Away to Gillingham FA Cup

[Pedro]

When we get through to the 4th round for the first time in our history we'll have earned nigh on £300,000 (excluding TV money, of course). Gotta accentuate the positive.

Looking forward to beating Man Utd away in the 3rd round

South. Liverpool reserves would beat them at the moment.

We have beaten Liverpool in the 1940 FA war time cup, 2-1 at Anfield and 2-0 at Holker Street Liverpool had Matt Busby and Bob Paisley in their team.

Re the Wolves game, I found this. I see that the ref was the famous (in those days) Kevin Howley from Middlesbrough.

That attendance is not correct!

Hopefully, we will get a decent following down there. If we play to our potential and keep going for 90 plus minutes (or maybe 120) we might see Gareth Ainsworth on his way post-match. I wonder who our penalty-takers would be, if it gets that far? Probably those players who are in the zone at the time.

Up for the Cup!

Up for the Cup!

Am sure that we will be.

Another FA Cup blast from the past. I went to that one on a chartered train, We lost 5-0 and had a reserve keeper in goal. I think it was Alan Coglan, who would be 18 or 19 at the time:

Referee for Saturday is Harry Wager.

I would wager that there is a very good chance of the yellow card count reaching double figures in this fixture. Hopefully nobody sees

Well I was surprised if we can beat Gillingham we will receive £47000 that would help.
Some serious money to be earned.

Until the tax man gets hold of it

Don't forget our chairman is an accountant!

I went with my parents on a coach. It was a nightmare day as after we had left Manchester, a pedestrian walked out in front of our coach and was hit (I believe he later died) and we were obviously held up while the police took statements. We arrived in time to see the second half which ended a miserable day.
