THE OLYMPICS ARE GOING, THE CUP WILL STILL BE THERE

Hepworth United v Wosborough Bridge Miners' Welfare FC 2.15 ko or an FA Cup Preliminary Tie? I'm going very local and giving the HUFC support even thought hey still have no clubhouse and cannot therefore match the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior County League pitch requirements. They are borrowing a pitch that has changing facilities. Don't worry the work on the clubhouse is starting soon!

So I would have gone to Shaw Lane v Colwyn Bay or Handsworth Parremore v Stocksbridge Park Steels FC for a cup game. How can you not be fascinated by the Cup when you get onto a website like this one:

So far it hasn't been updated for 2016-17 but you can find all sorts of stuff going back to 1872 when the Cup began.
To update yourself with this year's FA Cup news try this truly overwhelming website:

This lot is Aston Villa from 1887 who beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at the Oval. Glasgow Rangers reached the semi-final losing to the Villa 3-1. On their way they had a walk over at home to Everton, beat Church, Cowlairs, had a bye, the Lincoln City 3-0 and finally the Old Westminsters (from the famous London Public School) 5-1 in the semi-final.
Yes I know you cant read this but if you went on the website you can find it.
