Last updated : 03 December 2006 By Stray Shots Team
Aldershot or Basingstoke Town will face League One side Blackpool in the Third Round of the FA Cup.The draw which was made today, didn't throw up any money-spinning ties for any of the non-leagues clubs who are left in this seasons competition which can only be a disappointment for those involved.
The tie will do little to inspire either Shots or Dragon supporters in the replay and both sides will just be looking forwards to playing in the Third Round against League opposition.
The Seasiders are mid-table at present and are beginning to find form, however are only averaging around 6000 supporters at home.
The match is due to be played on Saturday 6th January – however prior to that, there is the little matter of the replay at the Camrose to get through on Tuesday 12th December and with both sides looking poor in yesterdays tie, both will have a lot to work on between now and then.
