Chasetown boss Charlie Blakemore has demanded another heroic FA Cup performance from his players tonight - but urged the crowd to play their part against Cambridge City.

The Scholars defied the odds again by drawing 1-1 at the Blue Square South side on Saturday as they bid for a place in the third qualifying round.

"Saturday was one of the best performances in my three years as manager," said Blakemore.

The Scholars are hoping for a 500-plus crowd at Church Street to bridge the two-league gap and roar them through.

Blakemore added: "We are big underdogs again and we want the crowd to be 12th man.

"They were brilliant at the weekend and they can make a real difference again. We have to make it as intimidating as possible for Cambridge."

Right wing-back Paul Spacey (ankle) is a doubt.
