It's not just Hartlepool fans who are gutted...

Stevenage FC Official: Tonight's BBC FA Cup result means Stevenage FC will definitely make the long trip to Hartlepool on Valentine's Day. Who said romance is dead?

Manager reaction

Hartlepool boss Paul Murray: "In the first half we were pretty good but didn't take our opportunities. The second half was diabolical. There was no fight, no passion, we thought we had it won. That's been the story in the league as well. There were angry words exchanged in the dressing room.

"I gather it was over the line [Marlon Harewood's shot] but that's irrelevant now. Credit to Blyth, they outplayed us in the second half. They had more passion and desire and that's not what I'm about as a person. I'm incredibly disappointed.

"Where do you go from here? That's the question. My heart's still in it, I'm a fighter. Always have been, always will be."

He has weekends off, he confirms. He can celebrate tonight!

"The celebrations are fantastic and nothing more than Blyth deserved, especially in the second half as they committed more men forward. Hartlepool will rue the chances they missed. The cameras came here to see an upset and they have not disappointed."

Ex-Newcastle striker Alan Shearer on MOTD

"Blyth manager Tom Wade should be delighted. If they are going to get anything out of the game then they need to get more support up front for Daniel Maguire."

Hartlepool 1-0 Blyth Spartans

"I think the first 10 minutes, with Hartlepool on top, you can put down to nerves on Blyth's part.

"But once the pattern of the game became clear, Hartlepool looked more athletic and the difference in fitness showed."

Blyth will be kicking towards their 1200 noisy fans in the second half. That could make all the difference. They've seen what Hartlepool are about, what they've got to offer, and now they go again.

Those players who were up at work first thing this morning may feel this second half...

Ex-Newcastle striker Alan Shearer on MOTD

"It should be all over for Blyth. But with Hartlepool's defence I'm sure at one stage they will get a chance in the second half. Because of Hartlepool forward Marlon Harewood's age - he's not often going to run away but he is big and strong. If they don't get protection for the defence then Marlon will get the ball and lay it off."

Hartlepool 1-0 Blyth Spartans

"The front three for Hartlepool have been absolutely outstanding, good running off the ball throughout the first half, and great delivery."

Hartlepool had 10 efforts in that first half and really tested Blyth at times. The non-league side came back into the game in the final few minutes though. Get an early goal and the tie is back in business.

Ex-Man Utd defender Phil Neville on MOTD

"I think Hartlepool started really well. They've got pace in wide areas and causing Spartans lots of trouble. Marlon Harewood - they can't handle him. Blyth started really nervously but came into it in the last five minutes."

Watford are blowing Fulham away! Disastrous defending from Fulham though as they try to play offside, Troy Deeney is in and pokes the ball past the jogging-bottom wearing Gabor Kiraly.

Blyth go direct for the first time and it almost pays dividends. Jarrett Rivers causes havoc chasing a long ball and the loose ball runs on to Daniel Hawkins. He chances his arm with a first-time effort from 30 yards but it's always drifting wide. The non-league side coming on strong.

Blyth manager Tom Wade on MOTD: "We've done exceptionally well - I thought in the first 10 minutes we'd get blown away. It's tough - they've got lots of quality. They're not a bad side. I think the game is beginning to settle a bit though."

Hartlepool continue to look slick in possession. On this early viewing I'd suggest that midfielder Michael Woods could do a job a lot higher up the football pyramid.

The away fans still making plenty of noise - but Hartlepool's strong start could take the wind out of their sails. Sidney Schmeltz is a box of tricks, bursting into the box again and winning a corner.

GREAT SAVE!

What a save! One of the great FA Cup stops! OK, maybe a bit strong - but that is brilliant!

Blyth keeper Peter Jeffries hurls to his left and somehow keeps out a fine header from Sidney Schmeltz. Tremendous stop.

Hartlepool start very well, former West Ham striker Marlon Harewood sliding in Michael Woods - but he's stopped by a decent tackle. Blyth looking to keep the ball on the deck.

"There's a real, real chance of an upset. The fans want it to happen and they expect it to happen. There are goals in Robbie Dale and Daniel Maguire. Those two guys and manager know Hartlepool concede goals and they concede too many."

Football remembers

Football Remembers Week is to commemorate the centenary of one of the most iconic moments of the First World War - the 1914 Christmas Truce football match.

For the matches that take place in the Premier League, the Championship and the FA Cup second round, all 22 players who start the match will pose together in a group photograph as a mark of respect to those that played in the 1914 Christmas Truce match.

Teams are being asked to upload a pre-game photo this weekend to social media with the hashtag #footballremembers.

Hartlepool v Blyth Spartans (19:55 GMT)

"Hartlepool's league form has been awful. They have won one in 13, but this is a great opportunity for them. There is no pressure."

Apart from being on live TV in front of the nation, obviously...

The teams are out at Craven Cottage. Almost go time in tonight's football.

Hartlepool v Blyth Spartans (19:55 GMT)

"I've noticed the quality in lower leagues is good, it's just the consistency and reproducing it week in week out that makes the difference.

"If Blyth don't freeze on the night, they've got every chance because there isn't much between the two sets of players."

Freeze mentally - or physically?

BBC

The BBC cameras have followed Blyth midfielder Matthew Wade all day as he did a morning at work, then got a haircut before heading down to Hartlepool.

A plush pre-match meal at 16:00 - push the boat out lads. Anyone following Alan Shearer's pre-match routine of chicken and beans?

"The FA Cup is a welcome distraction for Hartlepool. The pressure is on them, but it's a huge incentive for them to get through."

When Alan Shearer has to resort to a Liam Gallagher-style parka, you know it's cold. Not friendly weather conditions at Victoria Park. Almost set for kick-off...

Ex-Newcastle striker Alan Shearer on MOTD

"I think without a doubt history can help Blyth - they know they can actually do it. It's a young team - can't seem to be any pressure on those guys. They come up against a team that's really struggling."

'From Cannock to Coventry...'

PA

Blyth expect to be cheered on by 1,200 Spartans fans tonight, who will be making the 40-mile trip down the north-east coast. Some are coming from further afield...

Blyth Spartans boss Tom Wade: "Tonight we have an even bigger support and we have lads travelling from Cannock, Stoke and Coventry so the support is massive. It will spur the lads on, we need our supporters to feel like it is a home game and they will do that.

"They have to know just how important they are to us and if we are to win we have to realise we are all in this together"

All the way from Staffordshire! Don't let them down Spartans...

PA

Steve Ackling: "Having been an avid Hull City fan since 1966 I was delighted when my youngest daughter, Jo, discovered a love for football but just a tad disappointed when she chose local club Derby County as her team rather than my beloved Tigers. I could only see one answer to this dilemma - get season tickets for both clubs!

"And so 2002-03 was the start of a 7-year feast of football in which we went to 309 Tigers and Rams games, witnessing four promotions and two Championship play-off final wins. Oh, and Derby County recording the lowest ever Premier League points total!"

Team News

Blyth are led by Robbie Dale, the barman who has scored in every round of the cup so far. Peter Jeffries, a former Hartlepool season-ticket holder and scaffolder, is in goal for the Northumberland side. The starting XI also includes midfielder Jarrett Rivers, who works in his mum's newspaper shop, and student midfielder Stephen Turnbull, who is doing an apprenticeship with a ferry company.

Hartlepool make four changes to the side that lost 3-1 at home to Wycombe. Jonathan Franks and Sidney Schmeltz come in to join former Newcastle United forward Marlon Harewood in attack.

Blyth Spartans XI: Jefferies, Nicholson, Watson, Hutchinson, Buddle, Turnbull, Rivers, Wade, Hawkins, Maguire, Dale.

Hartlepool XI: Flinders, Austin, Bates, Lanzoni, Jones, Featherstone, Woods, Walker, Franks, Harewood, Schmeltz.

Family affair

Spartans manager Tom Wade was one of the members of the 42,000-strong crowd at St James' Park when Blyth were beaten 2-1 by Wrexham in the fifth round in 1977-78 - the 55-year-old is a lifelong supporter and started going to matches at the age of eight. It will be his 100th match in charge of Blyth against Hartlepool and the club also runs in the family - his son Matthew plays in midfield.

John Shaw: "For Middlesbrough's first-ever FA Cup Final appearance at Wembley in 1997 I had to fly back from Hong Kong the night before the game and, pretending to be a Chelsea supporter and heavily disguising my accent, bought a Chelsea section ticket at Stamford Bridge which I managed to exchange for a Boro ticket just before the game.

"After the National Anthem and the presentation of the teams, I was about to sit down to enjoy the game when a certain Roberto Di Matteo blasted home after just 42 seconds. Never easy being a Boro fan! Less than a day later I was back in Hong Kong, not even jetlagged, just shellshocked."

Hull goalkeeper Steve Harper: Having played for Hartlepool & also against Blyth a few times it's certain to be a feisty cup tie at Victoria Park tonight.

The danger man

Talismanic forward Robbie Dale, who has scored in every round so far, is a key component of Blyth's hopes of FA Cup progress.

"He's a bit of a maverick on the park. When he's on his game, he's unplayable," manager Tom Wade told BBC Newcastle.

"He leads from the front, like an Alan Shearer sort of captain and when he's on the pitch everybody looks up to him. We've got a lot of young players in the side with ambition and he helps them come on."

"Wembley! Wembley! We're the famous Blyth Spartans and we're going to Wembley!"

That's the first time I've heard that chant this season. Good work from the away end. A few too many syllables if I'm being picky.

Cupset?

Getty Images

A non-league side fancying a big Cupset would consider Hartlepool a decent draw.

Pools are bottom of the Football League, 92nd out of 92, and have collected just 12 points all season.

Boss Paul Murray says: "It is natural that everybody wants an upset.

"That is why the cameras were down at Warrington in the first round - it is what it is all about - and why they are here.

"A lot of people will be wanting an upset but it is our job to make sure that doesn't happen."

The Warrington Way

Our first Friday night game of the FA Cup season served up the Cupset the cameras were hoping for as Warrington Town made light of a 100-place gap between themselves and Exeter in the football pyramid to win.

Will Blyth manage another shock tonight?

Super fans

Kieran Goldberg: "If the Blyth Spartans fan is worth a long story then so is Barnet's Steve Pursey. If I am not mistaken he has missed one game in the last 35 years, a game which was initially postponed, then changed to a delayed kick-off later that same afternoon.

"Not only does he attend every home and away game for the Bees, he now takes an active part in the supporters club, arranging coach transport to games for fans."

Andy Tillen: "I've not missed a Hampshire Sunday league match home and away since August 1975. Also my friend Paul Black hasn't missed a Reading game home and away since 1974."

Words fail me Andy...

Football League

One game in the Championship for us to worry about tonight. A few weeks ago Fulham were struggling at the foot of the table and Watford flying at the top.

But Kit Symons has transformed Fulham's fortunes, guiding his team to seven wins since replacing Felix Magath.

Watford, on their fourth manager of a bizarre season, seem to be heading in the opposite direction, Slavisa Jokanovic's men down to seventh after losing their last four. "We have not had good results and it's our obligation to stop that," says Jokanovic.

Can they? We'll find out soon.

We are almost set for the beginning of Round Two of the FA Cup - and you won't miss a thing.

As well as being able to watch at the top of this page, you can tune in to BBC Two for live coverage from 19:30 GMT.

Steve Wilson and Phil Neville are behind the microphone, while former England captain Alan Shearer and ex-England winger Trevor Sinclair will be pitchside.

The miracle of Murton

A win tonight and Blyth will be in the Third Round. The promised land for all non-league sides, and potential ties against Newcastle, Manchester United or Chelsea could await.

Taking on one of the big boys could even be Jeff Young's finest hour. His favourite game to date was !a Northern League game away to Murton (a former mining village near Sunderland) in the early 1990s."

I'm not making this up. Read more from Superfan Jeff Young here.

Inspired or Insane?

And for one Blyth fan in particular, tonight is a special occasion. It will certainly be in his top 400 games anyway. Maybe even top 100...

Spartans super fan Jeff Young has not missed a game since January 1987. NINETEEN EIGHTY-SEVEN. Twenty-seven years of consecutive games, totalling 1,506 before tonight.

Jeff Young

We've all met the odd dedicated individual down the years, but Jeff really is a special case.

Jeff has seen three promotions - from Northern League, through both divisions of the Northern Premier League, to the Conference North - and one relegation, back to the NPL.

There have also been famous FA Cup ties, including a 4-3 defeat at Blackpool in the first round in 1997, and a run in 2008-09 that ended with Spartans losing 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers in the third round.

But tonight could top the lot...

Blyth ply their trade in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, and are used to facing the likes of FC United, Trafford, Belper Town and Rushall Olympic.

Hartlepool may not be top of many fans' away grounds to tick off - but for Blyth and their fans, tonight is massive...

That's right. Some of the Spartans squad have been to work today before clocking off for the Cup.

Surely you've got to use an annual leave day there?

Clocking off for the Cup

The working week is done.

You're out of the office, you've closed up the garage, set the telephone to voicemail and have two lie-ins scheduled in your diary.

No doubt the toil of the week has left its mark on you, you're tired but also strangely invigorated by that Friday night feeling. A few drinks maybe, a takeaway, a chance to kick back and relax.

But not for everyone. For a handful of Blyth Spartans players tonight sees their hobby cast under the national glare.

After working all week as scaffolders, labourers, passport office workers, plumbers, taxi drivers, barmen and car factory workers, tonight the part-time footballers become full-time heroes. Potentially.

The FA Cup is back. Can the underdogs do it again?

Hartlepool United midfielder Matty Dolan, plus strikers Scott Fenwick and Joe Ironside are cup-tied.

Pools hope to gain clearance for Adam Armstrong from Newcastle, while Matteo Lanzoni is free to play after Cambridge gave their permission.

Blyth striker Dan Maguire is available despite his withdrawal through injury against Witton Albion last weekend.

Nathan Buddle, Stephen Turnbull and Damen Mullen all return to the club where they began their careers.
