An outbreak of high temperature’s and cold sweats amongst the Lilywhite support can only mean thing (no, no that he’s coming back) – it’s FA Cup fever time once more.
It's hard to believe I know, nearly October and we're still in the World's Most Famous Domestic Knock-out Competition ™, but here we are: only 270 minutes away from being thoroughly patronised by the national media.
It would be stupid not to acknowledge that this is going to be a very tough game but aren’t they all at Kendal. It’ll be difficult but it’s not as though we haven’t upset the odds at the Lakeland Radio Stadium in recent years is it? I mean, who can forget the events of that now infamous Tuesday evening back in April 2005...

Oh! It appears that the flashback plug-in for this blog isn't working properly. Nevermind though because all you need to know is that we won a must win game 2 - 1 thanks to a goal deep into injury time from Leon Mike, setting in motion celebrations that almost caused the stand the majority of the travelling support was in to collapse.
It would be nice to see such scenes again this weekend but I don't think anyone would mind if we won in a less fraught fashion either. In fact just simply winning would be nice as we haven't beaten a team from a higher division in any cup competition since the 2 - 0 victory over Whitby four years ago, which, coincidentally, was also in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup. To be fair though, until this season it had been a while since we beat anyone from any level in a cup tie.
Will luck shine upon us or will our dreams of a match against such mighty teams as Vauxhall Motors be crushed once more? Who knows? But as always the fun part is watching and finding out.
All that remains for me to say is good luck to Mossley! We may need it but we do deserve some for once.
