GRAYS have had their fair share of massive games over the past year but according to their manager, Mark Stimson, Friday's FA Cup Second Round match at Mansfield is the "biggest match in the club's history."

Forget last season's FA Trophy final win at Villa Park and ignore the game at Southport, which saw them equal the Conference's best ever start to a season, Stimson says the trip to League Two Mansfield, is the highlight of the club's 115-year history.

"I know we had the FA Trophy final last year but this is the biggest game this club has ever been involved in," he said. "The financial implications alone are massive and to think if we get through to the next round we could be drawn with someone like Manchester United."

Blues could earn in excess of £100,000 from tonight's game, which is being shown live on Sky Sports, if you calculate the money made from TV, gate receipts and prize money.

Mansfield are struggling in League Two and sit just five places above Grays in the football ladder but their results have picked up since they installed ex-Sheffield Wednesday player Peter Shirtliff as manager last month.

Stimson said: "They are a league side and have been for years so they have some quality. They'll be fancying their chances as well because they'll be thinking exactly the same as us and looking at drawing a Premiership club in the next round.

"It's going to be a tough game and we are going to have to work very hard but it can be done."

Grays should be able to call on centre back, Stevland Angus, who has missed the last two league games but who has trained throughout the week and he should come in for loanee Nathan Koo-Boothe. Jamie Stuart is still suspended so Lee Matthews is likely to retain his place.
