Winning clubs will receive £75,000 from The FABarrow Chairman Brian Keen was over the moon at drawing a Premier League side in the Third Round of The FA Cup and believes Middlesbrough will be 'frightened to death' at the prospect of facing the Cumbrian side.
Barrow became the first side to make it through to the Third Round after causing an upset to beat Brentford at Holker Street on Friday night.
"We'll take them," said Keen. "They'll be frightened to death to have us visit them. We'll give them a good go and bring them back to Holker Street or maybe even cause a shock there.
"It's fabulous to be going to a Premier League club. It's what these people deserve and we're going to give it our best shot and enjoy the day.
"These lads have stuck with us, the town have stuck with us, we work very hard and we deserve this. We'll go forward and give it our best right through the club and take the rewards.
"I'm really happy for everyone involved with the club. We'll give it a really good go and we deserve it."
