Thanks

The link to the FA provides essential information about the requirements and eligibility - if deawn at home, they can be very demanding - an away match less so, apart from the travel costs. There are usually some very strong sides involved, but I have seen others, both as a referee and a Council Member who appear to be involved merely for a day out.

Harlow Town 1 - 0 Leicester City...in the eighties, One never can tell.......

Getting drawn away is the key! We played 4 games in 3 years and every one of them was away! From memory its £40-£50 to enter, but if you lose in round one you get £100 prize money. You can also claim some travel allowance from the hosts, upto 5 cars, again from memory. Be aware if you get drawn at home you will be liable for this as well, could be in the region of £100 or so. The rules also stipulate your team is covered by insurance but obviously you would specify this for the day which some insurance companies will sort for you.

Definately a worthy experience. We were fortunate enough to get drawn away each time and had 4 great day and nights out, despite only winning 1 out of the 4. But that 1 win was possibly the best game Ive played in. I felt as good as the legion lads did after they beat us!

ha ha. great win though

Polska debut

what a dream debut, doesn't get any better than that. Score 2 then sit back and get hammered in the 2nd half and still steal a win

Yawnnnnnnnnnnn, see another topic wandering off, by getting on to your boring team again. Glue yourself to the subject, seeing as its managment rules, it happens more often than not.

Agreed can't someone cut that feedback loop, it just goes round and round and round..

So how is talking about an FA Sunday Cup match going off topic?

Its boring cuz your are talking about Polska 's old game's again, and thats not got anything to do with next years cup. Fair enough if you are going to enter it, but no need to go on about your previous games again.

The thread is titled 'FA Sunday Cup' so I think that covers a wide range of Sunday Cup opinions and have already offered some advice about costs

Some of us have been banned for going off topic, but now its you it covers a "wide range".... i used to like to talk about a wide range of things, but i cant now. So for christ's sake stick to the topic.
