FA Cup Brainteaser

[ChrisB]

As before the Colchester game, a few Cup-related brainteasers between now and Saturday...

This year City have stayed in the Cup a Round longer than their near neighbours, United.

In 2011/12 we went out a week later than United when it needed a replay for Redbridge to beat us, ensuring neither Oxford team reached Round Two, but, before this year, when was the last time that City went a whole Round (or more) than United in the competition?

Any ideas yet???

Yes indeed.
And, slightly oddly, both sides lost to the same opponent that year. Slough won 4-3 at The Manor in the Preliminary Round , and then won 2-1 at The White House in a First Round Qualifying Replay.

Don't know where I got that from, somewhere in the depths of my 'small' mind!! Did not remember Sough!
