Brackley Town to visit League One Stockport in next round of FA Cup

Brackley Town will make a visit to face League One side Stockport County in the Second Round of the FA Cup.

Having defeated National League outfit Braintree Town in the first round, the Saints’ reward will be a trip to face the League One side at Edgeley Park.

The tie will be played on the weekend around Saturday November 30th, with the specific tie date, time and ticket details to be confirmed in due course.

The meeting will be Brackley’s first encounter with Stockport since the 2018/19 season, which came at a time when the two sides were in the National League North together.

Stockport advanced after beating National League side Forest Green Rovers 2-1 after extra-time in the previous round. The Hatters currently sit in 10th position in the third tier table, having won last season’s League Two title and in the process earning a second promotion in three seasons during the 2023/24 campaign.

Brackley have managed to draw with or beat Stockport in each of their six meetings before Stockport’s promotion out of the National League North, with the most recent meeting seeing Brackley win 1-0 back in March 2019. The last time Stockport recorded a win over the Northamptonshire-based club came in 2017, when they were 3-0 winners at Brackley’s St James Park.
