Fair play to @HarryMaguire93 who could have watched the game from the boardroom but instead spent the time signing shirts and having photos. Too many times have I seen Premier League footballers just ignore fans. Hopefully this is the start of a shift in mentality of pros.

This is why FA Cup replays need to stay. That season with a much smaller squad than any Premier League side, @LincolnCity_FC played 61 matches and still managed to reach quarter finals of FA Cup, semi finals of FA Trophy and win the @TheVanaramaNL .

And the dream killers want to stop FA Cup replays. That FA Cup run was a game changer for our club. It's not only the money but the increased support and the incredible memories that stay with you for ever. But its unfortunately all about the big boys and more games in Europe.
