    FA Cup

    Before I decided to boycott the Ashley destruction of our great club,I used to make a point of doing every FA Cup game home and away every season.
    I used to love it.Now though thanks to games being moved for TV and the Final played at 5.30 in the evening,I think it's not what it was.
    What does everyone else think or do I feel like this because I haven't been for a while.

    I have to agree with you G74. It was best when all games were on at 3pm Sat and the semis on at the same time on the same day.

    Unfortunately it's all down to the amount of money the TV companies can generate.

    It's not the same as when i was a kid - whether that is because i'm now and adult and the "magic" doesn't blind me anymore or more likely it's the fact i know we can't afford to try.

    I remember it always being the same Saturday as my primary school fayre and i'd go to that in the morning then run home to watch the final.

    Don't think i watched last year and the years before I only watched if i happened to be around, didn't go out of my way to watch.

    Competition has also felt devalued to me for a while.
