Stourbridge boss Gary Hackett today warned Plymouth the Amblecote army are ready to crank up the heat.

The Glassboys are set for a 2,727 sell-out for tomorrow's FA Cup first-round replay after fans snapped up all the home tickets – leaving none on general sale.

The 4-0 thumping of Frome in the Southern League Premier Division maintained their unbeaten home league record – in front of 648 supporters.

And Hackett believes the War Memorial Ground is ready to rock for the visit of the League Two strugglers.

He said: "It's going to be a very hostile atmosphere. We've got very good home form and the atmosphere we'll have is going to be more of an advantage than travelling down to Plymouth.

"We're still underdogs but maybe the table has slightly turned because it's a home game. But we're under no illusions we're going to have to play to our best to pull off a result."
