You will not be alone boys.
More than half-a-billion people will watch FA Cup final
A RECORD global TV audience of half-a-billion people will watch tomorrow’s FA Cup Final at Wembley, it has been revealed.
With television rights sold to over 100 countries and the unusual kick-off time of 5.15pm catering to time zones around the globe, the Football Association’s showcase competition final will be watched by more people than ever before.
In the year when the FA celebrates its 150th anniversary, as Manchester City take to the field against Wigan Athletic, some 500million fans from China to the USA will be tuning in.
Such is the enduring pull of the FA Cup Final, that this year’s sponsor Budweiser has chosen to feature a special two minute long TV film made up of fan photography which has been tweeted to #tothedream from matches throughout the 2012/13 tournament.
