So Derby in the first round of the FA Cup since 1985 (I think) and are away to either Torquay United/Hampton and Richmond it would be nice to have a decent cup run, with a big draw in the 3rd or 4th round.

A cup run to the 3rd round, cor blimey I can't stand the pace Swale!!
It would be different being someone else's banana skin for a change!
Yay, we will be a giant killer by sneaking past Rotherham 1-0 at home in the 3rd round! Lots to look forward to there........
Not going to win it but a Cup run does bring financial rewards we could use to improve the squad. Considering we are under a strict "business plan" (the Toraidh would call it austerity ;) ) this and next season, building up a decent war chest for the 84/85 season would be excellent.
jeez that is thinking ahead MA: planning spending now for 60 years hence. One hell of a long term business plan

I did type 84/85 for some unknown reason. Meant 24/25. Hey ho...
I think people do care, Swale...it’s just difficult to get excited before the involvement of the ‘big boys’.Quote:

Agree it would be nice to have a decent 3rd/4th round draw in one of the great competitions.
