This is, I feel, our biggest game in 20 years. In that time, we’ve won promotion and we’ve won play offs – but to get to the first round of the FA Cup would be massive.

It would be fully deserved, too, for all of the people who make this club tick – especially Jack Pearce, Jamie Howell and Dabba Killpartrick.

The exposure we could get from reaching the first round would dwarf anything we received from the Ryman one south play-off victory.

The team this season have been true Rocks and the signings made at the start of the campaign were shrewd, sensible and well timed – and are a testament to our season as a whole.

We are in a superb league position and have had a cup run based on attractive football against higher-league opposition.
