EASTLEIGH FC will face a difficult away tie in the FA Cup if they overcome FC Halifax Town next week.

Halifax took a 3-1 lead over Eastleigh at Silverlake Stadium on Sunday, before a comeback earned them a 3-3 draw.

But they will got to Griffin Park, where Allen was manager in the mid-2000s, if they manage to win their replay at The Shay.

Allen was Brentford's manager for more than two seasons from 2004-06, during which the Bees took Saints to a fifth-round replay after coming back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at St Mary's.
