Marske United are already counting the cost of tomorrow's fourth round tie against Cornish side Porthleven.
Under the rules of the competition, the home team have to pay the travelling costs of the visiting side - and the round trip from Cornwall to Marske is more than 900 miles.
The Duchy team will take three days to complete their journey, staying in Redcar overnight, and the cost to United will be in the region of £2,500.
A draw tomorrow would see United making the return journey to Porthleven next week, when the Cornish club would foot the bill.
United's main fear this week is the threat of bad weather. Should the game be postponed after the visitors have arrived, Marske would be faced with a double bill.
The team is anxious to find sponsors. Anyone who can help should contact the club's commercial manager, Steve Davies, on (01642) 232880.
Meanwhile, United moved into the quarter final of the Albany Northern League after winning 3-2 at Horden.
They enjoyed their sixth consecutive win when they met Durham City at the Mount Pleasant Avenue ground. John Woods scored the only goal.
United are at home to Porthleven tomorrow, kick off 3pm.
On Tuesday they play Easington at home, kick off 7.30pm
