Christopher Pincher Supports Tamworth Football Club at Everton

Tamworth’s Member of Parliament, Christopher Pincher, travelled to Goodison Park to show his support for Tamworth Football Club in their FA Cup third round tie against Everton last Saturday.   Mr Pincher said that he was proud of the players and they too should be proud of their performance especially considering the ninety five league places which separate the two clubs.

After the game, Mr Pincher said:

“All of the players and backroom staff should be enormously proud of their efforts in order to reach this stage of FA cup and were doubly rewarded with an opportunity to play a Premier League team for the first time in their history.”

Mr Pincher added:

“Despite the absence of a cup upset it was an emphatic performance by the Lambs players squaring up to a strong Everton starting XI full of international experience.  The five thousand travelling fans also did their bit to rally the team singing loudly for ninety minutes making for a great atmosphere in the stadium.”

“The players worked hard for the entire game playing on a pitch which is much wider and much longer than our own ground and against top flight players.   Everton’s boss David Moyes must also be congratulated by making a point of shaking hands with every Tamworth player as they left the pitch.”

Mr Pincher commiserated the team and wished them luck for the remainder of the season hoping that the end of the current season will not be quite a dramatic as the last.
