Of course it is that day when all football fans dream when the FA Cup Third Round takes place. A pity that economics has meant many teams don’t take it seriously-even my beloved Hatters made nine changes for their game today! Always loved listening to the draw in the past and hoping for an exciting away day at a new ground, sadly this year that won’t be the case! It was an old fashioned day for me because I had to listen to the game (first match this season I haven’t been able to watch.) It reminded me of those sad times when I followed games on CeeFax (younger readers brought up with the internet might not know what that is!).
