Really looking forward to this one. 5300 away fans will crank up the noise and just hope we put out a really strong team and take the competition bloody seriously !
Read a stat saying the last time we went out of the FA cup to lower league opponents was Woking.
Even the name just made me flinch !

5,300! Does the Smethwick End even take that many?

That can't be right.  Halifax, Crewe, Bournemouth, Burnley...?  We've been done by a few down the years.

I went to the Bournemouth tie. A freezing cold miserable afternoon as I remember it. Eddie Howe was probably in their team then. Was it 1-0 to Bournemouth?

What say we go traditional and freeze the pitch overnight just to make sure?

Went to this game as well, bloody freezing it was and a wonder it went ahead. Wasn't this the game Albion were wearing so-called 'moon boots' with nodule-like studs covering the whole of the soles? And was this one 1-0 as well?
