Title: FA Cup
Post by: fatcat22363 on November 18, 2008, 06:05:42 PM

Two questions:

1. What if it is a draw tonight? Hopefully we won't need one!
2. What is the furtherest a non league team has got in the FA Cup: was it Blyth Spartans?

Thanks and lets hope it is an exciting night, with the taste of victory in the half-time pies!

1. Extra time and penalties, result is decided tonight
2. Blyth Spartans in 1977/78, knocked out by Wrexham at Newcastle in the 5th round. Telford at Everton in 1984-85, knocked out 3-0 by Everton at Goodison also in the 5th round.

In 1901, Spurs won it while non-league. (Not to mention all those who won it before the invention of the league).
