MARGATE manager Chris Kinnear has no fears about playing at St George's Lane in Saturday's FA Trophy clash.

Every match this season has been an away day for the Nationwide Conference club who are ground-sharing with Dover Athletic while their Hartsdown Park stadium is rebuilt.

Kinnear though has played down expectations on his own side by claiming Worcester City are a bigger club and favourites to win.

"We're looking forward to playing Worcester," said Kinnear. "I know John Barton fairly well and the people at the club are a nice bunch and it's always a good place to visit.

"We thought Worcester would be one of the harder draws. They are a good side and to be fair probably a bigger club than us -- it's just unfortunate that they have not been able to make the transition into the Conference.

"We've picked up bits and pieces about City this season and know they are a well organised side that like to get forward and score. That's a typical John Barton team," said Kinnear.

"Both sides have an equal chance of winning the game and I'm sure John thinks that and there's no reason why it shouldn't be an open game.

"We are possibly regarded as slight favourites because we are playing in a higher league but Worcester are a bigger club in general so in a sense perhaps it should be them who are favourites."

Kinnear admits it has been hard playing away from Hartsdown Park ground but there are advantages.

"The upside is that we are used to it now so we won't be worried about playing at Worcester," he added.
