No footy this weekend but something to look forward to on Monday evening, the first round draw of the FA Cup on BBC2 at 7pm.
We are ball number 45 and will be joined by the final qualifying round winners. Rushall anyone? Or Tamworth or Hednesford (Gensex will be beside himself with that one!)?
As a Shelfield lad, (just on the border btw) I would love to see Rushall in the first round draw. If we are pulled out of the hat with them that would be great for the area and would mean a lot of publicity and possibly TV interest. Everone’s a winner. Otherwise I just want someone we don’t usually play, (Non-leage or L1) to generate a bit of interest.
Up until 1997 Wales was legally part of England, it was only after 1997 and formation of the Welsh parliament that Wales once again became it’s own Country.
Prior to 1997 an official postal address in Wales would have been
Street Address
Suburb
Town / City
County / Municipality
Wales
England
Great Britain
United Kingdom
A sad day for the people of Wales when they lost the right to be both Welsh and English
