Farsley Celtic will have a huge home following for their first appearance in the first-round proper of the FA Cup for 32 years.

This time - unlike switching to nearby Elland Road, as they did in 1974 when they faced Tranmere Rovers - they will be staging the tie at their home ground Throstle Nest.

"Figures in the region of 1,300 were mentioned last time I asked how many tickets we had sold from our allocation," said Celts boss Lee Sinnott.

"It is important to remember that it is an all-ticket game but, given the fact that it is on a Sunday when nothing much else is going on, we could have a lot of people taking advantage of the fact that they can buy their tickets late.

"Our administration department will probably be making provision for sales right up until mid-day on Sunday.

"I hope any floaters from Leeds United, Bradford City, Huddersfield Town and Halifax Town - who will have all played the day before - will come along. Not just to take in the big cup tie against Football League opponents but to see what we are about.

"Maybe they will like what they see, identify with the quality, make us their second club and come along for Conference North games when their first-choice clubs are away.

"This is what runs to the first-round proper are all about. It isn't just a big pay day, it is about raising the profile of your club."

Farsley were hoping they would know who their possible opponents in the second round were before they even faced MK Dons.

That won't be the case but they will still be in the draw as an either or'.

"We understood the draw for the second round would be on Saturday at teatime but we have now been told that it will be held at 4pm on Sunday," added Sinnott.

"We kick off an hour earlier so it should be taking place just as we kick off the second half.

"We are definitely underdogs - but so were Southend when they faced Man United."
