2007-08 v Barnsley home lost 0-1

 

[1966 and all that]

2, but I've only been alive for 3...

Poor excuse!

 

[Suffolk Blue]

I was there to see all of those cup ties, happy days. No segregation whatsoever and no troubles.

You're not wrong there. I miss those days where fellow fans from places like Cardiff would visit Roots Hall and have a jolly good day out with no trouble at all. The memory of those happy Welsh faces shouting pleasantries to us from the other side of a wire fence will stay with me forever I'm sure.

I forgot to mention that easily the best 4th round match out of all that I've seen was the Man City game.

My dad went to this game and said although the pitch was very bad that day it was a great game and Bert Trautmann was brilliant on the day

1955-56 v Manchester City Home lost 0-1
1956-57 v Birmingham City Home lost 1-6

1992-93 v Huddersfield away won 2-1
2006-07 v Tottenham away lost 1-3
2007-08 v Barnsley home lost 0-1

Now this really is an age thing......

So how many have you seen?

Huddersfield and Spurs. Leeds Rd a great ground.

They didn't let you out for the Cardiff game???? You were needed that day in the 4th round. Fantastic win, brilliant atmosphere and the usual "banter" after!!!

Huddersfield and Spurs. Leeds Rd a great ground.

Leeds Road was a proper traditional ground,and although modern stadia has much better facilities they just dont have the character of old grounds like Leeds Road
