When was the last time we played a non league club at home in the FA Cup? Looking likely we will be in January now :)

 

Hopefully they'll get through - thats a game I wouldn't mind seeing. Plus after the crazy way the FL penalised them they need the boost.

Watching the Leeds game on ITV4. They're looking quite handy against Kettering but I don't think we should write off an away win next Saturday.

 

by all accounts, Huddersfield should have won there on Saturday quite emphatically.

 

they hit the bar 3 times and only conceded the goals through 2 goal keeper slips.

 

they do look like they're walking the league, but if there is any team in the league to match them, it's us IMO.

Non Leaguers do very well to get to the 3rd round - don't they

whilst we were in Div 3 South in the 1950's..we used to start in Round 1 (like now)

 

Nov.1954 rd.1 v. BARNET (then Athenian League amateurs) won 4-1 AWAY

 

Dec. 1956 rd.2 we played WEYMOUTH at the Dell won 3-2

 

Nov.1957 rd.1 we played WALTON & HERSHAM AWAY won 6-1 (Reeves 4)

 

Nov.1958 rd.1 v. WOKING (then FA Amateur Cup holders) won 4-1 at The Dell

 

OTHER NON LEAGUE OPPONENTS :

January 1939 we played CHELMSFORD CITY. and lost 1-4 but that was AWAY,

 

 

 

thats all I could find.

So not for 50 years then :D

 

I thought it would have been a while. I started supporting Saints aged 7 in 1989 and couldn't remember any occasion in the last 20 years.

 

well it MIGHT be.....? ,

I also noted that we played WIMBLEDON (away) in rd.3 jan.1978 (won 2-0 )

but I think they must have been in the Football League at that time.

Can't recall which year they came into FL ? ..anyone ?

 

and after that ...rd.4 jan.1986 v. WIGAN won 3-0 at Dell (they surely must have neen non-league then) , or ????

Yes they were in the FL then. Although I thought it was 1979. The game was postponed due to a frozen pitch (at plough lane) The game was re-arranged for the Monday night. It was quite a chaotic night. There was trouble with a load of Chelsea fans that turned up, and a there was a fire in a bush next to the burger bar at half time. There was also a hole in the pavement right outside the ground, where some gas main repairs or something were being done, the hole wasn't marked or anything, and a few people disappeared into into it during the crush getting out after the game.
