Not many of the other FA Cup 1st round crowds will be higher than 4,000 this year..

Our previous recent FA Cup 1st round home crowds have been
Stockport 3,084
Preston 4,537 (replay)
Macclesfield 2,194 (replay)
Telford 4,415 (replay)
Rochdale 5,180

We do like playing a team from the North West in the FA Cup 1st round don't we!

Telford? I don't remember that....

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Telford? I don't remember that....

Yep 2008 first round replay beat them 2-0.
We were a bit lucky in getting a late goal in the original game to bring them back for the replay which was a much easier game.

One of my favourite matches of all time was against Southend, back in 1985 at our old ground, we won 5-1 and our best ever striker scored a hat trick against you the day he joined on loan from Everton - Stuart Rimmer

I remember that result. We were near the bottom of Division Four that season and averaged home crowds of 1,800. People who moan now should realise that things were much worse in those days!

Wasn't Bobby Moore your manager at the time?

I'm thinking about 4500 on the day.

That's not a bad gate against non league opposition in the first round.

Some of the crowds today will be embarrassing.
