The magic of the FA Cup compelled crazy Salisbury fans to queue up for tickets for their forthcoming game against Forest at 5am yesterday – over the course of the day they sold just under 1,200 tickets. The reason I consider them crazy for this early morning activity is because they still have more tickets to sell – starting this morning at 9:30am for supporters with vouchers from Salisbury City’s last game against Enfield.
If there are any tickets remaining after tomorrow, then they go on general sale to non-Enfield voucher holders; with the proviso that they can provide identification to prove they are infact a citizen of Salisbury. I imagine they will have sold out pretty much before then anyway, such is the lure of the Smoulderwood bandwagon rolling into town! Arf. I shouldn’t joke really, it’s a big deal for a team like Salisbury, and an opportunity for Forest to make a real arse of themselves on national telly.
But the best news of the day from Wiltshire is… wait for it… they have manufactured commemorative “City-Forest souvenir scarves” as well as the obligatory t-shirts – it’s not on a par with the Weymouth-Forest souvenir sausages; but I suppose it will just have to do – it tickles me anyway, I’m probably just bitter that I couldn’t get a ticket!

I must confess to pinching the picture myself, so whilst I have no objection to you using it, I’m not really in a position to give permission!
