I watched Roman Glass St. George beat Holmer Green 2-1 in an Extra Preliminary Round tie on the 7th August. It cost £6 (plus a £1 for a programme eat your heart out Jacks!) and it is surprising how good the standard of football is.
Another plus I have ticked off Oaklands Park, Gloucester Road, Almondsbury Stadium on my ground hopping list

They are some great ticks to get
Following the cup is a great opportunity to cross grounds off the list.
Last season we got to Wells, Bideford & Tiverton and this year so far Shepton, Andover and now Melksham.
One day the list will be completed
