Jim Goodwin says that Saturday's Scottish Cup tie against Ayr United will be a new experience for some of his players.
But the Buddies boss is looking forward to what he feels will be an exciting spectacle with than 2,000 Saints fans anticipated to make the journey to Somerset Park.
It's a hell of a fanbase for us to take down there," he told the press.
"It should make for a great occasion. Hopefully we see a good game of football on the park and we go home happy at the end of it.
"It's a real old-fashioned, old-school ground and it should be a fantastic game.
"Some of the younger ones are used to turning up at the nice Premiership stadiums with the big dressing rooms and it's going to be very different on Saturday. It'll be a great experience for them all."
The manager isn't taking anything for granted despite knowing his side are favourites for Saturday's tie.
It's all about making sure we get in the hat for the next round and we've got an extremely difficult game coming up.
"We will be the big favourites in a lot of people's eyes and rightly so being the Premiership team. Any time you go down to the lower divisions you are the team that is expected to win.
"But we all know that it doesn't always pan out that way and there will be absolutely no way in the world that we will underestimate Ayr United.
"We will prepare the exact same way we do any Premiership game and I just need to pick a system and personnel that I believe will be good enough on the day to make sure we win."
