Ramsgate manager Ben Smith was quick to focus on the number one aim after their FA Cup run ended at AFC Wimbledon on Monday night.
A spirited Ramsgate side earned plenty of plaudits for the way they went about their business after losing 5-0 at the League 2 outfit.
But the man at the helm won’t enjoy this cup run if the season doesn’t end with promotion from Isthmian South East. “I didn’t come here to have a cup run - I came here to get promoted,” stated Smith. “That’s part of the mindset, it’s never been about a cup run. “I haven’t been able to take it all in.
I had it on record so I will look back at some point but I don’t want to be nostalgic about tonight, I want to look ahead to the next game. “If I’m worrying about how it went tonight then I’m taking my eye off Saturday and that’s not going to happen. “I’m talking to my coaching staff last night and on the coach today, and I’m talking about Three Bridges, as mad as that sounds.
