Whitby Town Ready For League One FA Cup Challenge

Whitby Town face one of their biggest challenges in 20 years tomorrow with an away trip to League One Bristol Rovers in the first round of the Emirates FA Cup.

Nathan Haslam takes his Seasiders to the South West for a 3pm kick-off along with three coachloads of supporters.

Club Chief Exec, Graeme Hinchliffe, is optimistic about Town's chances.

Whitby were allocated 500 tickets for the game with 400 made available for pre-sales and 100 on the turnstiles.

Chief Exec – Graeme Hinchliffe – says it’s been a manic week at the club but says it’s been great to see the reaction from local people.

Graeme says playing a League One side will be tough but thinks Whitby are up to the challenge.
