THE CONTEXT
The BT Sport cameras roll into Grosvenor Vale for the first time in front of spectators this Tuesday evening as Wealdstone host Solihull Moors under the floodlights. Fans will also be wanting to take advantage of the hosts generous £5 online ticket offer ahead of the fixture as the Stones fans bid to show the nation what they are all about! Wealdstone come off of a 5-0 hammering away to Torquay United on the weekend which saw them drop to 16th. Meanwhile, after an initial slow start Solihull Moors are now just a place outside the play-off positions after beating Southend United 2-0 at home on the weekend.
TEAM NEWS
Wealdstone were boosted by the return of Connor Stevens on the weekend as he played the final 20 minutes at Plainmoor. Alex Dyer returns from his three-match suspension and Danny Parish is also nearing a return after picking up an injury whilst out on loan at Billericay Town. Jerome Okimo was still sidelined on the weekend, but the skipper could be back in the side after Nikola Tavares was replaced on the weekend with a knock. Ira Jackson remains out of the side suspended and defender Jack Cawley left the club last week.
WHAT WAS SAID?
Stuart Maynard: "We've got to get the place packed and get it rocking, but that's down to us as well to get it rocking, we've got to make sure we come out and start on the front foot at home definitely. We've got to get as many fans in and it's unbelievable from the football club to charge £5 to get into a football game at this level and hopefully we can get the stadium as packed as we can."

WHO TO WATCH FOR?
Andrew Dallas: The Scottish forward was a summer signing for the Moors from Cambridge United, where the former Rangers youngster made little impact, scoring twice in 33 appearances. But it was out on loan at Weymouth last season where the 22-year old made an impression in the National League, scoring 12 times in 25 games. His performances for the Terras earned him his summer move to Solihull and he's already off the mark this season, scoring three times so far.
