The road to Wembley begins in earnest for the 667 clubs involved in the 2019/20 FA Vase with 268 ties scheduled for the coming weekend.
Not many of the clubs involved in the competition will be able to command over 180,000 followers on Twitter but then Hashtag United probably don't fit into ideas of what a Non-League outfit may look like.
It's a modern-day tale in many respects, a club that exists because of the internet and social media, but the easy route of exhibition matches has been foregone for a shot at climbing the pyramid.
That process began with an Eastern Counties League Division One South title last season and now the Tags are in the Essex Senior League with home matches played at the Chadfields home of Tilbury FC.
To see if the matchday reality can live up to the You Tube package in the club's first ever FA Vase appearance will cost just £3 for Adults, £2 for Concessions and free for Under 12's next Saturday (31st August) against Leyton Athletic.
