As we’ve said before, we all have a responsibility to drive this abhorrent behaviour out of our
game and out of our society. No footballer, no person, should be attacked just because of
their skin colour. In a high-profile competition, Haringey’s actions will be seen far and wide.
Hopefully this can be a stepping stone towards a better future. Their stand is to be applauded.
In times gone past, the incident may not have come to light until after the game. By stopping
an FA Cup game in its tracks, the message will be louder. Racists are not welcome in our
football grounds at any level. Only then can we get back to talking about the football.
This Is An FA Cup Story! By Matt Badcock
WE CAN always count on the FA Cup to throw up memorable and unusual stories each season
for Non-League clubs.
So far this is the season for Chichester City. The Step 4 club have made it all the way to the
first round for the first time in 60 years – and then got a bye straight into the second!
For those who missed it, the bye came because of League One Bury’s demise. There were an
odd number of clubs in the first round proper draw so it was decided the final ball in the hat
would progress straight through, with the £36,000 prize money cheque thrown in for good
measure.
Of course, no football club or fan wants to be seen benefiting from
someone else’s misfortune but it seemed fitting that the lowest ranked
club left in the competition were the lucky recipients.
They’ve even made a donation to the Bury start-up club, which
they didn’t have to, showing they understand the importance of the
football family.
The players celebrated wildly on TV and fair play to them. They now
get the chance to draw a plum tie in the second round and even dream of reaching the third
round – what a story that would be.
