    Barnsley have played in 4 FA cup finals and only lost 1 of them. Attendances at the 4 games totalled 230,000

    Not strictly true. Two Cup Finals. Both went to replays.

    Also, in the 2023/24 season, we didn't lose a game in the FA Cup, yet will not appear in the Final game at Wembley!

    Strictly true Mr Dawson. Every game played was the final of the FA cup, wasn't it? :p

    We took 12 games to win the cup, more than any other winners. Equivalent now of a replay in every round.

    Not many teams in the however many years history of the FA Cup will have ever not won it despite never losing.

    One of my favourite pub quiz questions: the only test cricket ground to have hosted an FA Cup final.
