 Leeds United will travel to Edgar Street for the first round |
Officials at Hereford United are preparing for a possible sell-out game after being handed a home tie against in-form Leeds in the FA Cup. The League One side will travel to Edgar Street for the first-round game on Friday, 9 November at 1945 GMT.
Coach John Trewick told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "I'd be surprised if we don't get close to a capacity crowd.
"In the first round, we'd be looking for an easier draw, but let's bring it on - it's a mouth-watering prospect."
Both clubs will also receive a payment of �75,000 from the FA's broadcast fund after the match was moved to the Friday evening for live television coverage.
"That would be the icing on the cake financially for us. I can't see a more attractive draw in this round of the Cup," Trewick said before the TV games were announced.
"We could go and beat them - giant-killing acts are the lifeblood of the FA Cup."
The other televised game is Torquay's south-west derby against Yeovil, which will be live on BBC TV on Sunday, 11 November.
