Fancy joining us for an FA Cup away day at Easington Sports? Our matchday guide provides everything you need for the day, including previews, ticket information, hospitality details, and travel advice.
Preview:
Easington Sports v Bristol Manor Farm, Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round, 3:00pm kick-off.
Bristol Manor Farm has had a promising start to the season, even though they have yet to score in competitive play. New signing Louis Britton has been a standout since his debut against Melksham last Saturday, and he’s eager to find the net against Step 5 opposition.
We also caught up with first-team goalkeeper Seth Locke, who, like the rest of us, is excited to get started in the greatest cup competition.
“The FA Cup is always a special experience. The opportunity to advance and challenge ourselves against higher league teams in later rounds is really exciting. Hopefully, we can have another strong run this year and give the Farmy Army something to cheer about!”

Hospitality:
Just a 15 minute walk from Addison Road is The Easington. This could be the perfect stop off for away supporters looking to soak up the sun and enjoy some food and drink before making their way across to the ground. Food and drink will also be provided for our hosts, so make sure give them your support and enjoy what they have to offer across the afternoon.
Travel:
We are running a supporters coach to Easington Sports departing from The NL Services Stadium at 10:30am. Seats are priced at £15 per person and you can reserve your spot by texting Bill on 017915578053.
Fans can reach Easington Sports by train, though the journey is less straightforward, requiring three transfers after departing Bristol Temple Meads. First, take a train to Didcot Parkway, then continue to Oxford, and finally on to Banbury. Once in Banbury, it’s a 34-minute walk to the stadium. But as we put above, why not stop for a drink or a bite to eat en route?
