HOME is definitely where the heart is for Altrincham's FA Cup campaign, with the Robins drawing a fourth successive home tie.

They face UniBond promotion rivals Lancaster City in the first round at Moss Lane on November 17, with another £20,000 up for grabs for the winner.

So far, Alty have banked a cool £37,500 from their cup exploits in prize money alone, with an impressive 1,300 fans watching their memorable 3-0 defeat of Nuneaton Borough on Saturday.

The club will be hoping for another bumper gate against Lancaster, who beat Vauxhall Motors 1-0 in Tuesday night's replay.

Alty manager Bernard Taylor said, "Lancaster will be tough, there's no doubt about that.

"The lads will have to get themselves up for it, like they did for the Nuneaton match."

l Robins notched up another three league points on Tuesday night, riding their luck against a strong Accrington Stanley side.

They netted both their first half chances, through the impressive Gary Scott and Rod Thornley.

Thornley added his seventeenth goal of the season after the restart before Stanley pulled one back via Anthony Bowden.
