Haywards Heath hope the planning pays off when they really do go national tomorrow.
Heath visit Weston-super-mare in their first lengthy away trip of the new National League season.
The long haul west means an 8.30pm departure and a couple of scheduled stops on the way to throw a ball about and stretch their legs.
When they get there, it will be a big moment for Dave Wattam and Damien Lyall as they make their division three south debuts.
Wattam starts in the back row while Lyall is employed at lock in place of Nick Dinsdale.
Skipper Alex Meredith said: "We thought Dave made an impact in the cup last week but we wanted to keep Damo in the side. He is too fit to leave out."
The Heath side otherwise has a very settled look about it as they bid to stave off a third successive defeat.
Meredith added: "If we play behind the gain line it will be a long afternoon so we need an 80-minute performance."
Worthing also face a tough time as they go to title favourites Havant in London One.
Coach Ian Davies was previously in charge of Havant and there are several players who will be up against their previous club.
They include outside half John Firkin, who hails from Swansea and could be handed a Worthing debut.
Paul Cox and Charlie McGowan return at No. 8 and lock respectively.
Lewes have their top three outside halves out of action as they host Charlton Park in London Three South East.
Liam Craig-Davies may switch from the wing to run things at No. 10.
Brighton travel to Gravesend while someone will be very disappointed at Oaklands Park as Bognor visit neighbours Chichester.
Old Brightonians will remember Daniel Braden when they take to the Brighton College pitch on Sunday (11am).
OBs take on an Invitation XV in memory of the former college second team skipper, who was killed in the Bali bombing.
