Apologies if someone has already mentioned this but 20 years(where did that go!!)since our fantastic FA cup win at Derby. One of my best days following The Gas. Even more remarkable given how poor our overall season was. Hopefully a good sign for Saturday...

Sadly I couldn't go, but my Dad and I were listening on the radio and I remember it like it was yesterday!
I also remember Cardiff beating Leeds (who were then top of the Prem) later than day with a last minute winner at Ninian Park. A great day for cupsets, but they stole our thunder! I still to this day maintain that our result was a bigger shock than that.

Surprised the Dukes name hasnt cropped up again as a potential signing, even at 40, seemed to be him and Cureton named each transfer window!!

didnt we get knock out by gillingham in the end? We did - eventually! I remember getting onto the M2 just in time to discover the game was off. We were then in the hat for the 5th round and got drawn away at Arsenal. We lost the rescheduled 4th round tie 1-0

I was in Washington DC. By coincidence I am in the USA today.
The Americans wondered what the hell was going on with me and my son cheering.
Just feel cheated that the same squad left us one from bottom of the football league in the same season. Thank you Halifax.

One of the greatest away days that was!
I also read somewhere that it’s also 14 years to the day since the game at Fulham. Another fantastic FA Cup away day. I think a year or two before that we went to Derby again and took nearly as many fans?

We were at Derby, Gillingham and Fulham. At Derby weren't we the first 4th division side to win at a premiership league ground and at Fulham the first time the away support outnumbered a premiership home crowd.

Bizarrely I was at the Cardiff game with a load of local friends for the day, absolutely mental stood on the Bob Bank when Scott Young scored.
