The lowest ranked to reach the quarters since 1990

According to the BBC.

I suppose it is an achievement even though we really don't want to be where we are right now! Mixed emotions on this one

   "Lift off at the Lane in front of a record crowd of 25,118, as Conor Coady digs the ball out of his feet and taps into an empty net. John Brayford's low cross was a good one but Dorus De Vries spilled the ball after diving to his right and had his head in his hands as Coady ran off to celebrate with a thunderous Kop. Game on."

hmm... record in what sense?...

What about when Chesterfield reached the semis?

They were in a higher position in the 3rd tier than we are now. Same for Wycombe in 2001

Biggest for a third tier club in fa cup I believe

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

There must have been a div4 or non-league club who got to the quarter finals?

Tranmere? Crawley? Havant gotafeckingclue?

Then I imagine we will break our own record in a few weeks time

Now that is embarrassing

 

[Trigger Blade]

They were in old division 2 mid table

It must be very confusing for young supporters, or for overseas supporters, or even for people like me...... Chessie were in what I still think of as Div 3, but by 1997 it was League 2 and is now League 1.......

Yes, they lost 1-0 to Palace. They were the last fourth tier team to reach the last 8.

No fourth tier team has ever got past the quarter finals, And no third tier team has got past the semis.
