In the third round, Albion will play Blackpool away.

I'm afraid I had to look up what division Blackpool are in these days. I'd say we have a smidgin of hope.

Ah that Final on the 1050's when Morteson and Stanley Mathews was playing, or was it against Preston with Finney playing, not sure but we did win - I think.

That would have been Preston. We've had a few cup ties against Blackpool, but always in the earlier rounds. And this'll be the first since 1978.

Ah Blackpool - home of Stanley 'Strictly' Matthews...

It's probably Tier 3 in Blackpool. Don't think I'll bother.

I'd rather be in Tier 3 than Pier 3.

1050’s Bloody hell we must be the oldest two clubs in the World. : who played in the 1066 final Battle and Hastings .1953 the called Mathews final even though Mortenson got a hatrick.

I love the FA Cup, sadly the club treats it as a side show. The fringe players can have a run out. I cannot get excited about our efforts anymore. I would be more interested in watching Maine play Spurs.
