Magic of the FA Cup gone?

Now that result deserves a team photo.

Absolutely fabulous performance and result for Macc, to a man they were magnificent, fully deserved. Wonder if there was a vague Latics connection today too, Sam Heathcote played for Macc, not sure if he's any relation to former Latics chairman Brian
 
Macclesfield match was pure FA cup magic, made all the better by Maccs first goal being scored by a player with a bandage on his Yed!
 
We would if that's the maximum allocation. We're looking at mid table finish now and let's hope for a cup run.
I don't want that draw though at least not till quarter final.
Seriously I'd prefer home draw anyone who may help us fill the stadium 20000 ish
 
We took that many easily when we beat them. In the quarter final. Whenever Latics have played away to a "Big Club" our away following has been double figures up to 20 000 at ManCity and Everton when still non league

Think we had 4,500 in the QF at the Etihad. Sometimes, purely because some of the stuff is non-football and is genuinely funny, read the Everton forum and whenever there's a thread about biggest away followings they saw at Goodison, our name is always mentioned along with the fact that those EFC fans who remember the game reckon there were about 20,000 Wiganers in the ground

We were a League club when we went to Everton …supposedly had 20,000 there (I wasn’t one of them!)

I was at Maine Road in Jan ‘71 but I’ve no idea how many made that trip
 
When we won the cup winning at Everton we were a league club..

I am talking when we were very little Wigan playing in non.league.
I was there with 20,000 Wiganers. A number repeated in 2013

Packed in like sardines in that Park Road end. Verging on dangerous.

We were a league club for both FA Cup games at Everton. The City game in 1971 (as a non league club )there was no segregation in those days but they estimated 20,000 Wigan fans in an attendance of 46,000.
