Behind the scenes at Whitley Bay
Whitley Bay boss Ian Chandler has revealed the lure of a trip to Wembley has dominated preparations for their FA Vase semi-final against Lowestoft Town. With the first-leg taking place on Saturday, Chandler admitted focusing his players away from the prospect of a Wembley final has been difficult.
"We keep trying not to think about it," he told BBC Look North.
"To be the first North East team to play at Wembley in a competitive match is something the lads are all after."

With such an opportunity at their feet, Chandler believes the players are taking the games as seriously as possible.
"With it being Good Friday, we've all got the day off work, we're leaving Whitley Bay about half past two and get to Peterbrough about seven," he said.
"We'll have a nice quiet night before the game and then we're stopping down on the Saturday so we can have a bit of fun after the game."
