Every footie fan in the world would have been rooting for Stanley
Imagine the advertising revenues Sky sport would have made if only fate had intervened.
As Sky now control football, perhaps they should lobby the FA to ensure that, in future, premier league teams can only be drawn against league 2/non-league teams in rounds 3 & 4.
This would ensure a bumper payday for lower league clubs, who need it the most. After all, football is in the entertainment business.
Where's the FA Cup magic in watching premier league teams battle out scoreless draws in round 3?

don't panic, we could get them in the next round, if CITY get through.
