    The 1912 cup win certainly pushed the team on for the next couple of sea

    ‘sons and only the corrupt FA after the war stopped the team’s promotion to the first division.

    If the Carabao Cup is b0llocks and dun't matter, from where do I get my refund for the match ticket, coach and taxi? Can I have the day's holiday back as well, please?

    I wasn't discounting the cup run. I said it made no difference to the league form.

    No but it earned us a few million which allowed us to sign bogdanovic, Hume and Moore as well as raising the profile of the club significantly and gaining us new supporters.

    Disagree with you about everything you've said in this thread.

    But that's OK, that's kind of the point of these forums. I think I've lost my point, probably best to go to bed.

    Realistically the only chance of us EVER winning a major trophy is one of either the FA or League Cups.
    That being said it's almost impossible to do from the base camp of being a third division club. From that standpoint promotion is the priority. I'm still not happy about losing though.

    Aye, but the League Cup wouldn't have the same effect. We never do well in the League Cup.

    If we had beaten Blackpool, we would have been away to Doncaster Rovers
    in the next round.

    The balls were allocated alphabetically, had we been in the draw we would have been ball number two instead of Blackburn,

    I love these Roy Cropper corrections!

    Is it possible to thus advise as to who we'd have been drawn against instead?
