No we wouldn't, the numbers will have been marked up differently, there's no telling who we could have had.

we would have been allocated a different number to Shrewsbury if we were still in the cup. Like said above we could have drawn anyone.

pretty sure the numbers in the FA cup are depending on the order drawn out in the previous round. So yes we would have been where shrewsbury are now.


but then we would have lost to sheffield wednesday anyway :lol:

For some reason I always thought it was alphabetical. If there were more than the on team of the same letter it'll go to the second letter and so on.

Learn something new I suppose. :thumbright:

Usually down to seeding I believe, Arsenal first then down the top 10. Then think they try and make it alphabetical, I've always wondered. I'll look it up since im on the bloody internet. :laughing6:

Fans have deserted in huge numbers for a variety of reasons. Not sure I could stomach a full house of people watching Man Utd just now.

Loved being at Huddersfield with 300 other idiots though!
