It's an horrendous draw. Proper old fashioned giant killers that can't wait to give our young lads a good kicking.
From Wikipedia: Altrincham have a proud history of giant-killing in the FA Cup, holding the record of knocking out more League sides than any other team that has spent its history playing non-League. Sixteen FA Cup victories against Football League clubs have been recorded by non-league Altrincham, as follows: 1921–22 Tranmere Rovers 1965–66 Rochdale 1973–74 Hartlepool 1974–75 S****horpe United 1979–80 Crewe Alexandra 1979–80 Rotherham United 1980–81 S****horpe United 1981–82 Sheffield United 1981–82 York City 1982–83 Rochdale 1984–85 Blackpool 1985–86 Blackpool 1985–86 Birmingham City 1988–89 Lincoln City 1992–93 Chester City 1994–95 Wigan Athletic Altrincham, uniquely for a non-League team, made the third round of the FA Cup on four consecutive occasions between 1979 and 1982.[26] Altrincham drew with Everton in 1975 and Tottenham Hotspur in 1979, Altrincham lost the replays in both cases.[25] The 1992 giant-killing of Chester City at Moss Lane is remembered for a spectacular goal by Clive Freeman.
Got to be one of the four TV games between BBC and BT. Very slim chance of it being played 3pm on the saturday. I like the draw. A chance to visit a ground to play a team we never get the chance to. We could have had much worse draws. Scunny home to Southend for a start. Carlisle having to go to Plymouth.
Reyt tie that. Proper cup match. Reasonably close and nice part of the world too. Shades of Bromsgrove. Definitely having a bit of that, if I can get tickets. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
If I was in charge of picking a TV game I wouldn't select Lee Johnson's sideways sideways backwards backwards sideways backwards sideways team on if they were playing an historic first ever match against a team of aliens that had just invaded.
Don't see it being on tv I'd say Fc United of Manchester v Chesterfield Sheff Utd v Worcester city Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You forget most of the outside world will think we play exciting attacking football as they'll have only seen the Everton performance!
Just hope they don't ruin it and make it a Sunday 2pm kick off as part of the 'featured' games they do nowadays.
"Serial giantkillers Altrincham surprisingly had not beaten league opposition for twenty years, until this afternoon when they comprehensively dispatched League 1's bottom side 3-0"
