Fakenham Town 0–0 Hashtag United (05.12.2020) was HTU's penultimate competitive fixture of 2020–21. An FA Vase second round match, it took place on 5 December 2020 at Clipbush Park in Fakenham, England.

Background
With no fixtures for one month due to a pause caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, HTU's last fixture was in fact the first round FA Vase victory over Coggeshall United. It continued HTU's improved second voyage in the competition, following on from a second qualifying round exit in 2019–20. Lower league Fakenham Town were also coming off an extended break, with their last competitive match being a Eastern Counties League - Division One North win away to King's Lynn Town Reserves; which followed their FA Vase win over Crawley Green.

It was the first ever meeting between HTU and Fakenham Town.

Pre-match
