It’s back to the Salford Van Hire Gigg Lane Stadium for the first time this season, with The Shakers welcoming Curzon Ashton on Tuesday evening.
After a goalless draw at Redcar Athletic on Saturday, Anthony Johnson’s men will be hoping to claim their first win of the season in front of a home crowd.
Our opposition started their season in winning ways last time out, beating Alfreton Town 1-0 at home on Saturday Afternoon
In Opposition – Curzon Ashton
Nicknamed “The Nash”, Curzon Ashton were founded in 1963 following a merger between Curzon Road Methodists FC and Ashton Amateurs FC.
With a capacity of 4,000, their home ground (Tameside Stadium) was opened in 2005 by Sir Alex Ferguson, with a friendly also played against a Manchester United XI.
The stadium has a nod to world cup triumphs, with statues of tournament champions Geoff Hurst, Jimmy Armfield and Simone Perrotta, all of whom having a link to the area.
Curzon have a recent history of FA Cup success, reaching the FA second round proper, a 4-3 thriller that ended in defeat to AFC Wimbledon.
