The scenes when United fans start arguing amongst themselves wheather they're an elite club or not
A joyless arsehole.

It's good to see your local non league clubs progress to the proper rounds.

We (FC) played Guiseley at home yesterday

They were in a league that received a national league bailout, in their case just over £30k a month.

We are only allowed 600 fans against an average of 1600 usual attendance, so we lose the gate receipts and in ground spend of 1000 spectators. We don't get a penny support

Notwithstanding, we were still obliged to give them 50% of our gate receipts from yesterday,

No crowds at all to be allowed in for FA Cup games

No gate money, no bar money and no prize money if you lose.

Killed any fun out of qualifying stone dead.

That bird who did the draw was dreadful. If you can’t read the correct team name out which is written against the number, you’ve obviously got the gig for other talents

Lynsey Hipgrave, long term sidekick of Danny Baker and usually efficient. Tonight was almost on the Ortis Deeley at the World Athletics levels of incompetence.

Wigan Athletic v Chorley, a repeat of the 1977 Lancashire Junior Cup Final.

7 miles separate the club's,they met in a pre season friendly three years ago which Wigan won 14-0.

Or maybe not.

Non elite sports to be banned during lockdown.

No clarification on what happens when non elite meets elite.
