FA Cup Weird Fact on 21:23 - Feb 6 with 1126 views | ElijahK | Well the path to the final certainly does look a lot harder this season! I mean there’s only 6 teams left that made it this far last season left in the cup now, still I’d of thought that at least one of the “top 6” would have a slip up next round | |

FA Cup Weird Fact on 21:28 - Feb 6 with 1103 views | A1079 | I was wondering Nick, when was the last time we faced a non-league team in the FA Cup home or away? despite my 40 plus years of watching Saints I honestly can't remember one, but it must have happened. I have seen us play lower league sides obviously but I can't think of a non-league draw and game for us. | | | |

Luton a few years ago were actually in the conference when we played them in the cup, before that it was back in the 1950's i think | |

The last time we didn't make the 3rd round was 1961/62 when we lost to Rochdale in the firs tround after a replay , 0-0 at the Dell and then lost 2-1 away. Our last game against a non league side aside from Luton was in 1958/59 when we beat Woking at home 4-1 | |

Wrong. We played Sunderland in the 3rd round in 1961/62 and the following season we reached the semi-final. The last time we failed to make the 3rd round was 1957/58, when we lost 1-0 away to Crystal Palace in the 2nd round. [Post edited 7 Feb 2022 15:15]

We would have been in the third round automatically in 61-62 by dint of being in the second division surely? Are you not getting mixed up with the league cup, because I'm sure Rochdale got to the final that year | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Yep, and we beat Walton & Hersham in the first round that year which, I believe, was the last time we played a non-league team until we were drawn against Luton in 2010. Delving a bit deeper, it seems that we've only failed to make the third round five times since the start of the First World War. As a comparision, our nearest and dearest have failed to make the third round five times in the last nine years. | | | |

And Rochdale reached the League Cup Final that year. We got drawn against them again in 1965 and beat them. | |
