Ian Rowe's Khalsa will train at the Championship club's state-of-the-art facilities tomorrow night, ahead of their fairytale fourth qualifying round tie with FC United of Manchester.

The Midland League Premier Division side, who are based at the Aspray Arena, formerly Noose Lane, will hope the surroundings will see them in the best shape to take on the might of fan-owned FC United of Manchester.

Rowe said: "We're really delighted to have the opportunity to use the facilities at Wolves, which are generally regarded as some of the best around, ahead of the big game.

"Our preparation for the match is much the same as normal but having the chance to experience something like this adds a touch of class to the whole thing.

"Thanks to the Wolves for letting us train, it's a really nice gesture on their part. I know Lee Wherton, our captain and Tim Jackson, our full-back will be particularly delighted about this!"

Wolves offered similar services to Chasetown in the 2007-08 season, when Championship side Cardiff visited the Scholars Ground .
