Chorley have a cash incentive when they travel to Tadcaster on Saturday for the FA Cup preliminary round tie.

The Magpies have not collected much cash on their FA Cup and Trophy travels but this season there is a chance of a substantial windfall.

An away tie in the preliminary round against a club from the Northern Counties East League is a potential banana skin, but last weekend's impressive start to the season has boosted Chorley's hopes of getting past Tadcaster Albion.

It was the Magpies' biggest opening day win for 34 years - they hammered Matlock Town 8-0 in August 1971 - in the Northern Premier League days before the formation of the Alliance Premier (now the Conference).

Ironically, that was Chorley's last season in the NPL for 11 years - they resigned in 1972, stepping down into the Cheshire County League, where they stayed until being voted back at the NPL annual meeting in 1982.

The reward of getting over this weekend's cup hurdle will be a prize of £1,000 from the FA Cup pool and a home tie against Pontefract Collieries or Bishop Auckland in the first qualifying round on September 10 - with a £2,250 bonus for the winners.

The cash goes up for those still in the competition after that, with £3,750 for the second qualifying round winners and £5,000 up for grabs in the third qualifier.

The 32 non-league clubs who win fourth qualifying round matches and reach the first round proper will each pick up £10,000.

Chorley are hoping that Bishop Auckland's tie at Pontefract won't go to a replay as the North East side, who were in the Unibond Premier Division last season, are due to visit Victory Park on Monday afternoon - an attractive Bank Holiday fixture.
