Telford bring forward FC United of Manchester fixture

AFC Telford United have successfully brought forward a league match in order to avoid another blank weekend.

Rob Smith's men were originally set to take on Brackley Town at New Bucks Head on Saturday, October 15 but the fixture will be played at a later date due to the Saints' progression in the FA Cup.

The Bucks, who did not have a game this past weekend due to FA Cup fixtures taking place, will play a National League North fixture on that date though, against FC United of Manchester on home soil (3pm).

The fixture has been brought forward from Saturday, February 4 2017 due to both teams no longer being in the FA Cup.

Telford went out in the second qualifying round, and United bowed out of the competition after losing a third qualifying round replay to Harrogate Town on Tuesday.
