FOREST GREEN will face National League leaders Macclesfield Town at home in the FA Cup first round next month.
The two sides met three times last season, FGR winning both times in the league, including a 3-0 win at home with goals from Christian Doidge, Liam Noble and Mark Ellis, while The Silkmen knocked Rovers out of the FA Trophy with a 1-0 win at Moss Rose.
Forest Green and Macclesfield met in the FA Cup back in 2001 at the same stage when current manager Mark Cooper got on the scoresheet twice.
Having scored an 82nd minute penalty to make it 2-2 away from home, Cooper opened the scoring in the first half of the replay at home, only for Kevin Keen to haul the visitors back level four minutes later before they went on to progress 11-10 on penalties.
Rovers, who made it to the second round the season before, fell at the fourth qualifying round last season away at Sutton United.
The first round will take place over the weekend of November 3-6, with winning clubs receiving £18,000 from the FA’s prize fund.
