Canvey Island's defence of the FA Umbro Trophy was thrown into chaos for their fans on Tuesday night.
With play having been washed out three times previously due to a waterlogged pitch, Nationwide Conference third placed side Yeovil were eventually able to host their closest league challengers, Doncaster Rovers, in the fourth round at Huish Park last night.
However, with the West Country outfit grabbing a late equaliser, the tie finished 1-1. That means the replay goes ahead at Doncaster's Belle Vue Ground on Saturday --and puts off Gulls' visit to the eventual winners until next Tuesday.
It means a host of Island followers who had made coach bookings for this weekend will, due to work commitments, be unable to make the four-hour plus trip to either Doncaster or Yeovil for a midweek match.
Gulls instead will host a Ryman League Premier Division game against St Albans on Saturday.
