""I think it's huge [being at home] in terms of going on to win the tie - I think it will play a massive part," said Brackley boss Gavin Cowan. "Our fans are incredible. When you think about the ratio between our population and the people that turn up every week, they come out in their droves for these games. "We have evolved from a community club into a professional community club. The way things are done now around the club have improved dramatically.""
"Promotion in May meant Brackley did not have to enter the competition until the final qualifying round and following a 1-1 draw at Woking, they secured their place in the main draw with a thumping 6-2 home win in the replay. Experienced forwards Matt Lowe and Danny Waldron both scored twice against opponents reduced to 10 men by a first-half red card, before Scott Pollock and Kyle Morrison added late goals to underline their victory at St James Park."
Brackley Town will host Burton Albion of League One in the FA Cup second round at St James Park on Monday at 19:30 GMT. Being at home is viewed as a significant advantage, with fans turning out in large numbers relative to the town's population. The club has evolved from a community club into a professional community club with major improvements on and off the field. Promotion in May allowed entry at the final qualifying round; after a 1-1 draw at Woking, Brackley won the replay 6-2 as Matt Lowe and Danny Waldron each scored twice, with late goals from Scott Pollock and Kyle Morrison.
