Sadly I think the Fa Cup has become almost nostalgic bit like watching Downton Abbey where folk look and say arrh wasn't it lovely back then ,.
The competition has been eroded away by the game itself ,to a point where it doesn't sit on the top of a footy fans agenda , ticket prices play a part where families have to chose between going to the Villa league game or the Fulham one , and we know which one they picked on this occasion .
We have to now endure a stupid kick off day / time , on a Friday night or Sunday morning , if it had kicked off on Saturday 3pm , 10k plus would have rocked up made more noise , and the players would have not felt they just on a training ground.
Its life , things we treasure most just slip away , as we get older , replaced by poor imitations .
