This is a huge occasion for Bromley; never before have the London side reached the milestone of the third round of the FA Cup. After getting past Rochdale in a seven-goal thriller, the League Two side edged past Solihull Moors, and the dream continues with a trip to the Premier League's Newcastle United on January 12.
Newcastle are six-time winners of the FA Cup, although their last title - which is also their last piece of domestic silverware - came back in 1955. Still, Newcastle have been revitalised under Saudi Arabian investment, and their recent form is among the strongest in the land. They have won seven games in a row in all competitions, their latest scalp being Arsenal in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Bromley currently sit mid-table, in 12th in League Two, which is the fourth tier of English football. With Newcastle in fourth in the Premier League 74 league places separate the two sides.
