JPT isn't it? Don't know about cup ties but remember a few league games in the late 80's/early 90's. |

I'm guessing Roman probably doesn't do early rounds of the cups away to lower league opposition. But I love the mental picture .... |

It feels like a long, long time since we had a 'super power' at the County Ground for a competitive game. Was it really the Blackburn Rovers tie in '95 when the were reigning Premier League champions? That's all I can think of.
If it's anything like that game then we're in for a(n unexpected) treat.
See what you mean, but I'd never class Blackburn that way - despite their having won the league. I bought 16 tickets for that game (for a group at work)...so demand can hardly have been at fever pitch. Villa last season felt like more of a 'big' game. The last 'superpower' at the County Ground was possibly as far back as the 1993/94 Premiership season? |

From memory the Simod cup was formally the full members cup which was the top 2 divisions equivelent of the LDV (which as we know covers the 2 lower leagues) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Members_Cup |

Yeah no simod equivalent now. I went to that 4-0 game, we mullered them. I can also remember going there in 80 something and we lost 2-1 in a crowd of about 9k of which 1500 were ours.

Was that 4-0 game on TV for some odd reason? I'm sue I have a memory of watching a random game of ours on TV around that period that wasn't a league game.

1.05 mins into that video, its such a pleasure to see those audacious slide tackles from Kammy. That guy was a match winner, a proper legend
