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.

The last time we played against Spalding United was on their ground on Sat 5th March 2022 when we drew 0-0.
The last time we met at the NMG was 14th September 2021 when Ilkeston won by 5-0.
Both matches were in our 2021-22 season when we won promotion from the NPL Midland Division.
