Rushall to use home advantage

Rushall boss Paul Holleran today began the countdown to next Saturday's FA Cup cracker and told Hednesford: "You'll hate coming here."

The Pitmen secured a trip to Dales Lane in the third qualifying round with Tuesday's midweek replay win at Alfreton.

Holleran believes the Pics are slowly turning their home into a place visiting teams fear.

"Our home form has been tremendous with six successive wins," said Holleran.

"At the start of the season I spoke to the players about when I was manager at other clubs Dales Lane was never a place you wanted to go.

"Rushall have lost that a bit over the last couple of seasons and I wanted to get it back.

"I want my players to look forward to playing there, but for opposing teams to wake up in the morning to not wanting to.

"We've had some tough games at home and played some good sides but we've won them."
