With sincere thanks to ourworldcup.co.uk (our award winning sister/brother site ), we have started a petition regarding Cup Final Tickets . “If you care about the distribution of Cup Final tickets to real fans and if you would like to see a fairer allocation and an open breakdown of exactly where the other ‘missing’ 40,000′ FA Cup Final tickets go, please join is with your support. If we can be told both clubs get 25,000 each , is it not fair to expect a little more detail on where the rest end up? We do not object to the sponsors and all the other clubs in the Football League who participate in the competition having ‘a few freebies’ , but if we are to repay other ‘grass roots’ sectors of the football community/family for their sterling efforts, why must it always be at the this particularly high profile match? Why not give them tickets fro the half empty FA Vase or FA Trophy or England friendlies?
We therefore politely demand changes next year and a fairer allocation. To make a difference , whoever you support , make your mark .” Crispin Thomas- Editor THE FOOTBAL POETS
Please sign this petition if you would like to protest to FA about many fans and followers not being able to get tickets other than through Ebay and touts. Crispin :- (

Today B.B.C post on F.B was titled:Premier League reduced to 18 clubs? I really think it may be interesting to see if this would be Everton’s nightmare and this poem is well suited for this concern.If there would be more difficult battle to stay if there were 18 teams.Great poem and somehow true.

‘Three Teams Worse Than Us’ from our Toffee friend Denys in Italy, also sums up how FGR fans currently feel. Yes, in our case, with two going down to the Conference, it could be entitled ‘Two Teams Worse Than Us’, but three would make us feel even safer.

Enjoy it while you can, although I’m sure Mbappe could well be bound for St James

There still remains a magic about the early rounds of the FA Cup that the premier league / internationals can never match.
Coventry Sphinx v Leicester Nirvana sounds so much more than a tale of two cities etc. etc.

Very accurate indeed!
Palace home for me is always a tough journey as well. From the wilds of west London to Selhurst is a random journey into the unknown.

Lovely stuff for one of the best.
We love him to death down at the Palace.
I’ll post my Roy poem a bit later. You’ve inspired me to finish it.

I’d like to think some of my scarves might get passed down the generations, but can’t see some of the “quality merchandise” I have making much past my son’s generation. They’ll fall apart before he even has kids, I reckon!
