Introduction


Welcome to the blog that records a personal journey through the football season from a North East perspective.

For 2017-18 A Good Cup Run will not restrict itself to cup games. Although priority will be given to Cup, Vase and Trophy ties, some more workaday matches from the Northern League, the Northern Premier League, and the National League North may be covered.

2014-15 Season Preview

This year’s Good Cup Run will have a change of emphasis from taking in a match from every round of the FA Cup and FA Vase, having completed two full Vase runs from qualifying round to Wembley final, and one complete FA Cup run from extra preliminary round to quarter final.

Instead, this season I will be following the fortunes of my closest 13 clubs (all within 25 miles) taking in matches in the four main cup contests – the FA Cup, Trophy and Vase, and the League Cup – to see which is the last team standing.

The thirteen (hopefully lucky rather than unlucky) clubs are, in reverse order of status:

From the Northern League Division 1: Billingham Synthonia, Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland; Crook Town, Durham City, Guisborough Town, Shildon, West Auckland Town, Marske United.

From the NPL Division 1 North: Darlington 1883, Spennymoor Town

From League 2: Hartlepool United


From the Championship: Middlesbrough
