FA Cup - Away to Leicester

[Abseits]

I see they've given us 5000 tickets. Bit optimistic eh!? Full-price is only £15 with decent discounts for young, old and infirm. Also, seems to be £5 off for members and ST holders.

I wasn't gonna bother but.... 2pm on a Saturday with cheap admission means I might be tempted. I'll see how we do over xmas league games and decide in 2 weeks.

Glory and a cup day out aside, it just goes to show there's very little money in this competition even when drawing a premiership team away. Big pay days seem to be limited to drawing the top ten prem teams away.

I'd still like us to win though.......obviously!

There's too much football. 50 games a season is ridiculous. I'd be very content with an 18-team division so 36 leagues games played at weekend only with cup games during midweek.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with FA Cup, it's just that it comes hot on the heels of a packed league programme at an expensive time of year. Plus, early January is generally a cold, dank depressing time of year too.
