Tomoz it's round 1, love it, proper cup footy,

I'll ask the spurs ST I know but I ain't having it that they let them in for free, they have loads of them, often charge £50+ for games and pretty much always sell out

 

 

As for where did our enthusiasm for the cup go, think it went when we got to the PL and stayed there, 13k home fans v villa was piss poor for a semi

 

The only enjoyable cup game off top of head where everyone was up for it was brum, and pre stoke

 

It was more than we got for the Tranmere semi final before we had stayed up.Cup attendances plummeted with the move to Horwich.There were even 17,000 on Burnden for a League Cup tie with Wimbledon the last season

It's tragic we don't respect the FA Cup any more BWFC whole history is built on the FA cup, feel really sorry for the young ones today they have absolutely no idea what it meant to have a real cup run and experience that fever sweep the town I think it's gone forever, makes me very sad, if there is one thing I would like to experience again is a 40,000 plus cup tie at Burnden.

What was our league status during the white hot year or any other cup success? I predict it wasn't fighting for our lives trying to stay in the prem.

Everyone knew we gave feck all to the cup. League first, cup second.

 

That being said. Considering our status. One cup final and 2 semis in the last 12 years. Plus some great bouncing atmospheres v arsenal at home. Diouf sending off? We've done alreet

The Liverpool White Hot game was in January 1993 (2 days after my son was born!)

 

We finished 2nd in Division 2 that season with 90 pts.

 

That was the Bournemouth/Hull away double header season and we took 47pts from our last 18 league games to get promotion on the last day of the season v PNE.

PS McGinlay and Walker shared 55 goals that season. SJM "only" got 22!

So what're you saying Traf? We'd be good again if we got two players in the team who could score 55 goals between them?

It might help.
