Match Day Thread Sheffield Wednesday vs. Arsenal (Capital One Cup) 2015/16 Official Match Thread

Updated fo' you. As a total aside I am a huge non-league fan too and used to get incensed every season when Newport got a massive windfall for competiting in the Welsh Cup as normally nobody else bothered and they got a pot of money. They then competed in our league with a big advantage over other teams.... You just don't get the same rewards in the Dorset Senior trophy no matter how many times you're championeees! Guess that's my main issue with this cup. To me, the ends don't justify the means.

Would I celebrate if we win it though? Course I would as I'm two-faced and shallow!

 

So,you have a genuine emotional link to the Club. How fantastic is that.
I have just popped on to wiki and found a bit about Borough,
They were the very first Welsh Club to win a European tie. Now I didn't know that.
But I'm sure you did.

When Saturday Comes did an article on them,which you will doubtless find interesting.

"The curious case of Borough United".

Barry Town also represented Wales in Europe.

Hope you enjoy the link/article.

During their last season in existence I was the Borough's mascot.I led them out for every game home & away
