jamiescfc2009 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi guys having watching the F.A Cup and City winning it (even though they bought the F.A Cup IMO ). Has anyone have got the semi final or even the final and lose out to the favorites. I must stress they have to be NOT a premiership team so like Championship to BSP.

Tracer Bullet Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Once won it with Reading a couple of years back (the year they got promoted I'm sure). An extra-time goal from Kevin Doyle saw off Chelsea even after I'd been reduced to 10 men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawee Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I once took Basingstoke Town (starts off in Blue Square,) by then a League 1 side, to FA Cup glory. We had some lucky draws admittedly, playing EPL sides just twice, but my God, was it satisfying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Guy! Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I made it to the quarter final with my non-league Burton side a few years back, the 5th round with my non-league Ilkeston and the final with my Championship Derby side. Ipswich have won the FA cup though whilst in the Championship on one of my previous games though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob21 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Won it in the Championship and reached the semi in League 2 and the final in league 1 Dartford in FM11 and Chelmsford in FM10 and Gateshead in FM09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_numbers Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I don't even care that this won't be the best achievement, but it's amazing how much more exciting it is to get to the fourth round with a league 2 side knowing there'll be a big cash windfall at the end of it. Away to Premier league Pompey? Magic - That'll be half a million in the bank which means that for the first time ever, I have a transfer budget. Didn't even care when I got slaughtered 5-1. I was pleased we'd scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
askep Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Won it a couple of times from the Championship. Always coincided with me getting promoted from there though, so I've always had a decent team to do it. Just gotta luck out a bit with the draws and get some results!

isignedupfornorealreason Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I got to the League Cup Final once with Swansea in League 2... We got thumped by Manchester United though, so there went the Europe slot back in the old days. Never really bothered to go for any cup runs in the newer versions, they usually get in the way of promotion or I get drawn so many division above me that play their first team it seems kind of pointless.

crouchaldinho Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I've been to the 3rd round with a Non-League side quite a few times. I've always thought that was a massive achievement! Third round with BSS side St. Albans City on FM09. Had to play Everton at Goodison Park in the third round. Then another third round tie whilst in the BSS with St. Albans City on FM10. This time we played Bolton Wanderers at Clarence Park. Finally, when in the BSP, again with St. Albans City on FM10, we got through to the 3rd round to play Stoke City at CP. Always lose in the third round though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

0gris Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Fifth round with Chester when we were still in BSP(admittedly, with a league 1 quality side as it's way too easy to sign good players cheap).

mike82 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 So am I right to be happy as I sit here about to lead my League 2 leading Rotherham side out in the 4th round against League 1 Colchester? I beat Swansea (Championship) in the 3rd round! Is it the 5th round where the big money comes in? I am surprisingly nervous and am even keen on telling my players to sod the league and go all out for cup glory! How do I go about booking an open top bus?...

Le Tissier's Nose Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Always lose in the third round though. This! Got Banbury United (BSN at the time) to the 3rd round - we lost away to Derby 3-1, but we got around £200k which was AMAZING for us... we had virtually nothing before that. So lower league Cup runs are pretty good for that at least... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lower league Cup runs are pretty good for that at least... Yeah, lower league cup runs are great for the money. I remember, on FM09, our game away at Goodison Park cleared a massive amount of debt (for a Non-League club, anyway) and set us up financially for promotion to the BSP and then the Football League, more or less, such were the financial rewards from the game. Unfortunately, my two FA Cup Third round ties against Bolton and Stoke on FM10 were both home games, so I didn't make as much money, but no doubt it still helped out as I built the club up to move on to the FL.
