PADIHAM manager Steve Wilkes has appealed to local football fans to come out and support his side on Saturday as they face big spending FC United in the FA Vase.

The Manchester side are expected to bring up to 1400 fans to the Arbories and Wilkes fears a poor home support could cost them before a ball has even been kicked.

He said: "It'd be nice if we could get Blackburn and Burnley supporters down.

"They're going to have about 1400 fans to our 200 which means they'll have a huge psychological advantage."
