FA Cup distraction to fight Cambridge Utd

The Football League clubs begin their FA Cup campaign this weekend and a number of interesting games have been draws against teams that have gone through qualifying to reach the competition proper. Huddersfield Town is a club facing the club travel to the Conference of Cambridge, who are struggling to find consistency as they are consumed in the bottom half of the table Blue Square Premier. Despite the excitement among fans of the U in the draw for the first round, and the subsequent premium ESPN decided to televise the game, manager Martin Ling was quick to emphasize that you should not get in the way of "bread and butter "which is the league.

Before the start of the season, realistic expectations among the faithful Abbey Stadium was a serious challenge for the playoffs, something the club has reached twice during the previous three seasons before suffering defeat at Wembley. Although this seems very unlikely at this point after a disappointing start of the season still remaining facilities are available which means that top-five finish is not impossible.

Faithful to the memory of a great 2007-08 season, when their side, then managed by Jimmy Quinn, a return to fall close to the previous year, the end of the second in the league and reach the third round of the FA Cup. It 'was the only goal of the last two minutes, ending the hopes of repeating against the wolves, but the main memory is held every year at Wembley defeat Exeter City, which has prevented the United Football League playing for the first time since 2005.

With Exeter promoted to the League on the right and stay there for a second season and Cambridge always a League there can be no doubt that the vast majority of fans to quit Molineux memory had made a difference in promoting the application of this season . While revenues of £ 67,500 from television to make equality Huddersfield will bring a great boost to control the budgets of the club and off the field, the day will be a small part to play in judging the success of the season a whole, regardless of the results.

Arguably, the Exeter and Burton both benefited from the massive turnover of the trip to Old Trafford in the competition in previous years, and are now the Football League, but there can be no doubt that most fans would have given up Cambridge a great day, if it could be exchanged in a few years on a rainy Tuesday evening in Accrington.
