FA Cup Results

[ChrisB]

Over the past ?!# months I have put together a booklet of City's participation in the FA Cup. It lists the results/scores/teams and scorers in all of their 294 matches in the competition from the first game on October 5th 1895 up to the last (at Frome).

I have not yet had it printed, as the booklet I did last year about City's rise back through senior football in the '90s sold very few copies, so I would like to find out if there is sufficient interest before I go any further with it.

If you are interested please just continue this thread, and I'll respond when the position is clear.

I've never worked out how to put images on here, but I have put one of the cover and a 'specimen page' on the 'Sports Memories (Oxfordshire)' on Facebook which I know several City Folk do look at.

I would be interested, Chris.

I'll also put my name down for a copy, Chris. Although I have all the results, I don't have the scorers. You have achieved a great result of your own!

I've sent you a 'message' about the booklet.

[ChrisB]

The booklet has been produced. If you would like one then please 'reply' to this posting, or send me a 'message'.

Look on 'Sport Memories (Oxfordshire)' on Facebook if you want to see a sample.

It's a really interesting read - thank you, Chris.

ChrisB - What are the chances of a further FA book? Amateur Cup, Vase and Trophy?

I had certainly thought about something covering all the other FA competitions, but, in all honesty, these booklets do take a lot of time and there aren't that many who'd like them...we'll see.

Love the book Chris!

If you did go ahead and go for another book I’d be interested!

Thanks Mark, glad you found it interesting. Amazing how many clubs City have played over the years in the FA Cup.
I've still got quite a few booklets left...so give your friends a nudge!!
