I've decided after much heart wrenching to abandon the Metropolitan Police FC as my club of choice for the 1st Round. Quite frankly, they are a fraud of a club with not a single employee of HM constabulary on the books and I hope they get trounced about 8-0!
As a result, I've decided to follow the fortunes of Weston-Super-Mare. Partly because any town with "Super Mare" (Latin for "Above Sea" apparently) is alright by me and that I once went on holiday to Brean Sands Pontins, which still exists to this day!
Anyway, enough nostalgia and it's back to the action. They have a home tie against either Wrexham or Harrogate which should bring in much needed revenue with a bumper crowd of around 75.
They are in the same division as our local favourites, Concord Rangers, but it's fair to say they could have got off to a better start! .. That said, the cup is a great leveller and all that, so anything can happen.
So, play up "The Seagulls" and onwards into Round Two!
