Spalding United are in the Southern League Premier Central.
Last season they just missed out on the playoffs finishing 7th
They have made a good start to this season
Their current position is 5th : P5, W3, D1, L1, F9, A5 Points 10
They have played all 5 of their opening matches away from home
They beat Stamford 3-0 in their last match.
Spalding United aren't playing at home due to delays in installing a new artificial playing surface at their Sir Halley Stewart ground.
Hence - No replay at Spalding

I read their 4G pitch was stuck on a boat somewhere between Rotterdam and China!

This has to be one of the biggest games in the clubs history.
The fa cup genarates big money for little clubs like us.
Don't know how much it will make us if we win.
Come on ilson play like we did on bank holiday Monday and we will be in the hat for the next round.
