EVO-STIK Northern Premier League Stourbridge will be ferrying as many of their fans who can make it by coach to their Emirates FA Cup clash on the south coast.

Glassboys officials told fans at the weekend the club would be running supporters coaches to their first round clash at National League South side Whitehawk near Brighton on Saturday 5 November.

Return tickets are priced at £15 for club members and £20 for non-members and fans are being urged to book their seats this week to help the EVO-STIK NPL Premier Division club guage demand.

After broadcasters BBC and BT Sport finalised details of their Emirates FA Cup coverage this weekend, Stourbridge are in line for a £6,750 TV bonus, the Football Association's fee to clubs for showing highlights on a Saturday.

Gary Hackett's Glassboys reached the first round proper for the second successive season with a 3-1 win at EVO-STIK NPL top flight rivals Nantwich Town in the fourth and final qualifying round.
