FA Cup draw - Norwich (a)

[uwe rosler 28]

That's us out with that shocking chilean in charge the quicker he goes the better!

What league were Halifax in at the time?

Old 4th division I think.

What league were Halifax in at the time?

4th wasn't it ? I think those were the days when they had to apply for re-election if I remember.

If Carlsberg did FA Cup draws......... it wouldn't be this one. ;)

I want a real 'romance of the cup' draw one year, like Eastleigh or Bury (a few minutes away from me!), but we always get hit with mundane ties.

 

[PragueBlue]

Have we ever drawn a non-league team ever?

Every other top team seems to have done at some time or another... but not us

Mind you... probably for the best lol

I seem to remember us playing one in the 70s I think. Possibly Blyth Spartans?

 

[xgorton]

4 away games on the bounce Leicester,Watford,Everton cup and Norwich cup we need our key players back.

 

[Alex - Not City Matters]

We played Wigan in the 70s when they were non league.

 

[Len Rum]

We never get those kind of ties do we?
Probably end up with a tricky tie like W.Brom or Swansea away where we can't afford to rest anyone.

As I was fcuking saying.
I'll keep my gob shut next time.
Sorry kaz, I've accused you of jinxing things in the past.

Really boring draw for City .
Norwich City won't be easy .
Will we be having another holiday before an F.A cup tie .
Like we did last year against Middlesbrough .

I'd prefer the mundane.

Knowing us, we're absolutely 100% guaranteed nailed on to get beat by a last minute set piece header against a non-league team

Could you imagine the headlines?

Had a look on Google and couldn't find any reference to our having played them so probably wrong on that one. Someone mentioned Wigan but that wasn't the one I was thinking of.

Doubt it we have a semi final against Everton a couple of days before.

Any chance you could but a different broken record on

But Wigan were non league mate.

Bit of a boring draw that but at least its not at home and we get stung on the cup scheme
wouldnt mind shelling out for a home time versus a team we rarely play or with a good away following
