In 18 days' time, Curzon Ashton will host Cambridge United in the FA Cup first round.

It's the first time in six years that the Nash have reached this stage of the competition.

The game, which so far is scheduled to take place on Saturday 5th November, is expected to attract a massive crowd to the Tameside Stadium.

As well as £41,000 and a place in the second round up for grabs, the tie also provides Curzon with further national exposure.

We went down to the Tameside Stadium on Monday evening to watch the draw and spoke to chairman Wayne Salkeld, manager Adam Lakeland, and midfielder Sam Walker to get their reaction, views on the season so far, and the important roles the fans have played in the club's success so far.
