Scunthorpe United will face Grimsby Town in FA Cup round one
Social media has been full of light-hearted banter after Scunthorpe United drew Grimsby Town in the first round of the FA Cup.
After the draw was announced, Iron midfielder Matt Sparrow tweeted: “What a draw that is for the boys! Can't beat a good old fashioned derby!!! #awaydays #weatecodheads #iron #facup”
It was retweeted by more than 80 Iron fans as they took to social media site Twitter to react to the draw.
Iron General Manager David Beeby responded to a tweet from a Grimsby Town fan about Scunthorpe not selling out their allocation with: “There's been a lot of interest. It's been a while since we played a non-league team in the cup.”
The game will be played over the weekend of November 9 and November 10.
