RADCLIFFE Boro declared themselves delighted with the draw for the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup which gave them a home tie against Nationwide Conference high-fliers Chester City writes Steve Bott

Boro chairman Bernard Manning Junior said: "It's a fantastic draw. We are all pleased with it."

With Chester averaging gates of 3-4,000 at present, Boro officials are hoping for a gate of around the 1,500 mark for the tie on Saturday October 26.

Victory would be a real booster, with £20,000 up for grabs and a place in the first round proper, but at least Boro should be guaranteed another tidy sum from the gate receipts if the game goes to form.

Boro manager Kevin Glendon said: "We are absolutely delighted with it.

"It's one of those draws where you could either do with someone beatable at home or a decent pay day and I think we've got both.

"Chester are going well and looking like getting back into the Football League, but we've got lads who have been about and want to step up, so it's a great opportunity for us.

"We hadn't reached the first round of the FA Cup for 50 years, so if we can do it twice in the last three years it would be a fantastic achievement."
