RE: Away Day Tales: Episode 11 - Aggborough (8th Jan 2022)
I have a feeling my last away game was away to Stevenage in the FA Cup in 2018. My lucky cup hat saw us draw 0-0 - the best result its seen (I think).
Pop quiz, what's the furthest a non league team have gone in the FA cup over the years?
Blimey - good question. Sutton United and Hereford have both reached the 4th Round in my lifetime. Chesterfield reached the Semi Finals but I think they were a league team at the time. If I don't get there, I hope you'll give me some obscure clues before telling me the answer!
Has a non-league team reached the 5th Round... They must have done. But I can't think of anybody yet.
So I'll say 4th Round...?
Further than that and I'll give you a few clues! It was the same year that titanic sank, the team are no longer non league and are in League 2, but were once in the Premier League (94/95 season I think?)
Ha - that's a lot of clues and it's no surprise that I don't remember it!
I'm assuming based upon that it's Bradford City and knowing that they've won it before, I'm guessing the answer's "winning it" 🙂
Great guess, but no.... Sorry i gave you a bad steer it was actually 1993/1994 season they were in prem.. I remember it distinctly as i collected premier league stickers and remember the shiny badge of this club.
No idea... you're going to have to tell me...
Swindon Town got to the semifinals in 1912 when they were non league. They were pretty unlucky too, they drew 0-0 initially, but lost the replay 1-0...
In recent times, Lincoln City got to the quarter finals in 2017.
I hoped it wouldn't be Swindon. We don't like Swindon.
My mind is drawing a total blank on this. No recollection whatsoever!
