The FA Cup is the best domestic sporting tournament in the world.There is a beauty to this unique and historied competition with all its stories…and there’s a beauty to completing your own journey following it. 

Start locally, and explore new characterful grounds, teams, clubhouses, villages, towns and cities. The non-league clubs welcome you warmly,and need your hard-earned money much more than the big boys of the Premier League (some of whom, to be fair, are also included here).

Join the author on his journey through the 14 rounds of the FA Cup,from the Extra Preliminary in early August to the Final itself at Wembleyin May. Part travelogue, part football and social history, each entry includes the full team listings from the games.
