Will Chesham United pull off a stunning cup upset against Lincoln City? ITV is in for a treat!

Chesham United is gearing up for a thrilling first-round FA Cup clash against Lincoln City, and excitement is in the air as the cameras from ITV prepare to capture every moment. The Generals, who have made a splash in this season’s competition by notching up four games already, are aiming to cause a ‘cupset’ in Buckinghamshire. With a sell-out crowd expected at their home ground, the atmosphere promises to be electric as fans rally behind their team, hoping to witness a fairy tale moment unfolding right before their eyes.

With a few changes in the line-up, the team welcomes the likes of JJ McKiernan, Erik Ring, and Jovon Makama. The substitutions suggest a tactical refresh aimed at leveraging speed and agility that may just catch the Imps off guard. Meanwhile, Lincoln City, often touted as the more experienced side, are determined to not allow any surprises this time around after face-planting in previous cup matches against lower-tier teams. Football is nothing without the potential for unexpected drama, and Chesham United, having recently earned promotion to the Vanarama National League South, are ready to prove that every giant killer has its day.

Adding to the local buzz is none other than Alex Horne, the renowned co-host of Taskmaster and a beloved figure in the sporting community. Known as ‘Little Alex’ on the hit Channel Four comedy game show, Horne’s support for the Generals has elevated their profile and has fans marveling at how laughter and football can go hand in hand. Will his irreplaceable charm translate into on-pitch magic? Horne isn’t just a voice on the sidelines—his enthusiasm has turned him into a part-time mascot for the squad!

As the anticipation builds, fans should prepare for a night filled with passion, laughter, and perhaps a few cheeky surprises. Whether it's the tactical battle on the pitch or Alex Horne’s unique brand of humor, this FA Cup opener is set to offer a little something for everyone.

In 2024, the Generals achieved an unprecedented promotion to the Vanarama National League South, firmly establishing their place in the hearts of local supporters. Meanwhile, the FA Cup has a reputation for massive upsets, with countless underdogs seizing the opportunity to shine on center stage—here’s hoping Chesham United can add to this rich legacy. The magic of the cup is alive and well, and tonight, anything could happen!
