Macclesfield's FA Cup journey continues as they travel to Slough Town this weekend.

A win on Sunday, December 7, would see the Silkmen progress to the third round of the competition, at which point the giants of the Premier League enter the fray.

However, manager John Rooney is purely focused on the task at hand.

He said: "I'm not thinking that far ahead, my focus is on Sunday.

"We know it's a big occasion but as we do every week, we take our next game as the biggest.

"If we're at our best, I really do fancy us to get the win. Then we can start to look at who we could possibly get in the third round."

Vice captain Lewis Fensome added: "For us as players, we know the opportunity's there for us if we win this but we are fully focused on this game.

"We're not looking at anything past Sunday.

"It's just a game that we have to win and we're going to do everything we can to achieve that."

Macclesfield have enjoyed a fortuitous cup run thus far, with home ties to Atherton Laburnum Rovers, Nantwich Town, Stamford AFC and AFC Totton.

However, on Sunday they will travel away for the first time as they take on Slough Town of the National League South.

Asked if they will miss the home advantage, Rooney said: "For us, going away from home, it is what it is. We can't do anything about that.

"The way you have to look at it is its 11 v 11 with two goals and a ball. It's just taking the game as it is.

"When the tickets came on sale they were gone very quickly. With our fans we expected nothing less.

"They give us great support all year and there's no doubt they will be our 12th man away from home as well."

Fensome added: "The travelling numbers make a lot of noise and for us boys on the pitch it'll really help get us over the line."

Slough currently sit in the relegation zone of their league and have conceded more goals than any team in the National League North or South.

Despite this, Rooney is refusing to overlook Sunday's opposition.

"I would never underestimate any opponent," he said.

"We've watched there last couple of games, they've got a few good players.

"We think we know where they'll try hurt us and what type of players they have and where we can stop them from hurting us.

"It will be a tough test for us. Every game presents a different challenge."

As if the occasion wasn't big enough already, the game will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2.

Rooney continued: "There's been a good buzz around the place this week, it's a game we're really look forward to.

"The spotlight will be on us. We're a massive football club for this level so the spotlight will always be on us."

Fensome added: "It's a good opportunity, especially on TV, to showcase what we're about.

"The hard work is done now. It's game time!

"The lads are buzzing, the energy's high, everyone's really looking forward to an opportunity to play on that stage."
