Notts County are in FA Cup action this weekend as they take on Tamworth in a fourth qualifying round tie.
A spot in the first round proper of the famous competition will be up for grabs when the two sides meet at the Lamb on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
Notts head coach Ian Burchnall is relishing the challenge facing his side, while sounding a warning to his players.
"It's obviously an historic competition and it's one that everybody wants to get as far as they can in," said Burchnall.
Tamworth compete in a lower division, the Southern League Premier Central, but are currently on a fine run of form.
"I've been involved in a lot of cup competitions where we've faced lower division opposition, and it's always a challenge," Burchnall added.
"Certainly for Tamworth to get to where they are - just one step away from the first round proper - is huge for them and I know what a big game it's going to be for them.
"So it's one where all bets are off, really. When you play teams from different divisions, certainly like this when you play away, they are never, ever easy games.
"So, no doubt, it's going to be an entertaining game."
The 38-year-old recalled his early memories of watching the FA Cup as a fan.
"I always remember watching FA Cup finals with my dad - Abide With Me and all that sort of stuff at the start - and it's always good memories of the FA Cup," he said.
"Growing up, I was following Leicester and they never did so well in it - until obviously last season!
"I just remember a lot of different games in cup competitions where lower league opposition challenged the top leagues, and we all hope that with us being a lower league team right now, that we can progress in the competition, and go and challenge against some of the bigger boys. That's the dream."
Burchnall is expecting a stern test against the Lambs, who have won 12 out of their past 13 league games, including a 4-0 win over Stourbridge in midweek, and play their home matches on an artificial 3G pitch.
"We had people watching [on Tuesday night] when they played at home against Stourbridge. It was a very good performance, I think they've got good players. They are obviously very well-drilled and well organised," said Burchnall.
"So that provides its own problem, away on an artificial [pitch], so we certainly can't underestimate the game. They are never, ever, ever easy games.
"Of course, we're going there as big favourites but, to be honest, we're dealing with that most weeks, we're going in with the weight of expectancy on our shoulders.
"So, for me, I hope we can progress through and then be an underdog every now and again, against bigger opposition."
