Alty v Macc will be fun!

Much as expected..

Can't wait to see Liverpool Under 23s take on Accrington

Whoever would have thought that Man City v Salford would be live on BBC One. Pathetic.

Absolutely disgraceful those prices.

They could have at least charged a lower price for season ticket holders and to those who can prove they have been to most of the games and then charged the big bucks to the glory hunters.

Agreed!

If it was me I'd stay at home and watch it on the telly, perhaps they've taken their advice from the buckets shakers.

They picked a bad day to announce it too, very little football to talk about, so it got them plenty of, mainly, adverse publicity.. TalkSPORT talked about it for at least an hour, mainly from the uninformed.. eg "couldn't they have switched it to a bigger ground?"

And Lambs weren't prepared to put up a spokesman to justify their decision.

Supply and demand..

Otherwise known as rip-off.

FA Trophy Draw

https://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/th ... is-m-83106

In a search for a game today I went to the 4th round FA Vase tie between Sutton United (Birmingham) and Bourne Town. Sutton are 9th at Step 6 and Lincolnshire visitors Bourne are 2nd at Step 5 with games in hand to go top. An excellent crowd (official unknown at present) saw Bourne run out 4-2 winners.

FA Vase draw..

That's all perfectly straightforward then..

The magic of the Fourth Round of the FA Cup

It's not even funny.

FIVE days! As you say...

But it means the FA can get extra money for broadcasting rights, so that they can in turn pay millions to the winners, so that they can pay their players £500k pw.

You know it makes sense
