    Tonbridge away in the 1st round donkey's ago. We won 0-5 and as you'd expect the locals got a little posse together and got a good hiding from the Charlton boys. I was only about 12 I think.
    I'm pretty sure Arthur Horsefield got a couple that day.

    Oh and Colchester away. We got beat 2-0 and Dick tydeman got sent off I think. One of the stands was like a scene from the wild west !
  • what year stone ?
  • Gawd knows mate Tonbridge was probably early 70's but the Colchester on more late 70's I reckon.

    Anyone got the definitive fixture/result book on them?
  • Tonbridge was when we were in the third division I think so 73/4 I reckon.
  • Last time must have been the 80/81 season under Bailey.

    Beat Harlow 2 - 0 , then Bournemouth 2- 1with two late goals, seem to remember a big surge in the Covered End when the winner went in.

    Don't remember the 3rd rd but we beat Fulham at the Cottage. After the game press asked Hales if we had a chance of winning the cup and he said "more chance than Fulham. Took 8k to Portman Rd to be packed in like sardines and see us lose 2-0

    wasn't that Sheff Wed (first division i think at the time) when it all kicked off big time outside the ground...won 2-1 i think...also the ipswich game was later surely after we beat pompey 3-0 in the replay the round before...or was the sheff wed 'year' earlier ?...also remember going to the tonbridge game...what a shock to the system that was when we saw their ground...didn't it just have a rope or something down one side to mark the boundary...
  • I went to that match against Tonbridge - I think they are called the Angels. Sorry cant remember the year tho.

    I think it was last week, Southend away. We won 4-3.
  • Thoroughly depressing and a sign of our situation 
  • Bonkers, when I started this thread in 2006 it was 26 years since the last time.

    Now it’s a a yearly staple (well, the 1st round is)
