6th home draw on the trot in FA Cup and 11 out of last 12.

Last time we got drawn away in either 1st or 2nd round was Emley in 1991 and even that was played at a neutral ground! (Huddersfield).

Last away draw in 2nd round was Chesterfield in 1990, postponed to midweek (4-3, Storer winner).

Because of the stupid restrictions on seating in the ESL, I had the misfortune to end up in yesterday’s crazy corner. There were no more than 20 of them but they made the whole game unpleasant for everyone sat around, many of which were women and young kids.

First half one just shouted a constant foul mouth stream of abuse at the opposition fans, the ref, their players and ours, it was miserable. Second half they decided to turn their attention to everyone around them and ignored the game. One guy in his twenties off his head shouting “ suck my cock” to anyone who looked at him.

I’m no shrinking violet but it was all bang out of order.

I can imagine. I'd have moved personally, maybe it's just me getting old but we have so many fuckwits

I've no recollection of a postponement but it definitely wasn't a replay.  A massive win in hindsight, beat Barrow in R3 then it was Man U away in R4, 10k of us there.

We also played Chesterfield 2 years earlier, a dire 0-0 at home but another great result at Saltergate, 3-2.

Gretna 93 was officially away. We played in Red & Blue stripes.

Don't remember that, Chesterfield on a Saturday was always a game we'd have a car full for in those days, that would have been a disappointment.

Good info.  I totally forgot about that.  Wierd that 2 draws in 3 years were "away" but not played at their grounds, I'm sure that wouldn't be allowed now.

(Still stands that we haven't had an away day in 1st 2 rounds for 32 years, excluding replays).

Game after Gretna was Lincoln away with that wierd 5 or 6pm KO for live TV, went to that, loved the novelty of the wierd KO time, if it was now I'd be irritated by it.
