BarneySouth Coast RoyalBarney So when we talk about the club's poor attitude to the FA Cup....this is where we have reached recently....
20/21 3rd round
19/20 5th round
18/19 3rd round (Man ure)
17/18 4th round
16/17 3rd round (Man ure)
15/16 quarter-finals
14/15 semi-finals
Over the last 7 seasons, if we avoid those painful plastic devon-based mancs, it isn't too bad.
In the last 7 seasons we have reached the last 16 3 times, way way better than most non-Prem teams.
Please note my account will self-destruct at 16.50 tomorrow
Don't forget that we have come in at the 3rd round stage in all of those seasons so overall our record is fair but not much better.
My son caught the 7-47 train from Bournemouth this morning and is flying the family flag today.
Whatever team we put out , unless it is overloaded with youngsters which would be crazy, I expect a win today.
You are of course correct SCR. Blimey...I can recall MANY seasons when just REACHING the third round was regarded as a success.
Fair play to your lad....hope he has a great day
Yes I remember the days of managing to slog your way through 2 rounds to get a crack at a team you’d only ever seen on the telly and listening to the radio at 5pm on 2nd round day (these were the days when the fa cup draws were only on bbc radio 2 sports report after all the 2nd round games had been played) and finding you’d got that “plum” tie at Barnsley or Swansea etc.
