THE FA Cup trophy is in Fenland today.
Wisbech Town Football Club will play their last FA Cup match at Fenland Park on Saturday and to mark the occasion, the trophy is being brought to the stadium today for a photo shoot with the club's players, management, officials and fans.
The 175oz trophy was brought to the Cambs Times office in March on the way to the ground.
We opened up our doors to the public and people had their pictures taken with the famous trophy by our photographer Brian Purdy.
