Tottenham away 1980. My first away game in the Cup. 50,000 crammed in, about 10,000 Blues and thousands locked out. They had Hoddle, Ardiles etc and we lost 3-1 but what an exciting occasion.

My first away game without my old man taking me
Memories of the shelf and loads of bother outside.
Herefordshire Cider BoozerWhich are your most memorable games in the cup? West Ham 1984 is up there. What a lively day that was.
1968 was a great cup run... and a fabulous experience for this young schoolboy!...🙂
Culminating in:
Arsenal H W 2–1 Bridges 2 51,586
Chelsea H W 1–0 Pickering 51,576
West Bromwich Albion Villa Park, L 0–2
Sums us up in my lifetime when we talk about the 5th round as a cup run.
My earliest Blues FA Cup memory is going to that Forest game. I do remember watching the 87 final on tv vaguely for general memories..
I remember the Wimbledon game next year pretty well. Both that and Forest seemed like big deals at the time from what everyone was saying in the house at the time and then with Wimbledon being champions.

Was a great cup run that season.
Losing to West Brom at villa park. Yeah. The best of times.

The question was which are your most memorable games in the fa cup...
That 1967-8 run is always the first that comes to mind for me...
followed by the semi final run of 1972...
Chelsea away 75 - won 1-0 Kenny Burns.
What a fun day out that was !
Really enjoyed watching this, thanks. I was there, but travelled direct from Charing Cross.
Think I’ve posted before - having not long relocated in London, I’d thought all Southern clubs were soft, until this game. Rough old port town and there was proper needle (not least that sewing at start of the clip 😂)
All hail Roger Hansbury, eh!
Did I see Roger Hansbury making a couple of decent saves there????

Last saw him running the paper shop at the Yew Tree about 15 yrs ago….he dropped my snickers….no he didn’t..,he was a nice bloke
My favourite memory is probably beating Southampton 2-1 at Stans in the 3rd Round 1980. They were a top 1st Division team, we were battling to get promoted back under Jim Smith.
First game I ever went to with just my mates, Keith Bertschin and Joe Gallagher won it for us. If the draw had been kinder we might have made it to Wembley that year. West Ham (who finished below us) did and won the bloody thing. Last time any team outside the top flight did.
I love the FA CUP and the draw for the 3rd round is still something I still get way to excited about but cant actually think of many especially fond Blues cup memories
would probably have to be the Liverpool 0-0 at home in 1994? was only a kid and build up and excitement for the game and the match itself was special
maybe more recently Blyth Spartan's away...proper cup tie at a ground with real Non League pedigree...going out only to turn it around in the 2nd half
there's not much I look back on with especially happy memories tbh
I've seen us lose 4 FA cup quarter finals.
Watford, Liverpool, Portsmouth and Bolton.
I was going to the FA cup semi-finals and final in 1984. Then I wasn't.
I've never been. I am still upset about this.
Liverpool, just a nightmare. We were embarrassingly bad. Horrific.
I wanted Bruce to go after that and did not regain faith in him.
Portsmouth was disappointing. We weren't great and I have no idea why McLeish didn't go for it. There was brief hope when Ridgewell scored. Then the ref played on. Gutting. We were at the side it went in and we could see it had gone well over the line.
It did not help that I went back to Fratton on the Tuesday and we beat them easily.
Bolton. I'm ok about this one. We'd already won at Wembley. KP scored a great goal for us. Bolton played well though and probably deserved it.
ThongsSpike with his foil FA cup at Sutton Utd.
close it was slammer with his belper town tin foil fa cup cut out at derby in 2010
