Tough tie, but we're in the last 64, so no-one was going to be easy. Currently 6th in the Ebac Northern League Division One (Step 5), the same Division as Darlington 1883.

A long trip, but it'll be a great weekend, can't wait !! A horrible journey home if we lose.........so we'd better go there and win eh?

It'll be hard, but with the lads we've got I truly believe we can do it.

Better get your orders in for the merchandise and wrap up well, it could be cold :D

Given the record of Northern League clubs in this competition, and the high placing of Ashington in the league, this would be a proper cup upset.

From a fans perspective - not players! - I think we have the expect a very tough game of football. But anything can happen on the day.

Ridiculous distance to travel.

Best bet is probably East Coast Mainline from Peterborough. Doable in under 3 hours i'd have thought.

I'd read on another website that Northern League sides are beat avoided in the Vase as they're often very, very good. If memory serves I think Ashington had a good FA Cup run last year, possibly losing to a BSP side?

Hopefully the players will be allowed a stay over and a night out in Newcastle. They deserve it whatever the result :)
