The Whites have been drawn at home to a League 1 side and former Premier League club Blackpool in the second round of the FA Cup, which is due to take place on the weekend of Saturday, December 5.

The draw was made on Monday evening, November 9, with the Whites rewarded for their impressive progress in the competition with a mouthwatering tie at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium.

The club announced the news shortly after the draw, telling supporters: "The draw has been made and the Whites have been drawn against former Premier League side Blackpool at the Ray Mac in the Second Round of the FA Cup."

The tie represents one of the biggest cup occasions Salisbury have enjoyed in recent years and offers supporters the chance to see their side take on one of the most recognisable names in the English Football League.

Blackpool spent a season in the Premier League in 2010/11 and remains a club with a rich FA Cup history and strong national profile. The Seasiders currently compete in the English Football League and were among the League One and League Two clubs that entered the competition in the first round proper.

Salisbury booked their place in the second round after a commanding 6-0 victory over Sholing FC at the Ray Mac on Saturday, November 7, extending their memorable cup run and setting up the prospect of another bumper crowd.

The second round is the final stage before Premier League and Championship clubs enter the competition, meaning victory against Blackpool would send Salisbury into the third-round draw and potentially set up a dream tie against one of English football's biggest teams.

Ticket details, fixture arrangements and kick-off information are expected to be confirmed by Salisbury FC in the coming days, with supporters likely to snap up tickets for what promises to be one of the biggest matches staged at the Ray Mac in recent memory.
