Darlington stand to receive a mini-cash windfall after the FA Cup tie at Altrincham was chosen for coverage on BBC's Match of the Day programme.

The appearance will benefit both clubs to the tune of £40,000 each while the FA's prize-money scheme means the tie's winners will receive an extra £30,000 for reaching the third round.

Darlington have already banked £20,000 for beating Kidderminster Harriers in the first round two weeks ago.

The tie at Altrincham will kick-off at 1pm because the Moss Rose floodlights at the UniBond League Premier Division side are not strong enough for the television cameras. The match will be the BBC programme's second highest priority game.

Although the match is not all-ticket, seat tickets for the tie must be purchased before the day of the game and they, as well as terrace tickets, go on sale after Saturday's fixture at home to York City to season ticket holders.

Season ticket holders will also have between 10am and 5pm on Monday to buy a seat ticket but from 10am on Tuesday they go on general sale. Season ticket holders require voucher E to claim their ticket.

Terrace tickets cost £6.50 (adult) and £4.50 (concessions) while seats are £7.50 (adult) and £5.50 (concessions). Terrace tickets will be available on match day.

Altrincham earned the right to play Quakers when they won their replay 4-1 at Lancaster City after extra time on Tuesday.

*A race night, including a pie and peas supper, jointly organised by the Darlington Supporters Club and the Darlington Supporters Trust, takes place in the Ambassador Suite on December 10.
