Both sides will hope to progress to the Second Round - after both losing in the first round to non-league opposition last season. Town lost 1-0 at Exeter whilst Rovers lost in replay to Carlisle, who were eventually promoted from the Conference.

There is only one win between the two sides - with the Pirates just having the edge, with 13 wins to Town’s 12. The sides have only met once in the FA Cup before - way back 96 years ago in 1909 when Town lost 2-0 at Blundell Park.

Last Meeting | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Town’s win at Bristol Roves at the start of the season began a run of form away from home which still sees the Mariners undefeated on their travels. Town went behind just after half time, but after missing a series of chances, Town turned the game around with goals from Martin Gritton and a 88th minute goal from Rob Jones.
