FC United are on a revenge mission after drawing Salford City in the second round proper of the FA Vase.

Salford ended the Rebels’ 100 per cent start to the season last week with a 2-1 league win in a match which attracted 4,058 fans to the Willows.

Now the North West Counties first division promotion-chasers clash again on November 18, and Salford are hoping to make a decision on the venue by the end of the week.

Said secretary Bill Taylor: “Our own Moor Lane ground is an option, but the problem is that we are only licensed for 1,400 and after last week that is nowhere near enough.”

Salford City Reds are said to have been happy with the staging of the match at their stadium, despite a tense atmosphere between the two sets of fans, so a return to the Willows is also a possibility.
