Shildon FC are still celebrating after a fantastic victory which takes them into the FA Cup first round.
It is the first time in 42 years that the Railwaymen have got this far and people living in the town have talked of little else since the 6-0 defeat of Stocksbridge Park Steels on Saturday.
Brian Stoker, chairman of the town's chamber of trade, has vowed to shut his butcher's shop so he can travel down to Nationwide League Second Division Notts County for the match on Saturday next week.
He said: "I think Shildon will be a ghost town on the day because this is all everybody is talking about. There will be nobody in the town.''
Adrian Rowland, landlord of the Royal George pub, said that the majority of pub regulars had already planned their trip.
Club chairman Gordon Hamilton is dyeing his hair in the club colours of purple and black to celebrate.
