HERE in the press box at Plainmoor it's a little after 2.30 and it's the best day of the season.
It's FA Cup first round day and there is no other day like it if you follow a team in the lower divisions.
You get drawn against another team at random, maybe even a team from a different league. And while none of the teams playing in the first round today will win the FA Cup, one of them will get to the Fifth Round or maybe even the sixth, and we will all be right behind them.
Today Torquay entertain Cheltenham. I am the consummate professional, covering the game impartially of course. But inside I am 10 years old again....
I remember that feeling from, oh, was it 1982 when Plymouth Argyle got in the semi finals? I was covering their matches for radio Devon at the time....
