Easington Colliery reached the first round of the FA Cup in 1955. Played at home (also Welfare Park I think),same crowd as Blackhall, 4500. Lost 2-0 to Tranmere Rovers.
I don't suppose a lot of folk know that either.

Horden got to the 2nd round in 1937, you can see highlights on You tube and or Pathe news, think i have posted it on here before.

This is an excellent resource for this type of thing. Go on the A-Z

1 lucky team gets a bye in today's draw.
Rather get Darlo but that will be like a bye anyway.
UTP.

I seem to recall watching Horden v someone at the Vic in the F.A. cup late 70's early 80's ?, Memory not too good these days.

Yes KPG can confirm it as he went to the game.
Sure Pools where away to Wigan same day.

How about Ryhope Mr Horden? Which other yakker teams has qualified?

Come to think of it, presumably pit teams were not full of shrinking violets. Pitmen basically weightlifted for a living so tended to be strong blokes. I can't imagine they were bullied by league teams even in those days.

just thinking how a present league team would do against them especially if the match officials interpreted the laws of the game 1950,s style. can hear them playing johnny rays record Cry at half time.

Last Wearside League team to play in the FA Cup 1st round. 1967 Ryhope 0 v 3 Workington.

Early 1950s seems to have been the golden period for NE football generally and pit village teams.

true, but if it was my decision it would be game 5 if they are looking for a shock.

Not the other side of the world though Mr Horden, it's only a two hour drive.

horden · **Posted:** Sat Oct 17, 2020 9:21 pm

Yeah, could've been worse, Banbury 4 hour drive. Tempted to go down to Ilkeston, just for the crack, sure once there , I could worm my way in. All these non league clubs getting 400 crowds, I am sure if 410 turned up, they arent turning 100 quid away , if you get my drift

just get your suit and tie on. wear a nwish smart overcoat and follow someone through the players and officials entrance. look confident at all times and you may end up with the big fat cigar brigade. did this at doncasters belle vue years ago by accident and no one battered an eyelid. enjoyed the half time hospitality as well.

The game will be live on BBC Sport at 3:00 pm on 24th.

Yep, reckon it could be done, would feel awkward in a suit and tie though, only for court and funerals :laugh:

so smart casual , slacks and shirt and an overcoat would be my choice of attire , with my 12ft Hartlepool United - Blackhall Branch flag in a carrier bag :laugh:
