Chairman Ken Davy says a Wembley cup final is worth your eye-teeth, but he spots a potential "banana skin" in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tonight.
Davy's Huddersfield Town visit League Two Darlington aiming to bounce back from Saturday's 3-2 league loss to Leicester and book their place in the next round.
The Johnstone's Paint trophy offers Town a potential trip to Wembley in their centenary
year, but Davy is refusing to get carried away and will not underestimate the Quakers tonight.
Darlington drew 1-1 with League Two title favourites Shrewsbury on Saturday and Davy knows victory in tonight's Northern Section second round tie will be no walk in the park.
"I know it's old hat but let's focus on one match at a time," said Davy. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
"There are a number of clubs that would give their eye teeth to be in a final at Wembley, including us, and any club would be foolish not to be looking forward to something like that.
"But we don't want to focus our minds too far ahead. We are just looking to this match and trying to get into the hat for the next round.
"In every cup competition an away draw with a club in a lower division is an obvious banana skin.
"Darlington have had some good results and, on their day, they can be a very tough team to beat so it's quite a tricky tie.
"I don't think it would be practical to try and forecast the result, we're just going there to give it our best shot. Obviously, Darlington will be doing their best to make sure we don't succeed."
Promotion from League One remains Huddersfield's priority despite falling to their fourth defeat of the season on Saturday when Leicester City snatched a 3-2 victory at the Galpharm.
However, while the league is the bread and butter, Davy has stressed there will be no apathy shown towards the rather less illustrious Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
"Every match is important, but a cup run in any of the competitions is something that gives the side and the supporters a real lift it," he said.
