'Whole village' turns out for FA Cup row replay
The controversial replay follows the FA ruling a referee had made a mistake in the initial match.
The FA Cup replay in Norfolk attracted a record crowd of 806 supporters as non-league club Mulbarton Wanderers secured a 2-0 victory over London-based Woodford Town. This rare decision by the Football Association (FA) came after an error during the original match, which Woodford appealed against due to incorrect application of the laws.
The replay took place in Mulbarton, with the club introducing advance ticketing due to overwhelming demand. The team's joint first team manager, Danny Self, expressed gratitude to the fans for their incredible support, while the club's other joint boss, Ben Thompson, stated that it would be the biggest game in their history. A win in the upcoming round would see Mulbarton advance to face EFL sides such as Sheffield Wednesday or Leicester City.
