Harrogate FA Cup 2nd Round

Well without counting chickens could we have got a better draw? Without wishing to be disrespectful, whatever team we put out should be more than capable of seeing off Harrogate so hopefully then a big money draw for the next round would be very helpful for financing an improvement in the squad in January.

I can't find a record of it so I'm beginning to doubt myself, but I remember reading something about Sutton United being one of only three teams we've played on two or more occasions without ever winning (the others being Marseilles and Sporting Lisbon) Is this bollocks or do we have some unfinished business that could be resolved if both teams get through to round 3?

EDIT: Just found a third team with the hoodoo on us - these boys back in the 1880s :) (Two draws and a loss in the third replay in in the 1883 FA Cup)

Nothing on Sutton though.

Pedantically we've never played Sporting Lisbon either 

Correct. You are being pedantic.

To quote the oracle that is wiki:

Sporting Clube de Portugal, otherwise referred to as Sporting CP or simply Sporting, or as Sporting Lisbon in other countries, is a Portuguese sports club based in Lisbon.

Just looked. It seems a player  Auden Marsh, had been out on loan at York City at the time of the first game v Horsham. He was subsequently recalled and was played in the replay. Apparently the players in a replay must’ve been available to play in the first game.
