FIRST round rookie Adam Webster is confident Worcester City will be throwing another FA Cup party at 5pm tomorrow.
The all-ticket clash at Chippenham's packed Hardenhuish Park represents the biggest game in the careers of many City players.
And striker Webster, who has netted four goals in the competition this season, admits nobody wants to miss the chance of getting close to an astonishing third round tie.
"It would be brilliant to get through this one," said Webster. "Personally, I'm really pleased that I've got this far in the FA Cup.
"I don't think a lot of the lads have. Only Des Lyttle, the gaffer and Graham Hyde have been this far and, of course, Graham reached the final.
"For some of the younger players and myself, it's such a huge game. We are going to enjoy the occasion and I always feel that if you enjoy it, you play well. It would be great to keep the cup run going."
Webster continued: "Our league position is very disappointing and if you asked supporters whether they would swap the FA Cup run to be second in the league, I think the vast majority would.
"I would probably agree, but you can't swap the feeling we had beating Accrington. It was an incredible night, one of those games that I'll never forget.
"Nobody at the club wants to throw away the chance of getting further in the competition. We know it will be difficult, because Chippenham are flying in their league, so we'll have to work really hard.
"I've played at Chippenham a few times, for both Bedworth and Worcester. It's a difficult ground to go to. There's a little bit of a slope and the pitch is close to the supporters, so I expect there will be quite some atmosphere."
A capacity 3,000 crowd is anticipated for the segregated clash, of which 800 will be made up of travelling City supporters.
Player-manager Andy Preece was given a huge selection boost ahead of the tie, following the return of Nick Colley and Les Hines.
Both netted two goals each, along with Jimmi-Lee Jones, as City reserves defeated Alvechurch 6-2 in the Worcestershire Senior Urn, although Preece rated their fitness between '80 to 90 per cent'.
George Clegg and Hyde also featured for the reserves and will want to regain a midfield berth.
But Preece may stick with the trio of Sam Wedgbury, Tom Warmer and Danny Hodnett for a fourth successive match.
Webster is confident City's youngsters are capable of handling the pressure.
He added: "The younger players are really up for it and, if selected, they can do it for us. Being young lads, the expectation is not as high as for those players that have been at Worcester for a while.
"People don't expect anything from them and they have produced the goods.
"But everybody is buzzing at the thought of players coming back from injury. Nick Colley and Les Hines are big-game players and it's good to have them back.
"Nick won the Southern Premier League with Tamworth and Les popped up with a goal in the FA Trophy final at Hednesford, so they can handle the big occasion."
