Hollands & Blair boss Scott Porter believes his side have everything to gain from this weekend’s Extra Preliminary Round of the FA Cup.

Ashford United are the opponents heading to Star Meadow on Saturday - a side from the league above. “There from the league above us and we know they will be good,” said Blair boss Porter. “We just have to go out there and play to the best of our ability. “It’s a free hit for us. “We’ll go into it and enjoy the occasion and hopefully get a big crowd.” Blair are playing a new style of football under Porter as they look to change with the times.

With a super new surface at Star Meadow, there’s less of the old-school approach. Porter said: “Football has changed. You have to change with it or you get left behind. “I was very successful with the way I played but there are not many players out there like that now.

A lot of the players are now technically good, they want to play football and with the young kids we’ve got they have been at academies. “Look at the pitch we have and the facilities.
