Its going to be amazing on saturday.I really think we have a fantastic chance of progressing, we have a cracking squad, brilliant manager, and like everyone knows anything is possible in the FA Cup, just think back to 1999 when chesterfield were so close to reaching the final, i cant wait.

According to 'Accrington Stanley - A Complete Record1894-1962) We drew with Portsmouth 0-0 at Peel Park on 24-01-1959 and were beaten at their place 4-1 on the 28-01-59

Looks like I was slow in getting my response to Cashy's question :-) I went off to dig the book out.

I was there in the 58-59 season against Portsmouth, fourth round 0-0 tie, also the 57-58 season against Bristol City when Stanley lost in a 3rd round replay, also the 59-60 against P.N.E. both games, again Stanley lost in the 3rd round replay. Some great days but today was just as great, just sorry I can,t be there against Fulham.

I was also at Anfield in the 55-56 for our 2-0 loss but we deserved a lot better. I have a funny story about that one but I,ll save it for later.

I was at the game against Portsmouth in 1959. The pitch was covered with snow and we played with an orange ball, 0-0 against a then First Division team. As far as I know Stanley have only reached the fourth round three times - in 1927 when they lost 7-2 away at Chelsea, in 1937 when they lost 2-0 away at Man City and in 1959 against Portsmouth. Stanley have never reached the fifth round.

records are here:

Football Club History Database - Accrington
Football Club History Database - Accrington Stanley{1**
Football Club History Database - Accrington Stanley

game declared void against WBA and a replay ordered against Sunderland in the 1890s

neutral ground second replay against Lancaster at Deepdale in the 1930s - anybody go to that?

certainly been interesting following our club through the ages

Re: Anyone know someone who attended the 1958 game
 
Jan '59 I'd just turned 15 and was living down south, having been exiled from my Accy birthplace after the 0 - 0 thriller against Southport at Peel Park in Dec '51. I re-call newspaper reports saying Portsmouth were lucky to escape a snowy Peel Park with a 0 - 0. Not having seen my beloved Stanley since '51, I confess that I was a bad lad that day and bunked off school at lunchtime for the train to Portsmouth for the afternoon replay. Train was delayed by signalling problems and it was 3.20ish when I got into the ground. Back then there was no such thing as subs and I found only 9 fit Stanleymen + goalkeeper (McInnes ?) hobbling badly on the right wing. Can't remember who had already been carried off but feel sure we were at least 3 if not 4 goals down. Nevertheless a gutsy display saw us stem the tide and even pull a goal back. Took my punishment for going awol with tremendous pride despite our cup exit.
