The Joy of Football Podcast

The REAL magic of the cup 👀💰 Tamworth FC’s 2024/25 accounts show the transformative power of a dream run. One televised tie against Tottenham turned an overdraft into a £100k surplus and nearly £250k in profit 🤯 For a non-league club, that isn’t just a "good season." It’s security - guaranteeing wages, upgrading the pitch, and supporting the people who keep the club alive ⭐️💫 It’s also exactly why the scrapping of FA Cup replays caused such an uproar. What some see as an "inconvenience," the rest of the pyramid sees as a lifeline. The football pyramid is an ecosystem; if we don’t protect the roots, the top cannot flourish. My own journey started on these grounds - careers like mine simply wouldn't exist without them. Need to see more of this 👏 (📸: KieranMaguire)
