Director Statement

Road to F.A. Cup is the biggest passion-project we've ever embarked on, taking nearly ten years to complete owing to real-life scenarios that affected the football stadium we were filming at. We had to change our original ending and incorporate reality to our story which ending up being better than we ever could have planned for.

We're hugely proud of what we've achieved, and feel audiences who enjoyed The Office, The Thick of It, Hardy Bucks, Trailer Park Boys and This Country will really love Road to F.A. Cup.
