THE PEOPLE'S CUP

Waiting for the FA Cup Final. The BBC coverage is just as good as those in college days when we would be up nice and early on the Saturday morning, breakfast and rushing our corn flakes and full kit to get into the student Common Room, bagging front seats. Only to find some nutters who had been there all night, surrounded by cans of cheap lager. Hey ho.

 This morning from my comfy sofa, the BBC has spent time on a tour of the St George's Park, the amazing centre for our nation's football at all levels and part of the TV coverage has been on the People's Cup. This is where the various teams from all the categories ended up playing their final games.

Over 4000 teams played at over 240 venues have held qualifying competitions for teams hoping to play in the finals and bag a few tickets for the Cup Final at Wembley. I imagine the lucky lads and lasses will be allowed to parade on the pitch before hand.
Matches began in February whittling down all those competitors to finalists for 15 categories. These include;
Disability Youth, Men's University, Women's University, Youth Disability, Men's College Futsal (you know the "Brazilian indoor game", Mixed Walking Football, Adult Male Disability, Adult Female, to name a few.
