Bridlington Town head into their second FA Cup replay of the season tonight with a FA Cup Preliminary Round Replay against West Auckland Town at the Mounting Systems Stadium.
After Saturday’s 2-2 draw in the North-East, the Seasiders will be hoping to get the victory and get to the First Qualifying round for the first time since 2021.
The winner of tonight’s clash will host either Wythenshawe Town Fc or Vauxhall Motors Fc at home in the next round of the competition.
Bridlington Manager Mike Thompson said,
“Come October we’ve played more FA Cup games then league games because we’ve played so many replays".
On the performance, Thompson added,
“We got lucky to get a draw out of that, it’s defiantly the worst we’ve played this season, in the second half we spent too much time in second gear, and I thought our passing was slow."
With the Seasiders playing so many replays, this means that they will have a backlog of league games, Ossett United away and Silsden at the Mounting Systems Stadium have both been rescheduled.
Tonight's opponents, West Auckland, currently sit 6th in the NFL Division one having played 5 games and sit on 9 points should they claim the victory over the seasiders, it will be their first time they have entered the qualifying round since 2008.
The last time the Queensgate men faced West Auckland in FA Cup action before these meetings was in August 2019 when the Seasiders ran out 3-1 victors.
Kick off at the Mounting Systems Stadium is at 8pm.
