Whitby Town One Step From FA Cup First Round Return

Whitby Town are hoping to reach the First Round of the FA Cup for the first time in 20 years.

The Blues host Chelmsford City of National South tonight at the Towbar Express Stadium.

Town went 2-0 up in Essex on Saturday before being pegged back in the second half.

Manager Nathan Haslam has called on the town to come out in force this evening:

Whitby will be rewarded with a visit to League One side Bristol Rovers in Round 1 should they make it past Chelmsford.

Paul Connolly from Whitby Town's commercial team says that's a big prospect for the club and will make for an exciting atmosphere at the Turnbull Ground tonight.

Paul says they are hoping tonight crowd will top the 1,000 mark.

Paul says everyone at the club is aware of the size of the prize on offer tonight but says they are focused on tonight's challenge.

Kick off tonight is at 7:45pm and while tickets will be available on the night the club are strongly advising all supporters to buy in advance as queues on the night are expected to be large.

Ticket's can be purchased at https://whitbytownfc.ktckts.com/event/wtfacche1710/whitby-town-vs-chelmsford-city
