Tomorrow the magic of the FA Vase hits the Daren Persson Stadium as we welcome Billingham Town in the second qualifying round.
Our visitors for tomorrow’s game got past Chester-le-Street Town with a solitary goal courtesy of Harry Close in the previous round.
The Robins were also away from home in the previous round, with a trip to Teeside to take on Redcar Athletic, a convincing 4-0 win with goals from Will McCamley, Lewis Suddick and Ryan Carr x2.
The last time the two sides faced each other at the Daren Persson Stadium, the Robins ran out 4-1 winners with goals from Dan Wilson x2, Tom Bexton and Craig Spooner, Danny Boyle replying for the visitors.
