Sammy looking forward to Robins test

Posted on: Wed 19 Nov 2008

Boss Sammy McIlroy says he is looking forward to the FA Cup sponsored by e-on clash with Cheltenham a week on Saturday.

The Robins earned their trip to Christie Park with a 1-0 win over Oldham on Tuesday evening and are set to make another journey northwards on Saturday, November 29.

McIlroy watched the game and picked up some clues about the second round clash.

He said: "They are a big and physical team who have a presence all over the park. They like to get the ball forward quickly and we know we are in for a tough game.

"But it will be another big occasion at Christie Park and I am delighted that we are at home again for our own fans. They have forked out a  lot of money to follow us away in cup competitions over the past few years and I am pleased for them. Hopefully we can get a big following on the day and get through to the third round which is always a massive occasion for clubs at our level.''
