TICKETS to Warrington Town's FA Cup First Round Proper clash with Exeter City on Friday night have sold out.

Queues built up at Cantilever Park this morning and all available tickets were sold within three hours.

Some who queued up missed out and may have to settle for watching the game live on BBC2 instead.

However, Town are hoping further tickets may become available later in the week, but this depends on Exeter City not selling out their allocation.

As fans queued up for tickets to arguably the biggest home match in Warrington Town's history, it was clear to see Friday's encounter goes deeper than a football match - it is set to grip the whole town.

The Yellows are set to welcome Exeter City to Cantilever Park for the club's inaugural FA Cup first round proper match in their 65-year history.

Generations, both young and old, came together to get their hands on the hottest ticket in town, and those present acknowledged the effect it could have on Warrington.

"It is fabulous for the town, Friday will be a special occasion," said 52-year-old Andrew Allison, from Stockton Heath.

"I think everybody can get behind the team and make a huge difference, it can really put the club on the map."

David Bolton, from Cinnamon Brow, managed to get himself and his son tickets in time and is eagerly anticipating the occasion.

"This is historical for Warrington and it is going to be a bit surreal,” he said.

"The town fits logistically between two of the country's biggest clubs, Liverpool and Manchester United, so it is a shame the club doesn’t have more interest.

"Friday is not just a football thing, it is a thing for all of the town.”

Another lucky fan was Sue Mitchell, of Padgate, who managed to get her hands on four tickets, including one for son and Warrington Town youth player, Mick Mitchell.

"I’m used to watching the youth games more so it will be different," she said.

Before selling out, fans lined up to secure one of the 2125 tickets allocated to home supporters, with 375 for the travelling fans.

One man who will be pulling out the prayers on matchday is club chaplain, Reverend Lee Gilbert.

Having been associated with the team for around 6 years, Rev Gilbert, from Latchford Baptist Church, admits Friday's pre-match ritual may prove to be difficult.

"I won't be doing anything differently than normal," he said.

"Before matches, I usually walk around the pitch but with all the people due here, that may not be possible."
