Notes

We hear every year that it’s lost it’s magic, but the F.A.Cup to lower league clubs still has the power to excite the fans.

And with the prospect of a third round tie against a Premier League side which can provide a financial boost not to mention a great day for the fans,the Cup can be a lifeline.

So long live the F.A.Cup !
