At 2:00 p.m. Sunday, the last show of the Great American Circus Uncle Sam will start in Stevenage. During the last week, a large upper draped Stars and Stripes took the eyes of those who pass through the exhibition of Fairlands Valley and has been a playground for children in their mid-term break. As some enjoy an evening beyond the hope of their parents could directly across the street at Lamex Stadium, there is another screen where men are made to look like clowns.

for Tottenham was in town to play a fifth-round link of the FA Cup is sure to test the love of competition Stevenage. It's a special feeling started in 1998 when, as part of the Conference, held in Newcastle, then the last game for the Premier League title with a 1-1 draw in the fourth round, and improved after the opposition that defeated the same 3-1 in the third round of last season.

Harry Redknapp next in third place in the Premier League and considered by many as the strength of the most devastating attack in England. The bookmakers have 2-7 in the League by beating his rival and the other with the kickoff at the same time as the start of the circus, it may well be that Uncle Sam does not provide the best "non-action stop "in the city on Sunday.

It is fear that has gripped the guests. This, after all, is a club that has seen little success in recent years, winning the Blue Square Premier League in 2010 before finding a second promotion 12 months later, beating Torquay in League Two play-off final. Given that currently sit sixth in League One, who has just completed the double in third place, and with better resources, Sheffield Wednesday, perhaps not surprising that the visit of Spurs is considered by players of Stevenage as a opportunity rather than a test.

"Spurs are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the country, but there is no fear among us, not our mentality," said Chris Beardsley, top scorer in Stevenage this season with nine goals, including two from the second round 3-0 win at Stourbridge. "As a team, we have been together for over two and a half years now, and have proven ourselves in the big games, like against Newcastle last season and play-off final. So we know that are capable of. "

Stevenage last season, doubled Stoke City in the Premier League and has been little change in its direct approach, as Beardsley was compared with the Wimbledon Crazy Gang Westley and successor, Gary Smith, describing as "intransigent".

"In modern football, you tend to find computers that are not equipped as competitive as this group," Smith said 43-years. "There are good players here and when the opportunity arises to play good football. But, yes, we can say that we are an" up-and-a-'em fast, high-pressure side, and we will have to impose the [Tottenham]. If we do not become a very difficult 90 minutes for us. "

Smith arrived at Stevenage, in late January, after leading the Colorado Rapids in MLS title in 2010 and the play-off a year later. Before that, he also worked as a scout based in Spain for Arsenal. This is a rather exotic background for a man now in charge of a team that still has its roots in the minor leagues, but you can not deny his excitement about what is potentially coming. "The decision to return to England was taken after I spoke with President Stevenage [Phil Wallace] and I realized that the club is moving in the right direction," said Smith, whose father, Roger, Spurs was when the club won the double in 1961, after being raised a short distance from White Hart Lane. "When I came here a case of mixing with what was already happening and will not change too much. Everything is on the promotion and the other is a realistic ambition for us this season. "
