[Football] Chichester City already in FA Cup 2nd Round

[Nottseagull]

Last ball out, got a bye because of Bury.
A bit more luck in the Second Round could see them face Albion or Southampton in the Third. Or Liverpool or Chelsea or Manchester.... for a club who started off in the Extra Preliminary Round on 10 August amongst these, half of which you've never even heard of before!

West Sussex la la la....West Sussex la la la

That's what the Chichester manager was jokingly hoping for when interviewed on Saturday.

Prize money, time to catch up on league games and hopefully a good draw and a chance to make the 3rd round proper.

Fantastic stuff.

Did they say they are also the lowest league side in the FA cup.

I heard that, and I've got to admit my first reaction was that I'm not over enough the demise of Bury to hear jokes about it. Probably i'm being a bit precious I suppose.

I do not think in anyway it was a slight at Bury. I would rather a lower league team got it over one of the big sides.

In the introduction to the draw, it showed the road to Wembley, featuring Solly's equaliser against Millwall & [MENTION=5]Turkey[/MENTION] celebrating widely with the Albion fans.

I thinks that’s silly. Why ? Their chance to buy a new tea urn and re- upholster the bench in the bar and they give it away. 36 k apparently...

 

[Frutos]

Very classy from Chichester.

Hope they give them a fiver, why should they give away their chance for a bit of financial security to a club that spunked theirs away on big wages

Won't the money be going to fans setting up a new club and renting Gigg Lane?

Think they're making a donation, still nice touch, but may not be the full amount?

It's will not be the full amount. They are not daft

I know even a run in the earlier rounds was great for Arundel in terms of revenue
