Leicester City v Q.P.R Match Type Thread. on 15:10 - Jan 9 by DannyPaddox
In all the excitement I forgot to qualify the question by adding beating a team in a league above us ie. When was the last time we went away and caused a “cup shock” which I think was Boro in ‘82. Thanks for the WBA & Yeovil reminders anyway. Like you say it’s slim pickings. In fact it’s only just dawned on me the win at Cambridge earlier this season was the first and only time I’ve seen the Rs win away in any cup. And the first one I went to was Roots Hall in ‘75. Here’s hoping for a double this season 🙏🏼
Just gone through the very handy Queens Park Rangers - A Complete Record book from 1993 and as far as I can tell, before that Boro win in 1982, the last time we won away to a team a division above us was:
February 21 1914. Birmingham City 2-1.
We were Southern League Division 1. They were Football League Division 2.

Tranmere in 96. I was at that too. Pissed as a pudding but there in body.
We were there too, and bloody Stockport and bloody Huddersfield and that bastard Milton Keynes game, there were other away cup games that we never missed but I've just woken up from my afternoon nap and I cant remember them.
Oh dear.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

They have won just 3 games out of 20 drawn 5 lost the rest -21 gd…we have a good chance if we go for it…against this is the FA cup 5000 going big turn out which can spell disaster…but this is a Marti team I am going for a 2-1 win to the Rs with Chair getting the winner. COYRs.

The 3 nil at yeovil. Went there for that was that a decent cup year for us ?? Now that brings back a memory. Sloped pitch banister I think. See we can beat the smaller clubs in a cup. Was the arsenal at home in the rain a shock?? So away from home is very few over 4o years ?

A nitpicker replies:
Arguably Division 1 of the Southern League was at least equal in quality to Div 2 of the Football League pre WW1. We finished 9th that year, a point behind West Ham and Brighton. Brum, OTOH, were sandwiched between Grimsby and Huddersfield tied for 14th in the FL's second division.

I approve of your nitpicking Vancouver (soon to be a region of the US?🤔😂).
However, Spurs are reckoned to be the only non league winners of the FA Cup as they were in the Southern League in 1901.
The Southern League was considered non league back then. They (Spurs) then f ucked us up when they applied to join the Football League and got in even though we won the Southern League in 1908.

I've made it rule to never bet on Rangers games (other than Colback getting a card, which over the course of a season of putting £1 on per game means you're pretty much guaranteed to come out on top), but having just read the match thread on Foxestalk, i've lumped on £2 at 4-1 on Rs winning.
its like a free game for us, away to prem club and even if they rest first team usually their squads manage but we have near 4500 going, YES 4500! we can go at em with nothing to lose as EXPECTED to lose. leicester seemed focussed on sodding rugby and their tigers hence game time moved, for RUGBY!!?? ffs

Count ourselves lucky we're not Bournemouth fans traveling to Newcastle for the early kick off
You have to hate the direction football is heading sometimes. These are the coach pick-up times for Bournemouth fans heading to Newcastle, a match selected as an early Saturday kick off by the clever clogs at @tntsports - things like this have become normalised; they shouldnt be. pic.twitter.com/ZPlmNseNFk

I will never forget Villa away in 2008, the night before my 25th birthday. It was the League Cup rather than the FA Cup, but it was a team a division above us at least.
