SHEFFIELD FC will see the magic of the FA Cup converted into hard cash in the next round.

The Dronfield club says they have been asked to send a whopping 1,000 tickets by FC United of Manchester.

Exactly how many the Bury-based outfit will get for the September 12 battle is another matter. "We don't want to turn this into a home game for them," a member of staff said.

Sheffield FC got through the preliminary round with a 4-0 win over Flixton at the Bright Finance Stadium.
