Already a club with a rich history in the Cup, Kidderminster Harriers boss Gary Whild says he would love another lengthy run this year.
His side was drawn to face fellow Conference side Eastleigh in the Fourth Round Qualifying stage, and now have their sights set on the latter rounds again.
The Midlands club had a dream run in the tournament last season when they managed to reach the Fourth Round after beating League One side Peterborough along the way and were only just beaten 1-0 by Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

And now just one game away from entering the First Round proper once again, Whild says he is happy his team will be facing familiar opponents.
He continued: "Most clubs will have been listening to the draw and wanting a home tie, and it's pleasing for us that we've got that.
"In terms of the league the opposition are in, there are advantages of being drawn against another Conference side.
"We could have been put against a team who are doing well lower down in the pyramid - obviously you won't know too much about them and it's difficult to find out a lot about them too.

"Also, as much as you try and guard against it, you're always at risk of being on the end of an upset against a lower side - that's what the FA Cup is all about at this stage.
"So at least we will know a bit about the opposition with Eastleigh being in the Conference. But against a team playing in the same league, naturally it's always better to face them at home rather than away.
"With Eastleigh being a newly-promoted club, we haven't come across them before, so it'll be interesting. They've started the season well, they've got heavy investment from the chairman and they're an ambitious club.
"It'll be a tough game but we're happy to be facing them at Aggborough and we'll be looking to progress."
