Brigg Town FC  will be playing Clipston at The Hawthorns this afternoon (Saturday, August 6).
Kick-off is 3pm for this FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round tie.
Admission is £6 (adults) and £4 concessions.
Best of luck to the Zebras who showed some good early season form.
How many years is it now since Brigg Town FC reached the FA Cup first round proper?
We think they played away to Tranmere Rovers.
In the round prior to that (fourth preliminary) we remember watching Brigg Town play, and lose, away to Lincoln City at Sincil Bank.
That was in the 1980s when we were working in the Scunthorpe Telegraph sports department.
How time flies!
