-
Eastleigh's FA Cup tie in the First Round at home to Swindon Town has been selected to be televised on BBC Two.

The Spitfires will take on their League One opposition on Friday 4th November at the Silverlake Stadium. The coverage will start at 7:55pm.

Ronnie Moore reacting to the news said: "The only reason the cameras are coming to us is they think there’s going to be an upset.

“But there’s no pressure on us. We’ve got nowt to lose, we’ve just got to enjoy it. It’s a chance for one or two of our younger lads to express themselves on TV and show how good they are.

“I’d imagine we’d get 5,000 into the Silverlake and there will be 2.5 million watching on TV.

“It’s going to be a special night for the club and what we don’t want to do is get beat by seven.

"We want to show the world just what a good team we are and how professionally we’re doing things here.

“The FA Cup has never been a hindrance for me, I love it for the atmosphere and the shocks.

“If we win, we win; if we lose, we lose - but let’s enjoy it.”

A long ball forward from the visitors was met by a tidy finish with a fine lob over stranded Eastleigh goalkeeper Freddie Toomer and into the net. Ben White headed wide from an Aaron Blaxall left wing cross soon after, before Nick Watt fired narrowly over the cross bar with a good attempt from a free kick 20 yards out, to the left of goal.

In the 26th minute Ben White had the ball in
