Oxford City defender Freddie Grant has expressed his delight at the prospect of playing at Meadow Lane as his side prepares for an FA Cup meeting with Notts County.
The non-league side overcame Colchester United in round one and will now travel to Nottingham for the second-round tie against the Magpies.
Grant, who is the nephew of former Notts manager Martin Allen and also friends with his namesake Jorge, has described the game as massive and insists his side will not be intimidated by the Kop.
βThe ground and the crowd are certainly motivating all of our team. Our team gets encouraged by that and weβre not too afraid by that,β Grant told the Nottingham Post.
βItβs massive and because Iβm only 20 years old, I only had a year in professional football and never played at such an historic ground.
βFor a 20-year-old or ones coming to the end of their career, every single one of us is going to be buzzing to play at Meadow Lane - the massive Kop behind the goal is something we rarely see.
βItβs massive, youβre pinching yourself up until it actually happens.β
