So that means if we lose today it is just £2000
A win means a guarantee of £12500
A Semi-final win gives a further guarantee of £45000
A Final win would mean a total of £80500 more for the club than if we lost today.
So whilst I admit that in the early stages I thought we ought to be concentrating on the league, it has now reached the point where the money is getting serious. So yes I want Notts to win and I will be watching.
I haven't looked at the team yet, not that it matters, but today is the day I fear we go out of a cup competition to the lowest side to knock us out.
0 - 1
I'll go hide behind a settee.
Salford were still in the 7th tier when they knocked us out of the FA Cup under Moniz in 2015, lower than Havant and Waterlooville who were in the 6th tier in 2007 when they beat McP's side.
Going back to the 1950s and 1960s, there wasn't a proper pyramid back then so it's hard to say, but seeing that we were in the 2nd tier when we lost to non-league Rhyl in 1957, I think that has to go down as the worst cup defeat ever in terms of the gap between clubs. The then Manager George Poyser, who'd taken us all the way to the Quarter-finals v York just two years earlier, was sacked a few days later.
