What the players have to say!
Tommy Elliott on the game: “ I think I’ve seen already we are in the history books getting here for the first time since 1962. York obviously in the league above but we have already took on Kettering and beaten them. But we will go into the game respecting York but we will fancy ourselves we know our threats so let’s get into the second or third round I keep joking about wanting to play at the Emirates so let’s keep going”
Jack Dillingham on how important it is for the club to progress: “ I think it’s massive it’s a massive thing for the club the players and even the fans against Kettering in the replay the fans were brilliant I think we definitely have the beating of York and it’s a competition to show actually how good we are not only for the league but the next season’s if we do go up we have a real force”
