I READ with amusement the usual efforts by Stephen Cummings (LET, February 11) whose team travelled to Fulham in the knowledge that there is more chance of Saddam Hussein being the next president of the USA than their team winning the FA Cup.

If only we could be as lucky as them going to places like Walsall, Rotherham and Gillingham, seeing Grimsby put six past us or Reading score five and going to football 'grounds' rather than stadiums.
