As a self-confessed FA Cup nut, Charlton Athletic boss Chris Powell is hoping to take his side into the quarter final on Monday night and prove a Steel City party pooper in the process.
The Addicks head north to play Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday in the Fifth Round, following the postponement of the intial tie ten days ago, knowing that they are potentially just two games away from Wembley and can also throw a spanner in the works by denying their hosts a potential derby game with Sheffield United in the next round.
And Powell is keen to use the example of south London neighbours Millwall, who reached the Semi-Final last season and Wigan Athletic who eventually lifted The Cup at Wembley, as incentive for his side.

"It's the longest Cup run we've had for a while, I know it's only the last 16, but that's progress for us in The Cup," said Powell, whose side have beaten Oxford United and Huddersfield Town in the previous rounds.
"I played in a couple of quarter finals, many years ago but our FA Cup record, as a whole, is not very good - that's an understatement.
"We're in a little bit of unknown territory at present but it's good because it's given us a different slant on things this season.
"Of course, you don't want to be known as a Cup team, but it's a competition we've entered to win like everyone else.
"Only one team can do it but as we saw last year, an unfancied side won it in Wigan, who are now in the Championship alongside us.

"And Millwall also got into the Semi-Finals, so it can be done and we'd love it to be us."
As Charlton prepare for the game at Hillsborough, Powell has no shame in discussing his admiration for The FA Cup either.
The 44-year-old fondly recalls watching FA Cup Finals growing up as a football-mad youngster and still dreams of being able to lead a team out at Wembley.
"Like most people of my age and a bit older, you grow up with the showcase game," he admitted.
"It might have been downgraded in some people's eyes - but not mine.
"I could name all the Cup Finals that I watched as a boy, West Ham v Fulham in ‘75 is the first one I remember.
"I could go through all the teams who scored, because that was the game of the season and I've actually been to watch a number of Finals myself.
"I'd love to have gone as a player. That never happened, so now in my guise on the coaching and managing side, it'd be great to go there with a team.
"I've won promotions as a player and a manager, which are great, but I think a one-off Cup Final is a moment you would treasure, especially if you win.
"It's still a massive game and I can just imagine half of the stadium being the red and white of Charlton but there's a lot of football to go yet!

"I love the competition, I still think it's a great competition, especially now when people are talking about the last 16 and who could get to the quarters or the Semi-Final.
"It's great to be in that position, we've worked hard to get here so who knows what could happen?"
The former England defender knows they face a tough game with Wednesday though, with a big crowd expected at Hillsborough and Stuart Gray’s team enjoying some good form until Tuesday’s defeat against Wigan.
But after winning at Huddersfield in the Fourth Round, Powell is approaching the game with an open mind.
"It's a big football club and city so there will be a good crowd and they will be in good voice," he said.
"It'll be a good game and it's a big game for us as a whole.
"A win could give us a lift and some confidence as well and I want us to progress further."
