Spot on. My choice...buy a ticket, make a 45 mile return trip, spend £7 to park, freeze my wotsits off and get away from PP by about 10.45. Estimated cost...£45 and estimated time...5+ hours...or...stay in the warmth and probably see more.
Hmmm! Sith makes a fair point...more indicative of the influence of TV than the attraction of the FA Cup...imo.
