Yesterday’s jaunt to the
Etihad could have put an end to this season’s sequence of FA Cup ties visited
(one from every qualifying round so far) but fortunately the game at Hartlepool
was scheduled for today so I was able to keep the run going for another round
at least; there were significant contrasts in the two matchday experiences as
today I was on my todd, the weather was wet and windy, the crowd was fifty
thousand fewer (but no less enthusiastic), and the players weren’t household
names, but on the other hand it took only thirty minutes to get to the ground
and I was closer to the action.
