Despite the fact that Accrington Stanley were knocked out by Yeovil Town in the last round of the FA Cup, they're selling tickets to a 3rd round clash with Manchester United. For the craic, like.
The club have decided to commemorate their cup run by selling these commemorative tickets at £20 a pop. There are only 250 available though so had better be, erm, quick. They're selling like hotcakes and rumour has it that there are counterfeit tickets to this fake match selling at 10 times the normal price, on the black market.
The club chairman has said the £5,000 raised from the ticket sales will go towards buying players. Let's hope the new signings aren't cup-tied!
