The FA Cup is awesome

I was going to suggests Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Strangely, the only Google "hit" that gets is a post on this forum a couple of years ago. https://forums.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/morcombe-in-the-fa-cup.88681/post-1653639

Even more Attila fans out there!

Some intriguing names in the cup this season :

West Allotment Celtic
New Salamis
Charnock Richard
Quorn !?
And my favourite - Brimscombe & Thrupp

Quorn is a village just outside Loughborough formerly called Quorndon, it was changed to ease confusion with the nearby village of Quarndon. And it doesn't have any apparent link to Quorn the meat substitute!

Famous for the Quorn hunt. Chasing foxes around the countryside in silly costumes.

Any other 'Q' teams (apart from QPR) ?

If the foxes didn't wear the silly costumes, they might be able to hide better

I assume you mean English as there's the obvious two north of the border

There is a Queniborough near me but I'm not sure they have a team.

 

[HoofGrantBrown]

Never heard of that place !

Well then, fair enough! I didn't think they would but I did no research!

Their shirts are cooler than many of our past ones. Perhaps we should adopt them as a second team.

I've found a Quedgeley Wanderers.
Somewhere in Gloucestershire area.

"Got Pneumonia at Billingham Synthonia".

One of my favourite poetry lines.
Special prize to anyone who can name the poet responsible.
(And when I say prize, I am using poetic licence of course)

Ian McMillan? Complete guess but sounds like something from his works.
