FA unveils £1 Cup ticket scheme
Children will be able to watch selected FA Cup third round matches for only £1 as part of the Football Association's newly-announced 'One FA Cup' promotion.
Adults buying full-price tickets for the games at Blackburn, Sunderland, Plymouth, Huddersfield, Bolton and Wolves can take a child along for £1.
"The third round of the FA Cup has a unique place in the calendar," said FA chief executive Brian Barwick.
"We want to give families the chance to experience the magic of the Cup live."
The FA is funding the initiative, which covers both home and away fans, and has chosen a geographical spread of matches that also feature sides from various levels.
The third round of the tournament takes place on the weekend of 5-6 January, with 64 teams competing.
The games selected are Blackburn v Coventry, Plymouth v Hull, Bolton v Sheffield United, Sunderland v Wigan, Huddersfield v Birmingham and Wolves v Cambridge.
