YORK City boss Gary Mills has insisted he does not have a preference as to whether his team go on to visit Bath or Grimsby in the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy.
The Minstermen have been handed a long haul to Blue Square Bet Premier anchor club Bath or a short trip to in-form neighbours Grimsby should they defeat Ebbsfleet at Bootham Crescent in next Tuesday’s rearranged third round tie.
Bath are due to host to Grimsby in their rescheduled tie tonight with Mills saying: “The draw could have been better but I don’t want to talk too much about it because we’ve got to get through Ebbsfleet first.
“I don’t have any preferences whether it’s Bath or Grimsby next and we’ve got to forget all about the Trophy for now and prepare for a massive league game against Grimsby on Saturday.”
FA Trophy quarter-final draw (ties to be played on Saturday, February 25): Cambridge United or Guiseley v Dartford or Wealdstone; Kidderminster or Luton v Gateshead or Alfreton; Bath City or Grimsby v York or Ebbsfleet; Northwich or Hampton & Richmond Borough v Newport or Carshalton.
