Coalville Town striker Ashley Chambers says the Ravens can be in with 'a half decent shout' of causing an FA Cup shock at Charlton Athletic next month.

Chambers told BBC Radio Leicester that seventh-tier Coalville Town will "fly under the radar" as people would struggle to place them on a map.

Coalville beat National League leaders Notts County 3-2 at Meadow Lane last Saturday to set up a trip to The Valley - in a tie scheduled for November 5.

Chambers says they are "buzzing" and added: "We won't be daunted by the day.

"There's some fantastic talent in the dressing room.

"I just hope we can go there and give a good account of ourselves, because if we do we will be in with a half-decent shout.

"We fly under the radar because the name, Coalville, people don't quite know where it is in the country.

"We have some really good players here and we showed that at the weekend.

"We can't be taken lightly."

The last time Southern Central Premier League club Coalville played in the first round of the FA Cup in 2004-05, Charlton were in the top flight.

Chambers added: "Charlton are a huge club, I grew up watching them in the Premier League.

"For us, little old Coalville, to go there is huge for the club.

"This is exactly what we have hoped for - one of the big boys away from home so we could go down, enjoy the day and pit our wits against top players like we did at the weekend."
