FA VASE: BRIGG TOWN WILL HAVE HOME ADVANTAGE IN THE NEXT ROUND


Brigg Town Football Club will have a home tie in the next round of the FA Vase national knockout competition (sponsored by Isuzu).
And it's expected to generate the highest crowd of the season so far at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns).
The Zebras will host Harrogate Railway Athletic on Saturday, October 22.
This first round tie is scheduled to kick off at 3pm.
Brigg and Harrogate have already progrssed through the two qualifying rounds.
Both teams play in Toolstation Northern Counties East Division One and made the end-of-season play-offs in the spring without attaining promotion.
Our pictures show the play-off semi-final between Brigg and Harrogate, which the Yorkshire side won 2-1 on April 16.
North Ferriby then defeated Harrogate to secure a spot in the Premier Division for 2022/23.
The Brigg v Harrogate match in April was watched by 623 people, including a number cheering on the visitors.
So there's every prospect of another big turn-out for next month's encounter.
The Zebras will be hoping to stay on track against the Railwaymen in this season's FA Vase, having won this prestigious competition twice previously - triumphing in finals played at Wembley and West Ham.
