Burnley set to take on Franchise?

This time round we've been drawn at home as we come into the competition at the 3rd round stage and we will come up against either a non-league side or the club who have no right to be playing in the league in the first place.

The draw has paired us with either Franchise or Fisher Athletic, and these two will be meeting next Wednesday at the National Hockey Stadium to determine who wins through to a tie at the Turf.

Both these sides just about reached the 2nd round with Fisher seeing off Hemel Hempstead Town after extra time and Franchise also needed the extra thirty minutes to beat Lewes.

There is no date as yet for the tie, we will have to wait until next week to see which team we will be playing, but the tie must be played on or before Saturday 16th December.
