F.A.CUP 5th round draw (Wigan [A])

[LHarper]

If we get through, we then face the single most important point in the whole competition > getting a home draw in the 6th round. If we are at home in the quarters, don't care who we get. I know this season we'd feel confident home or away, but I always feel being at home this round makes so much importance. Got no statistics to back it up, just a feeling.

You'd think that but the results would suggest it's not always the case! We were away to Boro last season in the sixth round and it did us no harm :)

I’ve never seen that goal since being there live on the day

What the fuck was Hart doing?

Playing for a move to West Ham.

35 coaches is about 1750.

Yep and that didn`t include all the people going by cars.It was the equivalent of us going to Newcastle in 1968.

Looks a bit foggy, we may have been asked to change by the referee, wigan’s home kit was plain royal blue with the same white shorts and socks, or they might have decided that there wasn’t enough difference between home kits anyway.

Noticed the North Stand there in its standing season

Peterborough away.....took loads....mad day out

Those who moan about overcrowded trams should have been in the away end that day, fucking rammed towards the back.

That was still the old scoreboard end mate 70/71,North stand was the following season 71/72 and only standing for that season,seats went in for the start of 72/73.
