Nah. £26 for an open stand in Blackpool in October. Rather go to Ponty and stand in the rain.

Llanelli v Neath

Classic match.

Wrong sport.

I'm going for Goytre United to win the cup. But then I'm probably sticking my neck out there.

The absence of the once-mighty six-time winners Barry Town in the second round draw is a bit depressing, but I guess we're, er, concentrating on the league...

It went wrong at Aberaman, SR - http://www.s4c.co.uk/sgorio/e_/aberaman

No Penmaenmawr Phoenix? Disappointing... mind I don't suppose they enter these days.

I'll keep my eye on the Anglesey Derby Llanfairpwll vs Llangefni

I don't think they entered this year. Their league must be considered too inferior for the big one, they're probably in the FAW Trophy.

Yeah. The difference with being a Barry supporter post-Fashanu with pre-Fashanu is the difference between losing at places I've never heard of, and winning at places I have.

Great video, that, I really enjoyed it. Not a huge attendance, though, I noticed. I don't mean to be patronising, it's just that I saw the attendances from the FA Cup 2Q and was amazed at how healthy they were, almost without exception. Only one under 100, I think (Thurrock), and mostly over 400.

Holyhead are a team that can attract good crowds, especially on a decent cup run. A few all WPL clashes, so expect a few lower league sides to progress like last season. Contrary to the rest of the Welsh Football pyramid, the Welsh Cuo carries a decent amount of Prize Money. I fancy Bangor to do well yet again this season, we seem to be a good Cup team and raise our game accordingly.

By the way, why doesn't Sgorio provide subtitles or overdubs when someone speaks English?

It'd certainly bring a lump to your throat if they won...

Leyton Maxwell's career descent goes down another few fathoms to Aberaman then?

[Jimmy Bignutz]

Maxwell has the best goals to games ratio* of any player in Liverpool's history.

* Goal to game.

I like that "Scores" in Welsh seems to be "Sgorio".

Disappointed though that Llay Welfare lost. Is there a better name for a team than "Welfare" anywhere in British football?

[Kowalski]

Sgorio means "to score"

A lovely day; Drenched, nearly bumped into Graeme Sharp, Connahs Quay's goalie had a Pink Kit and their left back wore one red boot and one blue boot. We won as well.

We drew Garden Village, I was hoping for Holyhead or Pwllelli Away.
