ACCRINGTON Stanley are set to cash in on their FA Cup run for the second time this season.
After battling to earn a replay thanks to a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on Saturday, Sky Sports will show the match live at the Interlink Express Stadium next Monday (kick-off 7.45pm).
Ticket details have yet to be finalised, but Sky have confirmed each club will receive £50,000.
Reds' chairman Eric Whalley said: "I'd never even been involved with the club that had got to the first round until this season so everything else is a bonus.
"But just when you thought it can't get any better, it does.
"If we beat Bournemouth then obviously we have another home game to look forward to against Colchester and we have every chance of getting through."
Whalley and Stanley manager John Coleman were listening to the draw with the squad on the team coach as they made their way back from Bournemouth yesterday afternoon.
"You could have heard a pin drop as the draw was being made," Whalley continued.
"Initially we were a bit disappointed because we wanted a plum tie but, once you think about it, we'll have every chance if we get past Bournemouth."
