Eight of County’s eleven FA Cup campaigns as a non-league outfit were brought to an end by a fellow club from outside the 92. Southport, Rushall Olympic, Chester, AFC Fylde, Woking, FC United, Barnet and York City all ended our dreams of getting to Wembley – although it’s fair to say you’re getting nowhere near the Wembley final in May if you’re losing at home to Rushall fucking Olympic in the third qualifying round in October. It’s 16 years since County last slipped on a non-league FA Cup banana skin as a Football League club, which is what the Tigers from Nottinghamshire will be aiming to do this afternoon. The last occasion was in 2007-08, a season which ultimately ended in play-off final glory, but not before we’d suffered a humiliating Thursday night in Staines. Ian Brown and Jonathan Baker are both predicting we’ll be in the hat for round two, but both think Worksop will have their moment on the scoreboard this afternoon, and one of them thinks we’re going to need a replay at Sandy Lane first before we progress. https://thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/county-v-worksop |
