Up for grabs this time around in addition to a spot in round three is no less than £67,000.

"We’d love a home tie, and if it’s a big one, then great because we might get a chance of television [coverage],” boss Weaver said ahead of Monday’s draw.

"If it’s not, then we’ve got even more chance of getting through to the next round, which would be immense.”

Last season, Harrogate beat National League Wrexham in round one to set up a trip to League One Portsmouth, where they shocked their higher-division hosts, winning 2-1 courtesy of strikes from Luke Armstrong and Jack Diamond.

Having never progressed beyond that stage of the competition before, Town’s reward for their Fratton Park upset was an historic third-round showdown with Championship Luton, a game they went on to lose 4-0.
