th November with a 7.45pm kick-off for live coverage on ITV4.
The match will be the final tie of the round with ticketing details still to be confirmed but with Town obliged to be given 15 per cent under FA rules. The capacity of Bottom Meadow for the game will be set somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 following a dafety audit.
Manager Kieran McKenna says he's looking forward to the trip to Berkshire to take on the Southern League Premier Division South side.
"I think it’s a really good cup tie," he said. "Of course, we saw the reaction of the Bracknell players and supporters and that was fantastic to see. It’s what the FA Cup’s about, they’ve done very well to get to this level.
"When you’re in this round we’re one of the clubs that the teams from the lower reaches will be hoping to get. It’s a great draw for them and a good draw for us as well. I’m looking forward to it, it will have the feel of a proper FA Cup tie and we know we’re going to have to respect the game and go down there and do well.
"I think a good cup tie all-round and our focus at the moment’s on the league but we’ll look forward to that game when the time comes.”
