Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te kaiwhakahaere o Reading a Steve Clarke me tana hoa o Bradford a Phil Parkinson i whakahe i te whakatau ki te purei i a raatau whakataetae hauwhā whakamutunga o te FA Cup i te ahiahi o te Mane. Kua kii te FA kaore he mana ki te neke i te keemu na te whakawehi a te UEFA mo te whiu moni nui. Me purei ano nga karapu ki te Papa Madejski i te wiki i te Mane, 48 haora noa iho i muri i te tukinga o nga whakataetae riiki. Kei te pōhēhē te kaiwhakahaere pānui a Steve Clarke i te whakataunga ki te manaaki i te tukinga o te hauwhā-mutunga i te Rāhina. I whakawhiwhia a Pānui ki te wikitōria kore pōti e Bradofrd i te hauwhā whakamutunga o te FA Cup i te Rāhoroi. Ka tata a Andrew Davies ki te tuku i a Bradford ki te arahi me tana upoko i te haurua tuarua i Valley Parade. Kāore e taea te whakarite i te tukinga i waenganui wiki nā te mea ka takahi ki ngā kēmu o te Champions League. I tangohia e te UEFA te £1 miriona o te moni pouaka whakaata e tika ana ki nga karapu Ingarihi me te whiu i te FA £42,000 i nga tau e rua kua hipa mo te whakarite i nga keemu e pa ana ki nga hononga Pakeha. E whakaae ana ngā pūtake o te FA kei te herea ō rātou ringa, engari e whakapono ana a Clarke rāua ko Parkinson e whakaiti ana te āhuatanga i te whakataetae a te FA. "Ko taku pātai ki te FA he aha", ka mea a Clarke. E mohio ana ahau e ki ana te iwi ko te UEFA engari me kaha ake te FA. He mea whakamiharo ki ahau te kore e tiakina e rātau a rātau whakataetae whakaaturanga. I whakawhiwhia e Parkinson a Bradford ki te whiringa toa o te FA mo te wa tuatahi i roto i nga tau 104 whai muri i te whawhai kaha kaore he whaainga, a ka mea ia: "Ki taku whakaaro he iti noa te whakahawea ki te FA Cup me te nui o tenei kemu e haere mai ana. He kēmu hanga hītori tēnei. He mea whakamā te whakatangi tere.<unk> Ka urupare a Davies i muri i te ngaro o tana whai wāhitanga ki te hoatu i te ārahi ki a Bradford ki a Reading i te Rāhoroi i te FA Cup. E mātakitaki ana a Davies i te pōro e anga ana ki te poari o Reading i te wā o te whakataetae hauwhā o te FA Cup i Valley Parade. Ka haere te pōro ki waho i te mea 0-0 tonu te pūkete ā, ka tū anō tētahi tukinga i te wiki nei i te Mane.
Ko te tukinga anō o te kapa FA Cup o Reading ki a Bradford hei te Mane 16 o Poutu-te-rangi. E rua rā noa iho i mua i te tukinga anō o ngā kapa e rua. E whakapono ana a Steve Clarke he uaua te rā ki a rātau ki te whakatakoto i ngā taha kaha.
