You obviously didn't look at the results from the last round as there were multiple clubs which beat teams from 1 to 3 divisions higher than their opponents. This is far from being a sure thing.

Re: FA Cup
Beating teams above your pedigree is always a possibility, we could/should have beaten Middlesbrough and that’s the magic of the cup. I’m not worried about a part time team 3 leagues below us, if (and it’s a big if at present) we play our game it’ll be a formalityrussell_anderson wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 10:31 amYou obviously didn't look at the results from the last round as there were multiple clubs which beat teams from 1 to 3 divisions higher than their opponents.

Re: FA Cup
Make no mistake they will give us a game.
Re: FA Cup
We should have beaten Middlesbrough, you must have been to a different game to me. They murdered us for 80 minutes and we could have been 10 down at halftime.bamber678 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:06 pmBeating teams above your pedigree is always a possibility, we could/should have beaten Middlesbrough and that’s the magic of the cup.

Re: FA Cup
Ancient history I know but should be ingrained in Holker Street folklore. Our 48 years in the wilderness sprang from an FA Cup match where the big team (Newcastle) treated the small team (Hereford) with contempt thinking they just had to stroll around and they would lie down to have their tummies tickled. and there was a far bigger gap division wise than there is between us and Banbury. They are probably feeling invincible at the moment with their record.
Re: FA Cup
FCUM were doing pretty well when we played them in the Trophy at Holker Street.
We thought we weren't doing too badly when we played them in the Cup at Gigg Lane.
We know how both games ended...

Re: FA Cup
Tickets now available on the Club Website. There is an error as it says only one SEATED ticket may be purchased per Season Ticket Holder, but I have spoken to someone at the Ticket Office who says that covers both seated AND standing tickets. So....only one ticket per Season Ticket holder may be purchased, full stop. That's my missus not able to go now.

Re: FA Cup
Cheers for the offers here and by pm, but Missus decided she doesn't want to go to the match now, so problem solved, she'll have a nap at the hotel .
Thanks for the offer though.

The Capacity for the Banbury game will be 2,400, in line with FA regulations Barrow are allocated 15% of the Capacity which will be 360.

Video of Banbury's win at Royston the other night. Their second goal is a cracker...
