FOREST GREEN will kick-off their Emirates FA Cup campaign against non-league opposition.
Mark Cooper's side will be at home to either non-league Sutton United or Billericay Town in the first round of the FA Cup, after the draw was made tonight.
Billericay are set to do battle with National League outfit Sutton tomorrow night after the initial fourth qualifying round tie finished 1-1 at Gander Green Lane.
Former Forest Green striker Omar Bugiel gave Sutton an early lead and it looked like Billericay were heading out of the competition.
But goalkeeper Alan Julian headed home an unlikely leveller deep in injury time.
Forest Green took Oxford United to a replay at this stage last season, after securing a 0-0 draw at the Kassam Stadium, but fell at home to Karl Robinson's League One side.
The games will be played across the weekend of Saturday, November 9, with winning clubs receiving £36,000.
