On Saturday, The Heed travelled to the J. Davidson Stadium to face Altrincham for the second time in under two weeks this season in the initial tie.
Robbie Tinkler and Greg Olley struck for Mike Williamson’s side as a 2-2 draw earned tonight’s replay, which will be the fourth game in two seasons between the two sides in the Emirates FA Cup.

Heed View
“We’ve analysed Saturday’s game this week and taken as much detail as we can from it,” said player-manager, Mike Williamson.
“We’ve played each other enough times now to know what the game is all about.
“We know the levels we have to achieve to get a result and that’s what we’ll be focused on.”
Opposition View
“You’ve got two fairly evenly matched teams, it’s anybody’s tie to take on the night,” said Altrincham manager, Phil Parkinson.
“We’re going to have to tweak a few things, there’s a bit of illness in the camp and a few knocks and niggles.”
Last Time We Met
Christopher Conn-Clarke gave the hosts the lead with a great individual goal on Saturday.
However, just six minutes later Robbie Tinkler scored a stunner from 25-yards out to equalise in the 15th minute.
Captain Greg Olley netted just before half-time to give Gateshead a 2-1 lead at the break.
Alty attacker Marcus Dinanga equalised in the second half and the tie finished 2-2.
