I know you were probably guesstimating the year, but if it WAS 1989...you should probably be glad you couldn't afford to do it...

Very good point! Ugh! *shudders*
I had a dream about that once. It haunted me for years.

I'm guessing you guys are thinking Coops would've been at Hillsborough but actually this was later in 1989, the season after. So it went... Darlington 6-2 Northwich 18-11-1989 Darlington 3-0 Halifax 09-12-1989 Cambridge United 0-0 Darlington 06-01-1990 Darlington 1-3 Cambridge 09-01-1990 (Replay) Millwall 1-1 Cambridge United 27-01-1990 Cambridge 1-0 (A.E.T.) Millwall 30-01-1990 (Replay) Bristol City 0-0 Cambridge United 17-2-1990 Cambridge 1-1 Bristol C 21-02-1990 (Replay one level after Extra-time) Cambridge 5-1 Bristol C 27-02-1990 (SECOND Replay!) Cambridge 0-1 C Palace 10-03-1990 C Palace 4-3 Liverpool 08-04-1990 Man Utd 3-3 C Palace 12-05-1990 Man Utd 1-0 C Palace 17-05-1990 (Replay) He'd have seen some amazing games such as Cambridge United's best run in the cup, a double replay and their biggest FA Cup win plus the amazing Palace Semi-Final and Finals but would probably have been bankrupted along the way! This is great way for footy geeks to pass the time. Go back in time, adopt a team and see what happens

Man Utd 3-3 C Palace 12-05-1990 Man Utd 1-0 C Palace 17-05-1990 (Replay) I've met the guy who scored United's winner in the replay.

That's the one medibot, I remember doing it "virtually" in a notebook after I failed to get to Darlo. I would have loved to be at the Palace - Liverpool game, it was, if I remember correctly, one of the first FA Cup semis to be moved for television coverage, both games on the same day I think.

That's really rather cool! You and Coops ought to get along. Who do you actually support? I've already linked Andy's excellent blog to mine. I tried to do the whole Road To Wembley thing back in, ooh....1989 or something but was scuppered when the team I was (Northwich Victoria) following ended up away at Darlington and I couldn't afford to go. Yeah, coops& I have exchanged blog links! It will certainly test my resolve when I face a trip to somewhere like Darlington or Hartlepool, but at the moment the not knowing where I'll be for the next round is quite cool. I'm at Dartford v Sittingbourne on Saturday, and then I'll be off to see the winner of that tie, wherever the draw might take them. It terms of who I support - well, I am a Leeds supporter (for my sins), grew up in the time when everyone hated Leeds (and still do). However, I will watch anyone. I have a soft spot for Altrincham (went to school near there) and I see the odd Peterborough game with friends. I now live in Chertsey so my FA Cup quest started with them.

I don't hate Leeds!
Except that they beat us 6-0 in the FA Cup in 1970 when they were good.
Still, it did give us our best ever attendance.
Chertsey are a lovely team, and I had a nice chat with a peterborough fan a couple of months ago.
Don't ask me about Altrincham

I think I remember the Sutton game. I have been to Sutton's ground a few times, but that was several years ago. I remember going to see Altrincham there, and also Bath City (when a friend played for Bath). I have fond memories of the ground, should pay it another visit (its no doubt changed alot!)

I'm at Dartford v Sittingbourne on Saturday, Dartford's new ground is superb. Any club thinking of moving to a new ground should be forced to visit it beforehand to show them that you reall don't HAVE to build new grounds out of leftover Meccano and flatpack furniture.

Unfortunately Martello is quite right, even if he is just trying to be bitchy Nothing ever changes at Sutton! I only have vague memories of Altrincham's ground, because we lost 3-0 and I'd rather forget that!

It's the same terrace that was there 10 years ago with a new bloody sign stuck on the top!
