Boston away ??.....No thanks Lol.
The last time we went there we were walking round town and heard a chant of " United " " United " coming from a nearby pub......
Soft as a brush we walked in to find it was full of Boston UNITED fans.
Quick drink and out, especially as one or two idiots were wearing knuckle dusters...
If it's got to be away then AFC Fylde and stay in Blackpool for the weekend.
The "magic of the FA Cup" is... how do we usually keep getting the likes of Shrewsbury or Walsall away?... and they are both still in the draw![]()
Was that the 1980 game?
I made the mistake of going on the train. I believe it was a football special (when such things were allowed). Half the lads on the train missed the return journey, preferring to scrap with the locals outside the station.
There were still enough idiots left on the train to keep pulling the communication chord. What a jolly jape that was - delayed our arrival back at Rotherham by an hour or so. What fun!
At one stage of the match our fans were running on the pitch and joining in.
04/11/80 FA Cup Round 1: Boston U. 0 Millers 4
Moore 2, Carr, A.Taylor
We lost 0-1 at home to Barnsley in Round 2

Yes i remember that Wrinks. I seem to recall most of the Boston lot were actually Manu fans who decided to turn up for a ruck with their home town team.
The train got bricked with lots of windows put through .
Also RUFC climbing their flagpoles inside the ground and inserting red and white colours.
Complete carnage that day
I know that they have airbrushed it from their history, but in the late 1970s/early 80s just about every town /city had a contingent of Man U. glory-hunter thugs... including Rotherham, and even Leeds ! Could often be a pain in the neck at motorway service stations when we were heading to Millers away games

Notts County would do for me, home OR away.
But I've got a feeling it could be Maidstone United
Or what about Maldon & Tiptree? (Es***)

Till mike put the date and score up I couldn't honestly remember.
Perhaps too traumatized with what was going off.
Three of us including my bro-in-law went down in the car, all I can remember is news about the Yorkshire Ripper on the car radio and a woman coming into the pub, grabbed a bloke by his testicles and said " now then bonky dollacks are we doing business "
Hoping for any non league team in the draw, at home even though we won't be gaurenteed to win
