They might be too worried about falling off the edge of the world if they went past J30 of the M1.
Yes we didnt lose it was the 5-5 game but a defeat over two legs. The decision to start Mceveley and Alcock ultimately cost Clough his job.
Neither ? Friday and Monday nights ?
Army wise I was in the Signals, for 12 years a few good tours and a few not great but had to be done as it was what you signed up for. Was at Catterick at that time, but also was in Colchester amongst other places
I wouldn’t be surprised us getting pencilled in for a Thursday afternoon at 2:30pm with how wacky the 3rd round kick off times are
I’m pretty sure we played them away in the cup on a freezing snowy night - we won 1-0. I can’t remember the details. But I remember the cold!
Looked to the head to head record - it must have been the 1-1 draw in November 1988. I might have forgotten the score but I really do remember the cold.

No chance we'll get 10k
It’s a difficult one especially with drawing a team like Mansfield Town at home, for them it’s not a long journey and with their home average attendances being around 7,000, When Wrexham came in 2023, they sold over 4,000 nearly 5,000 tickets, if priced right I imagine Mansfield could do the same. They will be up for it, the difficulty for us is how many players do we rest or do we go at it like any other match with full squad to win. They maybe League 1, and I fully expect our first team would do them over but could also be the perfect chance to give minutes to fringe players and those returning like Blaster
Its the only 'proper trophy' any of us would ever see us win and I hate it when we play weakened sides. Everyone says concentrate on the league...why...for the pleasure of seeing us beaten in the play offs or getting promoted and then battered every week.
Didn’t Webster break his leg? Did Kenworthy score? Did I freeze to death?Looked to the head to head record - it must have been the 1-1 draw in November 1988. I might have forgotten the score but I really do remember the cold.
An Eskimo couldn't handle a bit of snow in Mansfield?

We have shown we can get to the Semis with fairly favourable draws the major problem is fatigue, if we have got to play against a big side, they can rest a few or at least drop them to the bench and currently we don’t have the strength in depth. If we got to a comfy position in the Premier League like Palace of late, they had that extra quality we are lacking but can be enough to catch one of the bigger sides off on a bad day. I would never say never as you never know in the future an European Super League with a cup competition for them might make the FA Cup very achievable for us if it took the top “best” 6 sides out
I think you're referring to the League game we played there the same season, which we did win.
We played them 4 times:
Yes I knew. Booker's book referenced the 1-0 away win in a blizzard and he noted that was when things turned round for him with the fans.
That wasn't Tracey's debut - he played in whatever the lower division cup was called then, and he made his league debut in the weird Huddersfield game where we won 5-1 despite being largely outplayed, but yes, that's when he took the shirt for keeps.
Tenner or 15 quid a ticket. Open kop
With the cost of “running the kop” including stewarding/policing/first aid etc and then lights, cleaning and all the other bits like turnstiles and the like, is that why they close it as it’s cheaper rather than having fans dotted around to pack them together in South/John Street?
Probably both as there'll be about 10,000 between both grounds
