FA Cup 2nd Qualifying

Droylsden v Lancaster City to be played on Saturday 26th September

By my calculations that's 9 consecutive away rounds in the FA Cup, I wonder what the odds are on that occurring?

................ 26th September - excitement getting to you there:-) (needs changing on website too).

I think it's actually ten:-
2015-6
Marske**
Padiham
Droylsden

2014-5
Washington
West Allotment
FCUM
King's Lynn

2013-4
Farsley
Spennymoor
Curzon Ashton**

** home replay involved

2012-3
Ashton Athletic
SALFORD CITY - last actual home draw Mind you, we cocked it up losing 0-4

I suppose at least we know about Droylsden and it isn't too far way, unlike 200+ miles to King's Lynn, not sure how they managed to end up in the "northern" draw!

Frustrating as it seems, the tie is certainly winnable, even if we have get them back here. The odds on us getting drawn away all those games must be massive. I wanted Kendal home or away....for obvious reasons. We seem to play better away in the FA Cup anyway. The defence seems to have sorted itself at least.

I stand corrected, it is 10 but the question still remains what are the odds on that? I don't know if it's a club record, and before some wag says I should because I'm the Club historian I simply don't have a complete record of the club's fixtures since 1911 although I am slowly getting there.

Are you working from memory, Dave?

The odds work out at about 642/1 not very high for 10 away games and the odds for being drawn away for a 11th time would be 10/11. When you see the teams that entered the draw in this round we have come out with a winnable game.a few league games first so hopefully we will be going into the cup game on a good run of form

If I was working from memory Anthony I'd probably rarely have the answer to anything these days.
