If you're at an FA Cup match this weekend - either playing or watching - we want you to share your pictures and stories with us. Rich Walker, external has done exactly that on his way past Warrington Town Hall...

So, is there any history between these two clubs? You might think not... but actually there is. And it's a great tale, too.

It centres around Sam Strettle... remember him? I'm impressed if you do because he was born in Warrington in 1885 before signing for Exeter City in 1913 having spent time on the books of Everton and Chesterfield.

In fact, Strettle was a bit of a footballing pioneer because he was part of the Exeter squad which toured South America in 1914 and who were the opponents for Brazil's first ever game of football. He played in defence against the Samba Boys but could not prevent a 2-0 defeat. Later in his career, he returned to play local football in Warrington.

Impressive, eh?

First thing's first, however, let's have some team news from Cantilever Park...

Here we go then. Dan Walker has just popped up on BBC Two. It's time to kick off our televised coverage of the FA Cup first round.

So, when the Warrington Town players pop up on your television screen tonight, will you know any of them? If you live in the area, you might have bumped into defender Louis Corrigan, who is a salesman and, according to his skipper David Mannix "is always up for a night out".

Then there's defender James McCarten who, when not cleaning windows, is a catalogue model. Finally, there's Conor Roberts who, so says Mannix, "would run through brick walls if you asked him". He's also good at fixing ceilings.

Have a look at the rest of the Warrington Town pen pics here.

Neil Lennon has helped the mood lift slightly since replacing Dougie Freedman as Bolton boss a few weeks ago.

The Trotters have won three out of five since the former Celtic boss's appointment, having previously only won one of their first 11 Championship matches.

Uwe Rosler's Wigan on the other hand are going into the match on a miserable run of form. They have won only one of their last 11 games and their only win since August was 2-1 at Derby on 25 October.

The FA Cup may be taking centre stage this weekend, but there are plenty of big matches going on in England's top two leagues as well.

Starting with a tasty-looking north west derby between Bolton and Wigan at the Macron Stadium this evening, a match we will be keeping you up to date with.

The two former Premier League sides are struggling horribly in the Championship, with Bolton second from bottom and Wigan just two points ahead in 19th.

Warrington Wolves rugby league team, based just two miles away, have been offering their support to their football-playing neighbours.

"Sport is celebrated in our town," they said, "bringing the community together and we would encourage rugby league and football fans alike to get behind the local team.

"From one sports club to another, good luck from all at Warrington Wolves."

The ground has been preparing this week for the arrival of the BBC cameras, with fans unable to get a ticket for the game able to watch on BBC Two and online. Or you can build your own scaffolding - like this fella appears to have done...

Bolton's Mark Davies starts for the Trotters despite suffering blurred vision in midweek while Jay Spearing has recovered from a hamstring injury and is named on the bench.

Wigan striker Marc-Antoine Fortune returns after missing Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at Brighton but forward Andy Delort has a back injury and is not involved.

Bolton: Lonergan, Ream, Mills, Dervite, Vela, Danns, M Davies, Chung-Yong, Feeney, Clayton, C Davies. Subs: Kenny, McNaughton, Moxey, Spearing, Mason, Beckford, Hall.

Wigan: Carson, Maloney, Huws, McManaman, Espinoza, Perch, Barnett, Forshaw, Kiernan, Figueroa, Fortune. Subs: Nicholls, Tavernier, McCann, McClean, Cowie, Waghorn, Kvist.

On that very subject, Warrington Town goalkeeper Karl Wills could not confirm that he would be free tonight until Wednesday. Wills works as a web developer in Manchester and faced a last-minute dash straight from his job to the televised showdown before receiving the news he and Warrington manager Shaun Reid wanted to hear.

"I had to put in a holiday request this week and if it hadn't been granted I would have had to work until 5pm on Friday and rush straight over to the ground in time for kick-off," said Wills.
