I know number 11. Anfield, Old Trafford, Meadow Lane, Molineux and Wembley......one of those quiz questions that stick in the mind.
Yep. Fancy Meadow Lane being used, though it was in 1925!
10. Eddie May 1991/92
Will have a guess at
1. Reading (for one of them)
8. None
Yes.
Not Reading.
8 - yes. Ironically we've lost two, both times to Reading.
3 Leeds?
Yes
A few guesses.
5. I thought lost in both cases, but I don’t think you’d have asked the question if it was, so I’ll say we’ve won more replays than we’ve lost.
6. I can recall three in my time supporting the club, so I’ll say six - don’t think we’ve ever played a third replay have we?
12. We’ve played at Highbury a lot.
13. Rotherham, Bournemouth, West Ham, Forest and Burnley.(forgot we played Forest recently didn’t we = not sure we’ve ever played Man United).
14. Arsenal and Ipswich.
15. Fred Stewart, Cyril Spiers, Bill Jones, Jimmy Scoular and Dave Jones.
17. How many FA Cup semi finals have we lost?
5. Wrong way round. We've won a total ot 109 cup ties, lost 103. We've won 28 replays and lost 31.
6. Close. 1 out, it's 7. I expect you've seen 4 second replays - York in 1970, Sunderland in 1972, Bolton in 1973 and Millwall in 1987. There was also Man City in 1961, Darlington in 1925 and Watford in 1923. I wasn't born until 1978 and I was surprised to see that second replays used to take place at neutral venues.
12. Not Highbury.
13. Yes to Rotherham and Bournemouth.
14. Wrong on both counts. Remember 1927?
15. Yes to all.
I forgot the Bolton one - it's funny we lost the two against teams lower in the league than us and won the two who were above us at the time.
I'll try Palace as a team we've not played in the FA Cup - plus Huddersfield and Blackpool.
Yes, we've lost to Reading three times that t can remember.
9 Blackpool, Crystal Palace,Huddersfield, Preston, Rotherham
2 Bath City
12 Maine Road.
1 Manchester City, Leeds
13 Oldham
14 Stoke,
1. Man City yes, Leeds will become the third side we've faced 10 times in the replay, but there is one other that we haven't beaten in the cup since the 1920s.
2. Interesting guess. No, but as a clue, it was in a qualifying round.
9. All right apart from Preston. Bournemouth is the other side, already mentioned.
12. Correct. 5 times against Man City and once in a second replay against Sunderland. 6 times in total.
13. Oldham is one of them. Two to go.
14. Yes, we've played Stoke 4 times in the cup without success.
A recap:
1. Which two sides have we played in the FA Cup most often (10 times each)? Man City, Leeds will add their name to this list in the replay but there's one other.

2. Can't find any records of qualifying results for that far back so I'm intrigued 🤔
To be honest, I don't think I'll get any more replies.
Our first FA Cup tie was on 1st Oct 1910 at home to Merthyr in the 1st qualifying round. We lost 1-0. Before we joined the football league our record was as following:
1/10/1910 - Merthyr (h) - L 0-1 (1st qual)
16/9/1911 - Cardiff Corinthians (h) - W 3-0 (prelim)
30/9/1911 - Mardy (h) W 2-0 (1st qual)
14/10/1911 - Merthyr (a) D 1-1 (2nd qual)
18/10/1911 - Merthyr (h) L 1-2 (replay)
12/10/1912 - Merthyr (a) W 5-1 (1st qual)
2/11/1912 - Pontypridd (h) W 2-1 (2nd)
16/11/1912 - Llanelly (a) W 4-1 (3rd)
30/11/1912 - Exeter City (h) W 5-1 (4th)
14/12/1912 - Southend Utd (h) L 0-3 (5th)
29/11/1913 - Swansea Town (a) L 0-2 (4th qual)
9/1/1915 - Bristol City (a) L 0-2 (1st round proper, Cardiff were one of 16 non-league teams given a bye to the first round)
10/1/1920 - Oldham Ath (h) W 2-0 (1st round proper)
31/1/1920 - Wolves (a) W 2-1 (2nd round)
21/2/1920 - Bristol City (a) L 1-2 (3rd round)
George Beare scored the last FA cup goal for City as a non-league side and the first for City as a league side the following season at Sunderland.
