Nothing as organised as that. Making up for lost ground over the past couple of years by getting to as many matches as possible. I missed the second qualifying round completely because of Boro commitments. Only one team I've seen in the Cup this season is still in it.
 
I'm off to Harrogate this afternoon for my seventh FA Cup game of the season, one from each of the rounds starting at Extra Preliminary back in August at Ryhope.

I haven't been following the winner either, just going wherever I fancy. I plan to watch the Boro from the third round onwards although as we don't seem to value the competition I suspect it might just be the single game.
 
Brilliant to hear all these stories of people still believing in the fa cup.
My lads goalkeeper coach is Adam Collin who now plays for Basford so we went down to watch them when ironically, they got beat by Banbury
 
I think the magic of the cup is alive and well, usually until around the 4th round.

What killed it after that was the 12 seasons for the mid-90s onwards when Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea started playing weakend teams AND still won it between them every year. By my could those 4 have won 21 of the last 26 FA cups without taking it seriously.

I always think the year Man U were asked to sit out is unfairly used as an excuse to beat them. The decline started before that. That event in itself was trivial.
