How To Bye Your Way To The FA Cup | Chichester City FC

Chichester City, a club even the locals haven’t heard of, have made history by becoming the first football team ever to receive a bye to the FA Cup.
From the brink of going bust, to being on the best and most important FA Cup run in their history. Chichester City, who were playing county league level (tier 9) football last season, have gone further in FA Cup than ever before. A life changing moment for the club, win, lose or draw, the club is on the brink of gaining permanence and stability for years to come.
A fairytale silver lining to the otherwise tragic story of Bury FC’s collapse and expulsion from the Football League, could the magic of the FA Cup propel the club beyond their wildest dreams?

Silly that people called it shameful to celebrate the bye. It obviously wasn't meant as a stab at Bury.

[@stevedimmock930]

Yep they're the types of people who just love moaning about everything and hold grudges

[@otalaedwin]

Media in 2019, i'm actually afraid about where we'll be at the end of the next decade.

[@anthonycapper1427]

Congrats. Absolutely amazing story

[@B3Band]

What's wrong with celebrating a bye? One team was going to get it, and they were always going to be happy about it. Even more so when you're a club that can make 36,000 pounds last multiple seasons to keep yourselves afloat. It's got nothing to do with the team that was removed, and you're a fool if you even try to drag Bury into it.

I just watched this video after Tranmere just knocked out Watford and now are playing Man United just to think that Chichester played them in the 2nd round.

[@victoriagooner9907]

Absolute class from COPA90. The FA Cup is the lifeblood of football up and down England, Wales, and Jersey. This is amazing to see Chichester City make it to the Second Round Proper. This is proper Non League football! Other stats: - Chichester City is the first club in 70 years to go from Extra Premilinary Round to the Second Round Proper (1949 Mossley FC were the last club to do that). - There were actually two Level 8 (Step 4) clubs in this season's FA Cup Second Round Proper: Chichester City from Isthmian League South East Division, and Maldon & Tiptree FC from Isthmian League North Division. This was the first time in FA Cup history that two Level 8 clubs were in the Second Round Proper. Maldon & Tiptree lost 1-0 at home to Newport County in a second-half stoppage-time header. - If Chichester City beat Tranmere Rovers on Sunday or in a replay, they will become the first Level 8 club to progress to the Third Round Proper since Southall FC in 1936 starting from such an early stage. - Chichester City has won £82,390 in The FA prize money in their cup run so far. This does not include the £75,000 TV money from the 2RP match at Tranmere Rovers. The club will be well off for many years because of this cup run. Hoping more Non League football videos!

Nothing wrong with celebrating reaching a landmark in the club’s history! Fair play to them

[@simono.899]

Non League Teams against First flight teams is normal in German DFB-Pokal...and in England they are celebrating to play a 4 or 5 tier team

[@pgjc6520]

That's what makes it more special and exciting for the club and fans

[@pgjc6520]

And there an 8th tier team

[@JG-ib7xk]

Non league English football is better than Bundesliga 2.

[@stevedimmock930]

Which is why the FA Cup is a lot more special than many other European domestic teams

[@EjvindGEMDark]

That's because the German League is a lot smaller than the English leagues, at least at a professional level. In England players are professional all the way down to the 5th tier.

I'm born and bred in Chichester but because its so close to Portsmouth I'm a Pompey fan like most people from Chi. Because of that you kind of forgot Chi has a team and the only time you read about them is every Thursday when the Chichester Observer is out. Really happy for them to get this far and put Chi on the map (shame they lost) and I'll definitely put more effort into watching them.
