FA Cup

2 weeks ago I saw Barking get knocked out in the FA Cup Preliminary round 2-3 to Ilford who are one league below.

Anyway if turns out Ilford fielded an ineligible player so the game will be replayed tomorrow at 3pm.

I can’t go unfortunately but it is interesting these things happen right down the pyramid. Ilford are step 5.

Ilford are also The Foxes and they play in blue and white. I’ve been once but the ground has a running track and when I went there were maybe 20 fans and they only had cans of Fosters. Step 5 is a bit low for me too I’m much happier with Barking at step 4 who have a crap clubhouse but a range of beers.
 
I was Senior assistant Ref in a couple of early rounds of the FA Cup, Minehead V Bridgewater & St Blazey (Cornwall) V Tavistock (Devon) also Reffed a good few of the Ladies County games around the South West, back in the days when my knees worked… 😊👍

Incredibly well run club I just love being chilled, sit or stand, beer where you want, no queues for a piss, decent pie and chips from a fierce old lady away fans up for a laugh (usually) and no sniper in the stands to cause loads of f’kin about every time there’s a tackle, all for a tenner
