Bulls Get FC United Trip In FA Cup


The Bulls will visit a Manchester United of sorts after drawing fans side FC United of Manchester in the FA Cup.

The FA Website reports the tie will take place on October 20th after the side created by Man Utd fans, angered by the TV companies constantly changing kick off times from 3pm on Saturday, beat Kendal Town 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.

They play on a ground familiar to Bulls fans, Bury's Gigg Lane, with the League One side scheduled to be away from home on the Saturday. 

Current Bulls loanee Phil Marsh is a former FCUM player, having spent the 2009/10 season with them. It is not currently clear whether either loanee has permission to play in the FA Cup.

There are eight all-Conference ties in the round amongst which are Kidderminster travelling to Grimsby, Luton visiting Cambridge, Wrexham facing Southport, Barrow facing Tamworth, and Telford facing Nuneaton.

Of the smaller sides, South Park have a home tie with either Dereham or the Met Police, and Blackfield & Langley travel to either Hitchin or Hastings.
