It’s the second of two back-to-back away games for AFC Fylde who make the trip to Hampshire on Tuesday night to face Aldershot Town.
It’s a quick turnaround for the Coasters who have had two tough, consecutive journeys after facing Yeovil on Saturday.
A last-minute strike meant the Coasters fell to a heartbreaking defeat in Somerset despite a strong performance across the 90 minutes.
The Coasters had a day to remember in the reverse fixture against Aldershot, with Fylde scoring five on a glorious day at Mill Farm.
Braces for Charlie Jolley and Gavin Massey alongside a Nick Haughton half-way line screamer sealed three points for Fylde back in October.
Opposition Dugout: Tommy Widdrington
In the opposing dugout this evening is former Southampton and Port Vale man Tommy Widdrington. The ex-midfielder is well experienced in both his playing and management career having played over 400 games before being in the dugout since 2009.
Starting out at Southampton where he made his debut, the Newcastle-born midfielder would go on to spend six years at St Mary’s before moving onto Grimsby Town.
From that move on, Widdrington stayed relatively North during his playing days, sporting the jersey of the likes of Grimsby, Port Vale, Hartlepool and Macclesfield Town.
After spending the final five years of his career at Salisbury City, the 52-year-old then moved into management with Salisbury.
A further five years followed in charge of Eastbourne Borough before taking caretaker charge at Bristol Rovers.
After returning to full-time management in 2021 with Kings Lynn, he spent two years there before taking over the Aldershot gig in April 2023.
