FA Cup prize money.
Upped to compensate for loss of replays I guess.

£15k just for turning up and £45k for getting through.

There's a chance...

Could have been a bigger draw for sure, but price it right, get some momentum and who knows, Round 2 could be more than a pipe dream.

About as "meh" a draw as we could have got, the only more "meh" would have been if we were away at Colchester.

True story, although I guess us winning could be classed as an "upset"!

The first round tie at Stockport was priced at £10 adult, £5 conc two years ago.

Hopefully a similar, sensible pricing structure can be put in place for this one.

I'd willingly pay £5 to watch history unfold!

As bad as we have been in the FA Cup, we have at least won in the last 10 years, unlike the league cup Smiley

FA Cup Memories


I remember this. Hmmm

John Ward the then Colchester manager said in an interview "I've never been booed for winning a football game"
