15-10-23 : Harriers welcome Fleetwood Town to Aggborough in the FA Cup

The Harriers reward for beating Ashton Utd in the FA Cup yesterday is another home game, this time against Fleetwood Town, a team we used to play some seasons ago but went our separate ways when they got promoted into the Football League in 2012. Their highest finish was in league one in 2017 when they finished fourth.

At the moment they sit fourth from bottom of League One six points above bottom placed Cheltenham Town and three points below the team above them, Carlisle Utd.

A former players of theirs was Jamie Vardy and at the moment they have Kabongo Tshimanga with them on loan from Peterborough Utd but previously with fellow National League club Chesterfield and also the former Woking and Derby County centre forward Jack Marriott. We, of course, sold Jamille Matt to them for a decent price back in January 2013.

The game will be played on the weekend of November 4th but is unlikely to be shown on the TV when you have the likes of Chesterfield vs Portsmouth, Bolton vs Solihull Moors and Mansfield Town vs Wrexham up for grabs.
