Grove created club history by beating Long Buckby 2-1 at the Seddon Stadium last Saturday and will now take on the Evo-Stik Premier Division side on October 29.
"Bradford have paid out a lot of money and are a decent side, but being at home gives us a chance.
"The game is massively important to us, just as the Long Buckby game was, and we should attract a decent crowd."
Kidsgrove have already earned £16,500 in prize money from their four FA Cup games and a further £12,500 will be up for grabs against Bradford.
LEEK Town face a long trek to Conference Premier Division side Darlington if they should overcome Hinckley in tonight's replay at Harrison Park.
Leek performed heroically in drawing 3-3 at Hinckley last Saturday after being 2-0 and 3-2 down – and director of football Neil Baker expects to select from much the same squad.
Defender Tim Sanders (knee) is the only doubt, so Ashley Wooliscroft is on stand-by to return after his recent injury problems.
Baker said: "We have a tough draw, but going to Darlington would be a great experience if we should get through. They are a good club with decent support."
Baker believes the Leek pitch may be in their favour, adding: "I am not sure whether Hinckley will enjoy playing on it as much as we will.
"The pitch is fine at the moment, but it does not compare with that at Hinckley, so that may be our greatest advantage."
Baker is likely to give Jimmy McCarthy a more central attacking role with Matt Haddrell after he featured on the wing on Saturday.
NANTWICH Town have a home tie against Nuneaton Town, who are in the top half of Conference North.
STONE Dominoes, licking the wounds of their amazing 8-5 home defeat to Runcorn Linnets in the North West Counties Premier Division last Saturday, are away to Rushall Olympic in the Staffs Senior Cup tonight.
