Salisbury's FA Cup Match is a Sell Out

Friday, 6 November 2026 at 13:25

Salisbury's FA Cup tie with Sholing tomorrow (Saturday 7th November 2026) has sold out.

Salisbury FC has announced that their FA Cup first-round tie with Sholing has sold out ahead of the game, and the club have stated that it will set a new attendance record.

The club's current attendance record was set in March 2016 when Salisbury reached the Semi-Final of the FA Vase and the match against Hereford attracted 3450 supporters.

This is the first time the reformed club has reached this stage of the competition, and cup fever certainly seems to have landed in Salisbury.

With well over 3,000 supporters travelling to the game, fans are urged to arrive early, with bars and facilities opening from midday.

Due to FA regulations for the 1st Round of the FA Cup, NO alcohol is permitted to be consumed pitch-side or in view of the pitch during the FA Cup fixture against Sholing.

Home supporters can drink in the Main Bar, as the windows will be covered. They can also drink in the FanZone as normal, but the glass doors to the stadium will be covered.

The same will apply to the Executive Lounge and the Hospitality boxes. Sholing fans will have to remain behind the fence in the Away bar area.

All bars will be open from midday.

The club has reiterated that it strongly advises supporters to arrive early to fully enjoy the matchday experience, with a temporary food court and bar available by the home turnstiles to reduce queues at the Tea Huts in the stadium and the Main Bar.

Supporters are also reminded that only those with a pre-booked car parking ticket should drive into Partridge Way and the car park. Alternative parking is available at the Bee Hive Park and Ride side; Salisbury Reds are also running additional buses on the Park and Ride PR11 route throughout the afternoon to help supporters get from the city centre to the Ray Mac.

To reach this stage, Salisbury have overcome Taunton Town (4-1), Dulwich Hamlet (5-0), and most recently, Eastbourne Borough (3-0) in the Fourth Qualifying Round.

Meanwhile, Sholing have played one more fixture than the Whites. They have beaten Andover New Street (2-0), Tiverton Town (1-0), Ebbsfleet United (2-1) and South East Dons (2-0).
