After Saturday’s draw at Gainsborough Trinity it occurred to me that on the last three occasions that Chester have drawn an away FA Cup game they have then proceeded to lose the home replay. Here’s hoping for a change in fortune on Wednesday.
For the record:
2009/10
Barrow (a) 1-1
Barrow (h) 0-4
2006/07
Bury (a) 2-2
Bury (h) 1-3
2005/06
Cheltenham Town (a) 2-2
Cheltenham Town (h) 0-1
In 2006 Chester did go through to the next round after Bury were thrown out of the cup for playing an ineligible player.
The last time Chester won a home FA Cup replay was in 1999/2000 when they beat Whyteleafe 3-1 after one of their worst ever cup performances down in Surrey when they drew 0-0.
