  1. Is this Tamworth's biggest ever game?published at 12:20 Greenwich Mean Time

    Tamworth v Tottenham (12.30 GMT)

    Well, yes - but they do have some experience of the FA Cup third round in these parts.

    This is Tamworth’s fourth appearance in the FA Cup third round - they went out at this stage in 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2011-12.

    The last of those saw their only meeting with a top-flight side in the FA Cup - they lost 2-0 to an Everton side managed by David Moyes.

    Football is marvellously circular sometimes.

    Hull 0-0 Doncaster

    Hull are dominating. A cross comes in for Abu Kamara but his volley is straight at Donny stopper Teddy-Sharman-Lowe.

    Doncaster haven't won on the road since they beat Fleetwood at the start of December by the way. They're lacking confidence.

    I think we might see one of the biggest FA cup upsets today - and see Spurs beat Tamworth.

    Hull 0-0 Doncaster

    It's a choppy pitch at Hull. The home side try to start a move through the middle but the ball gets caught in the turf and the attack comes to an end.

  9. Tamworth v Tottenham already 'part of town history'published at 12:11 Greenwich Mean Time

    Tamworth v Tottenham (12.30 GMT)

    BBC Sport

    Once upon a time Tamworth was a place arguably best known for its motorway service station, its pigs, its artificial ski slope, being the birthplace of a former Prime Minister and somewhere you pass through on the railway.

    It finally took a dream FA Cup third-round tie with eight-time former winners Tottenham Hotspur to change all that.

    No more talk about Tamworth Pigs, Sir Robert Peel and the Snowdome.

    No matter how Sunday lunchtime's tie with Spurs turns out on their all-weather pitch at The Lamb, Tamworth boss Andy Peaks says: "We're part of the town's history now."

    There has, of course, been a lot more to the Lambs' progress from footballing silence to what is still, outside the Premier League's very topmost echelons, the most eagerly-awaited weekend in the English football calendar.

    Three seasons ago, when former Rushden & Diamonds boss Peaks took over at Tamworth, they were languishing in tier seven - the Southern League Premier Central. He saved them from the drop, won promotion a year later and then a second promotion in May to win National League North and return to the fifth tier.

    He also readily admits, never mind what happens on Sunday, that staying in the National League this season "will be my biggest achievement in football".

    Hull 0-0 Doncaster

    Corner for Hull, time to bring the big men up.

    The ball is whipped in for Finley Burns who wallops it on the volley but his shot flies well over.

    Burns was claiming his shirt was pulled.

    My first third-round FA Cup tie was West Ham v Swindon at Upton Park in 1967. Geoff Hurst scored a hat-trick for the Hammers, but a Don Rogers inspired Swindon earned a 3-3 draw and then won the replay 3-1.

  12. 'Tickets for club's biggest game are priceless'published at 12:08 Greenwich Mean Time

    Tamworth v Tottenham (12.30 GMT)

    The row over ticket prices for today's fixture is unfair, according to the Tamworth supporters club chairman.

    Some fans took to social media to complain about the £42 cost for an adult to sit in the main stand, about double the price of a typical matchday ticket, for the game against Tottenham.

    Scott Farrington, 34, a lifelong supporter of the National League club, said the fixture marked the biggest game in the town's history and that the tickets were "priceless".

    "You can't put a price on these tickets in my opinion," he said. "We're playing Tottenham Hotspur, a top-six Premier League team. We're a tiny club, we need the financial revenue to keep the club in this league."

    Not everyone agrees with the price rise. Christian James, a contributor to The Non-League Paper, called the situation "awful".

    "My thoughts with regular matchgoers and in particular families just after Christmas," he wrote on X. "I enjoyed my trip to Tamworth last season and am looking forward to returning in a few weeks but this sours the goodwill and support from wider football."

    Sad to say, but it's not exactly full at the MKM Stadium. Hull take a corner short but the eventual cross is eventually blocked.

    Up the other end Doncaster cross for Billy Sharp but a defender gets across to clear.

    The FA Cup is about more than football - it can change lives.

    Tamworth boss Andy Peaks tells The Football News Show how their run to the FA Cup third round has enabled him to leave his job at Tresham College in Kettering and become the club's full-time manager.

    These are the players Tamworth manager Andy Peaks hopes will create the shock to go alongside all FA Cup shocks if they can beat Spurs today.

    Keeper Jas Singh will be aiming to perform more cup heroics after he was the penalty shoot-out hero against Burton Albion in the last round while Spurs will surely be well prepared for the long throws of Tom Tonks.

    Tamworth XI: Singh, Cockerill-Mollett, Tonks, Milnes, Creaney, Morrison, Cullinane-Liburd, McGlinchey, Enoru, Hollis, Crompton

    Lively start for Doncaster in this Yorkshire derby.

    Tamworth v Tottenham (12.30 GMT)

    A grand total of 96 league places separate Tamworth and Tottenham - 16th in the National League hosting 12th in the Premier League.

    The Lamb Ground, with its capacity of less than 5,000, is a far cry from the 62,850-seater Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Whether it is is the site of one of the greatest FA Cup upsets ever remains to be seen.

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, speaking to ITV: "It's what the FA Cup is all about and I’m sure the people of Tamworth are looking forward too it and we are as well.

    “There’s a connection with grassroots somewhere, a neighbourhood where they grew up and small community clubs nourished their love for the game.

    “I'm sure all the boys are looking forward to it. I think the boys are genuinely excited for the game."

    On Mikey Moore: "He got hit hard by the virus, but he has worked hard with training and he's looking forward to the game today."

    On Tamworth's long throw threat: "Real challenge- every team has their strength and it is about us minimising that.

    "Stay focused, stay disciplined and play our football."

    You cannot have a cup match without a tinfoil FA Cup.

    Step in six-year-old Freddie, team mascot at the match and who has also been seen regularly waving his metallic creation from the stands.

    "Tamworth will win on penalties," he predicts.

    Freddie, who will walk out with right back Ben Crompton, said he was "excited, and a little bit nervous," about the big game.

    Dad Tom thinks the home team might have the upper hand as Tottenham may not be used to such a small stadium.

    "It's going to be 'welcome to non-league football' and I am really excited for it, I think it's going to be a great game," he said.
