Tomorrow’s game is a step into the unknown, as we’ve never played Weston Super Mare before, and it’s also an unfamiliar feeling to be enjoying an FA Cup run, even if it’s only in an embryonic state. Our replay victory over Harrogate in the last round ended the longest run of FA Cup matches in the club’s history without a win. We’d gone six matches, … Continue reading First Round Memories
Results don’t necessarily matter in youth football, which of course is what I would say after Chester knocked us out of the FA Youth Cup. However, it’s certainly true that the chances of a long run in the competition are limited for lower division sides, and the outcome that really matters is how many players come through who are capable of playing at senior level. … Continue reading The Young Ones
