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?

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

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.
