showing on BBC now
What an occasion? The game is pure theatre......blood and thunder. It's so sad to think about the demise of this once great competition.
It's hard to imagine what this game meant to football fans at one time. The country used to literally come to together to watch an FA Cup Final. The televised build up used to last about 4 hours!!!
If any business had a product so popular and an established part of the nation's psyche, how would they ever think it was a good idea to turn its back on it. Crazy!

It's sad how times have changed, FA Cup day used to be something to look forward too, whoever was playing!!!
Another thing that's been taken away is the climbing of the steps to retrieve the cup, it's all done on the pitch now with those confetti cannons to add the drama!!! 😕
