Challinor: Fylde Ready To Make History

A big crowd is expected with the National League side aiming to put on a show, writes Tom Feaheny.

"We have got to make it seem as normal as possible - this is a big opportunity for many of my players to prove they can play in the Football League," Challinor told the Blackpool Gazette.

"Whether you're down at non-league level or up at the very top, ultimately it is all about playing in big games in front of big crowds and TV, and if you can't get excited about that then nothing will ever motivate you.

"It's great to have a nationwide audience, and this is the one competition in which we have the opportunity as a group to test ourselves against Football League players, so we have to go out and take it head-on."

The Coasters have impressed in recent weeks in the Vanarama National League and aim to continue their good run of form with the leagues top scorer Danny Rowe aiming to get another goal for the Coasters.
