    The numbers have been released for the FA Cup 3rd round draw and "Barnsley or Chester" is number 58. That's our department number in Nièvre. That's got to be a good omen, right?

    Mais oui, certainement!

    Not sure why it has all changed though. We always used to be Number 3, on alphabetical rules

    It looks like it's just the clubs who join at this round who get put into alphabetical order for the top numbers.

    Someone corrected me on this last time, apparently it's order you were drawn out so that number would have been apparent from the moment the last draw was made, although I'm guessing they must scrap that at the third round seeing as new teams become involved, which is why we've traditionally been number 3

    58 also happens to be out current position in the football league. Just a coincidence of course, but still.
