LANCASTER City boss Phil Wilson is calling on his troops to fire their way into the first round of the FA Cup in front of a bumper crowd as they face Scar-borough on Saturday.

The Dolly Blues have been handed a plum home draw against the Nationwide Conference outfit and believe they can progress.

But manager Phil Wilson wants as many people as possible at the Giant Axe to cheer his men towards glory.

"It's a massive day for us," says Wilson. "It is a hard tie but it is a winnable one and I want to see people at the ground because this will be a good tie.

"I was disappointed that we lost on Tuesday at Worksop but it was one of those games and we need to pick ourselves up against Scarborough. We are good enough to bounce back and I hope we can do that."

Jamie Murphy hurt his ankle on Saturday and faces a fitness test, while Ian Dawes could return if he comes through training. But Danny Stone is out.

Meanwhile, Morecambe boss Jim Harvey hopes his side can slide through their banana skin tie with Nationwide North outfit Hucknall Town at Christie Park.

The Shrimps are red hot favourites to progress into the first round proper but Harvey is well aware that Hucknall will not be making the journey just for a day out by the sea.

He hopes his men can get over the shock of their eight-match unbeaten run ending in last Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to Stevenage Borough.

"If we play to our potential we should win," says Harvey. "But I have had them watched and they have a couple of players who we need to be aware of."
