Pre-draw - Nantwich Town Manager Dave Cooke and colleagues await the draw from The Leopard Nantwich - AFC Fylde

Nantwich Town will host AFC Fylde in the FA Cup 1st Round Proper after tonight’s draw.

The Dabbers will be happy with a home tie and will fancy their chances at the Weaver Stadium.

They have already toppled Telford and King’s Lynn from higher leagues on their current cup run.

Boss Dave Cooke and several players and staff gathered in the Leopard pub on London Road tonight to watch the FA Cup draw live on BBC.

Lancashire side Fylde were in the Northern Premier League a few seasons ago, but have found it a struggle in the fifth tier where they lie third from bottom.

They recently sacked manager Dave Challinor, and are yet to make a permanent appointment as his replacement.

John Hills and Brett Ormerod are in temporary charge.

The match at the Weaver Stadium is likely to take place on Saturday November 9, but this is yet to be confirmed.

League Two neighbours Crewe Alexandra have bee drawn away at League One Accrington Stanley.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
