Spalding United boss Pat Rayment admits that Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup trip to league rivals Coalville Town (3pm) is something of a damp squib.
Rayment reckons that neither side will be overly inspired by drawing each other in the second qualifying round.
But he does believe that his side have a great chance to advance and pull a dream draw with the likes of Boston United or Lincoln City in the next round.
The Tulips chief said: “When the draw came out I don’t imagine either side were doing cartwheels.
“It’s just not an exciting game for us. Coalville will be a little happier as they’re at home.
“Both sides will know that they have a great chance to progress to the next round – and then you’d hope to get a big draw. Our best case scenario would be to get either Lincoln City or Boston at home, that’s what we’d hope for.”
The winners of Saturday’s tie will earn £4,500 in prize money.
