Town have enjoyed a refreshing 8 day break following their 5-1 FA Cup victory over Emley AFC.

They'll look to keep their tremendous form going, but against a good and dangerous opponent.

A call to opposition fans that Wilfrid's Club, just a short walk to the ground is offering member prices for away supporters for 2025/26 season.

We ask that anyone driving to the match parks respectfully and with residents in mind.

We have a big car park that accommodates roughly 95 cars on a first come first serve basis.

Pound for the ground will be back on sale on Saturday, following your incredible support on the club fund raiser at the beginning of this season.

The Opposition

Charnock Richard like to score goals, that's no secret.

With 12 goals inside their opening 4 league matches, they sit amongst the highest scores in the division.

With an attack force consisting of Nathan Nickeas, Fenton Davies and Luke Power, it's no surprise.

All 3 caused massive problems for Town last season.

But we all remember the 4-4.

Their squad also includes the Haydock brothers, Sky Sinclair, Gaz Peet and a host of others.

Former Town defender Cameron Gourley has also played every game at the heart of defence.

Taking everything into account, Monday has the makings of a classic.

As proven below, games between the sides produce goals.

Team News

Town have some weapons of their own though.

Liam Atkinson remains the top goalscorer in the FA Cup, with 8 goals across two rounds.

Connor High also scored his first two goals for Town against Emley, with his second being an absolute scorcher from distance.

Ryan McLean remains out.

Though he's thought to not be far off.

Same as Jack Arrowsmith, who is continuing his rehabilitation.
