The Cobblers' FA Cup First Round opponents will be Blue Square North side Fleetwood Town won through in the Fourth Qualifying Round on Tuesday night. Fleetwood saw off Kidderminster Harriers to win a place in the First Round proper at Sixfields on Saturday week.
The non league outfit entered the competition in the Second Qualifying Round, meaning that they have had to come through three rounds already to reach this stage of proceedings. The Fishermen had beaten Farsley Celtic and Vauxhall Motors before seeing off Kidderminster and will provide a potential banana skin for the Cobblers.
Memories of that awful day at Canvey Island and the replay at Basingstoke Town come to mind but it's a massive chance to reach Round Two for Sammo's team in the new Cobblers boss' first FA Cup encounter as manager.
