FA Cup Tickets & Players Incentive

Over 1600 tickets were sold by Wednesday for our FA Cup trip to Barnet. The Blues should now have their full allocation of 1915 tickets available but you’ll have to be quick as there will be no tickets available on the day.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 08444 77 00 77 or by visiting the ticket office. Price £13 adults, £10 under 18’s and over 60’s.

All players in the First Round of the FA Cup have an extra incentive.

This is the 125th year of the FA Cup but only the 3rd year of the ‘Player of the Round’ awards, sponsored by Umbro. They select a player of every round to make up the FA’s ‘Team of The FA Cup 2005-06’.

A panel sits to make the decisions, this year it comprises of: Brian Barwick, Chief Executive of The FA. Ricky George from The Daily Telegraph. David Watters, Editor of the Non League Paper. Mark Clemmit of BBC Radio 5Live presenter and Jeff Stirling of Sky Sports.

The player who wins the award each month will win £1,000 worth of UMBRO kit and equipment for a school, club or organisation of his choice and joins the ‘Team of the FA Cup’, who are presented with a silver salver from the FA and a guaranteed VIP place at the 2006 FA Cup Final with a pitch-side introduction at half-time.
