WELCOME TO: HAPPY VALLEY

The Millers faithful have been in dreamland ever since they battled the odds to hold Charlton Athletic to a draw at The Valley in last weekend's "Greenwich Derby", defying a five-division gap to keep their FA Cup adventure alive.

Now, the Isthmian South East side are preparing the humble Badgers Sports Ground home for the arrival of their former Premier League neighbours in the TV replay on Wednesday night, knowing the night will go down in local footballing history forever.

"It's what the FA Cup is all about, the absolute stuff of dreams," said McKimm. "I want to achieve something special here and matches like this are what people remember.

"Coming into the club over the summer, I wanted to make my mark. I only kept eight of the players from last season, we brought in ten others. I knew exactly the kind of people I was after, hopefully the path starting to come to fruition.
