The Journey Begins

For several years, my son and I play a game with the FA Cup.

At the first stage, the Extra Preliminary Qualifying round, we choose a local team and check their result. If they win, we follow them into the next round. If they lose, we follow the team that beat them. We do this all the way through the competition, eventually ending with the final.

This year, we are taking it a step further - we are going to the matches.

We want to see how far we can get.

We'll report back on the game, facilities and spectators.

Today, we are heading to Loughborough to see the University take on Ilkeston Town.

Come on Loughborough!
