A weekend of FA Cup upsets in the fourth round.
Here's a wonderful photo essay on the third round clash between Accrington Stanley and Luton Town. Gives you an idea of what following a lower league club feels like.

Okay, now I'm hooked.
I definitely have to get back to England again sometime in the future to attend these minnow matches in the FA Cup and DEFINITELY get me some lower level jerseys for my collection.
