Massive FA Cup Away Day for Whitby Town

Whitby Town play in the first round of the FA Cup for the first time in 20 years later and will do so in an unusual kit.

They face the challenge of an away match at League One Bristol Rovers and due to both Whitby Town's home and away kits clashing with Bristol Rovers' home kit, the Seasiders will be wearing a limited-edition third shirt for this weekend's Emirates FA Cup clash.

Three supporters coaches are taking fans to the game and despite town only have an allocation of 500 tickets for the match they are expecting to make some noise at the Memorial Stadium.

Blues Chief Exec - Graham Hinchliffe - says it's a tough game for Bristol.

Town saw off National League South Side Chelmsford City in a 4th qualifying round replay to book their slot in the first round proper.

The win against Chelmsford netted Whitby £9,375 in prize money and today's trip to Bristol Rovers could bring even greater financial rewards for the club.

Chief Exec - Graham Hinchliffe - says playing away from home brings some financial benefits.
