From the Publisher:
How hard would it be to follow every round of the FA cup? All fourteen of them. From the lowly Extra Preliminary round in August, through to the glamorous FA Cup Final at the National Stadium in May. That was the whim which passed through John Stoneman's brain one July afternoon in 2007. Little did he realise at the time that his passing fancy would lead him on a season-long footballing odyssey, travelling the length and breadth of the country, stretching family relationships and his bank balance to the limit.
It was an incredible journey. An eleven month pilgrimage covering 2000 miles, nineteen matches and 1700 minutes of football. Each round or replay taking him from the dilapidated stadiums of non-league football another step closer to Wembley, and another step closer to the nightmare of trying to scavenge tickets for the glamour clashes of the later rounds.
This is the story of that memorable season, of that memorable competition. And where does it start? Why Wembley of course! Wembley FC that is. This is The Road From Wembley....
