The FA Cup 1st round returns to (borders!) SE9 in November.
Isthmian Premium team Cray Wanderers will play Stockport County at Flamingo Park, Sidcup Road on Sunday 8 November at 2.15pm at the 1,300 capacity ground. County are top of League One, four tiers higher than Wanderers in the football pyramid.
The game will be televised live by TNT and BBC 2. Tickets go on sale on Monday.
In 2023, Cray Valley - whose home is in Middle Park Avenue - took Charlton Athletic to a replay in Round 1 - transmitted live on BBC. They went down 1 - 6 - having drawn 1-1 at the Valley - but earned a substantial bonus, much spent on the ground infrastructure. Last year they suffered a relegation, having been on the verge of another promotion the year previous.
Wanderers, of the Isthmian Premier League, beat Bedford on penalties on Wednesday in the 4th qualifying round to earn the tie against Stockport. They beat Chippenham in the 3rd qualifying round, Maidstone (after a replay) in round 2 and Lewes in round 1. They sit just above the relegation zone of the Isthmian Premier League with average attendances of 786 this season. They are in the third year at their permanent home at Flamingo Park after a previously nomadic existence and long planning wrangle to secure the site.

ELTHAM STATION OVER-CHARGING: Refunds will be automatic, say TfL.
A TfL spokesperson said: “Due to a loss of communication with the card readers at Eltham station, there have in recent days been issues where customers using pay as you go with contactless may have been overcharged for their journeys if they entered or exited at the station.
"We're very sorry to any customers affected by this and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. We will automatically refund any customers impacted by this as soon as communication is restored.
"Any customers who believe they have not received an automatic refund within five working days and feel they have still been incorrectly charged can check their journey history via the TfL website or contact TfL’s customer services.”
Additional information
Not all customers who use Eltham station will be impacted by this as TfL implemented measures to try and mitigate by having any incomplete journeys to or from Eltham be automatically completed where possible to reduce the number of maximum fares being issued. Oyster customers are also not affected by this

A crackdown on new shared houses - HMOS - is coming into force in the borough.
A proposal for a six bed HMO in Halons Road - off Footscray Road - is set to be turned down by the borough's Planning Board next week, the first application of the rule.
The new rule will mean that proposals for HMOs in houses under 130sq m in floor space will be turned down. This will take in the majority of houses across SE9, the measurement applies to the original - rather than the extended - dimensions.
The change was foreshadowed in the draft Local Plan, due to be approved next year, but officers are able to introduce it earlier as no opposition to ther proposal was received in the recent consultation.
It will mean plans for HMOs in Dairsie Road in Eltham and Montbelle Road and Sidcup Road in New Eltham are also unlikely to go ahead.
It is understood that the main concerns, as well as the loss of family dwellings and disruption to neighbourhoods, is the poor standard of accommodation which can result from concerting smaller houses into multiple units.
New rules will come in to prevent over-concentration of HMOs in neighbourhoods.
