In 1964 we beat Blackburn in the 5th round and became the first (and I believe only) 4th division club to reach the 6th round.
This time I hope we go 1 better and reach the semi final. It is at Wembley after all.

And that is a big IF. Personally I am hoping your FA cup replay goes to extra time and penalties and you are absolutely knackered by next weekend.

Just a little history lesson. In 1964 we beat Blackburn in the 5th round (I was there) and became the first ever 4th division club to reach the 6th round where we lost to Preston (who I believe went on to win it). I dream we are going to match that this year and reach the 6th round..
