Not just that. It's the expense and time of getting the team to the other side of the country. Players and staff with jobs that can't take time off work etc

It's probably good that clubs understand "their level". 

Then you get clubs like Bitton that overspend by trying to keep up and land themselves in a load of financial trouble. 

It's the same at any level and been so since the late 70s early 80s.

The Club i played for back then had a great setup back then with 2 teams with most of the players being from the town or near about . great setup and the first club in the South Devon League to install floodlights.  Great times for the club with both teams having some success. Clubhouse was doing a trade everything was good.

Then as you say Kid "know your level" A new league was formed, Devon County League. Money was put in the team  witch was entirely from Plymouth won the league. Locals had no interest and within two seasons the club was back where they started.

Bloody shame for him, his Dad serviced our Gas boiler a couple of weeks ago saw i had a City shirt on then spent 20mins telling me how pumped he was for this one.

You couldn't make it up, couple of decent chances for the boys.

Know it's said all the time ,but we really need to score the first goal . Boys will be ****** last 20 mins.

Think this is Exmouth's first season up but I went to Westbury last season so this must be there 2nd season. Not sure what league they came up out of though.

Don't know what the ambition of Falmouth or Helston is ,but you could have another club from the far end of Cornwall making the same journey.

Some context needs to be considered as well. Leicester are having a pretty major crisis right now. Their facing 3 financial cases, their women's coach has just been sacked for inappropriate relationships, the board aren't really engaged with the owners, the players are grumbling at Maresca's workload demands, they've struggled to get results, and their rivals (Leeds in particular) have reeled them from what was, at one point, and 18 (eighteen) point lead.

Each of those issues might in isolation be irrelevant, but as a melange of problems they are all having an impact.

Well done to us from capitalising on that today, but as I said a while ago, I actually don't think this was the surprise result that it will be painted as.

Came as a surprise to the Bookies.

Lester Shapter the referee. Think he came from Torquay. He used to run around the streets to warm up for the game.

Back then Refs being amateur still reffed at different levels.

We had Shapter for a Hearld Cup game (South Devon League) and drew the game.

Lester was a bit pissed off in the bar afterwards as he had to give up a first division game the next Saturday to Ref our replay.

If memory severs it was Southampton v Man United. Different times.

I must say the first players on the plane to Germany for me would be those that had done the neatest cuts in the back of their socks.

The Chelsea lads are a shoe in.

In the words of a broken heart.

Going away from bashing Tinnion for a minute, did they say at the start of the show that we have made history by reaching the semis of the youth cup?

I thought we reached that stage in the early 70s and someone on here posted a team sheet from the time.?

Decent half that, made Ipswich look ordinary.

We so need the first goal, if they score first looks uphill.
