Newmarket Hotel shafts FA Cup fans!
From today's Sunday Mail (page 66 if anyone wants to scan it in for us):
"A dyed-in-the-wool Liverpool fan and a bunch of soccer tragics were imbibing freely at Newmarket Hotel watching the FA Cup last Sunday morning when the staff called time at 2.15. Only trouble was the Reds and West Ham were locked at 3-3 and in extra-time. Our fan managed to flag down a cab and make it home to Red Hill, missing only a few minutes of the action. One of his mates ran home to Wilston and just caught the penalty shoot-out."
