Thanks for that but I attended three of the four games. The fourth one at OT, I was forced to swerve due to the birth of my eldest!

I too saw three of the four games also missing the return at Old Trafford.  Different reason though... My Dad wouldn't let me go... School the next day....

I'll take a chance at football league over everything at this point.

Happy to have 10 less games in the boys legs for the minuscule chance of drawing a premier league team we get patted on the head by.
Exactly this ,  Mind you cup runs do bring in the big  bucks of course , we missed out of another chance with the  last minute goal by Pompey with the winners facing our old foes Spurs.  And the glory of course , remember Hereford getting into the FL in 1972 without EVER winning the Southern League title !!!

Portsmouth were away to Fleetwood in the round after they beat us.

Yeah, your'e spot on mate . I meant Colchester in 2016 , but they faced Spurs in R4 anyway . Need to research before trusting my fading memory 😀

Almost makes me glad we lost. What a terrible draw that was - on a par with Maidstone getting Stevenage this season (albeit at home).
