I expect to lose for all sorts of reasons but it would be amazing if we win.
FA Cup Started 1872,the League in 1888.
for 50+ years we were in the top division.
1914-1918 & 1940-1945 there was no FA Cup (not counting the War Cup).
that leaves 50 something years where we will have had an FA Cup tie & we wernt in the top flight (so therefore could have played a side from a higher division).
I dont know how many times we have actually had a tie against a team from a higher division but as far as I can tell we have NEVER beaten one.
So Fuller in the side & new signings or not the omens arnt good.

Stat hat on...
Division 2 Stoke beat Division 1 Aston Villa 2-0 in a 3rd round replay in 1958
So yes, they have beaten a team from a higher division!!

Hopefully we can change the stats on Sunday
Fuller could well be the key like Rob says

If he does play he should be very motivated.Hopefully that will be translated into a goal or two rather than a punch thrown or two.
well done Knowles by the way.
