Kirkham and Wesham FC are preparing the ground for their biggest couple of games of the season and both come up at Kellamergh Park in the next five days.
Tomorrow the club embark on what so far has been a fairy tale journey into the unknown of the FA Vase and with Wembley now fixed firmly on the horizon they are just two rounds away from a date in May on the telly!
Media interest is growing by the day with both TV and radio keen to get a slice of the action as Kirkham host Coventry Sphinx at Kellamergh Park on Saturday for a place in the last four of the competition when a record ground attendance is likely to see the tie.

"Things are getting mighty scarry," admitted team boss Mick Fuller.
"It's been a rollercoaster of a ride so far and who knows where we will end up - hopefully at Wembley but we are not thinking too far ahead just yet.
"I've had a look at Coventry and they have had a look at us, so it's tit for tat really and l'm sure it will again be more about what we do than what they do on Saturday."
Coventry boss Paul Chandler, a stonemason in his daytime job in the Midlands admits: "I came up to see Kirkham play last week and have to say l was impressed with a number of their players.
"They are trying to achieve something similar to what we are doing in the Midlands and l'm sure it will be quite a game.
"Our run has not helped our league form but we are on a good run now and it's come just at the right time."
Kirkham won't have too much respite after the Coventry challenge on Saturday - Blackpool Mechanics are next up at Kellamergh Park on Tuesday (March 4 at 7.45pm) in what has been billed as a grudge return game following Kirkham,'s 3-0 success at Jepson Way back in September.
"We have waited a long time to play Mechanics on our ground so we will be giving it everything we can on Tuesday," added Fuller.
"Key players for us are coming back at just the right time and nothing would give me more pleasure than to see us cement a place in Monday's FA Vase draw and gain three points off Mechanics."
Defensive kingpin Phil Thompson (pictured) returns from a three match ban for the Vase game on Saturday when it is also expected strikers Sean Paterson and Matt Shaw will have recovered from injuries to add their names to Fuller's team sheet.
Corporate hospitality for Saturday's game is still available at £35 a head for a three course buffet luncheon, a seat in the stand and a special souvenir match programme, and in a bid to alleviate congestion at the ground Kirkham Macs are running a free minibus service to and from Kirkham town centre up to kick-off.
Tickets for the tie against Coventry are still available and can be purchased in advance from Escape cafe on the hill in the town. Adults £6, Kids/OAPS £3.
