FA Cup online

AN FA Cup qualifying round tie that would normally attract a crowd of about 90 people could boast a potential global audience of 700 million after an agreement was reached to broadcast tomorrow's match on the social networking site Facebook. The extra-preliminary round fixture between Ascot United and Wembley will become the first match ever to be broadcast live on the site after a deal was struck between the Football Association and the competition's new main sponsors Budweiser. Ascot chairman Mike Harrison said: "Naturally this is the biggest thing that has ever happened to the club."
