I can't remember what happened yesterday (so my good lady says) Rexn but 45 years ago it is as clear as gin . We played Hendon in round 3 at home and drew. The replay was at Watford and we won 4-0. I drove there and back the same day, it was an early kick off due to the 3 day week and the programme was an A4 sheet of paper folded in half. I got that signed by all the players apart from Macdonald. That's another story though, maybe I should regale it sometimeJust looking through the records for omens, we last won the FA Cup when drawn away in the 3rd round against a lower league team with an O and an H in the name, Plymouth, as do Rochdale.
Before getting too excited, since then, in the 3rd round when drawn away we have since been knocked by Brighton twice. For Hereford, we were drawn at home but lost away in the replay.
We have never played either Rochdale or Boston in a competitive first team game. Boston would be our first 3rd round clash with a non league team since Hereford.
