And we have another Fulhamish fact

[Rupert]

Over the years we have set a few of these
1975 the longest run to Wembley of any FA Cup finalist ever, won't be beaten now due to only one replay per round, unless someone makes it from the preliminary qualifying round. I think it took four matches to get past Forest in the third or fourth round.
1946 the only team to win a cup match (not the final) against a team that reached the final. We beat Charlton in the third round. Unfortunately it was over two legs that season, and they beat us in the other leg to go through.
The last team in the top flight to have floodlights installed
The last team in the top flight to have terracing

Now we have the longest ever successful promotion campaign, one year and one day. Watch out for it in future pub quizzes.

Five subs used last night, that must be a first in a Wembley final.

Welcome back Rupert, you along with a lingo, where have you been?

As my tag says, I have been too busy to post, plus didn't feel qualified to comment. I have started a new career, and have not been able to get to the Cottage for a few years.

Just admit it and confess you have been doing a stretch in the Scrubs.

1975: we beat West Ham in the League Cup that year before the FA Cup Final; last year for the Final where all players on both sides came from the British Isles; only FA Cup Final where "Abide with Me" hasn't been played

First team to kick off in a Football League match played on a Sunday.

 Record number of games in a Europa cup run....19 games

[gang]

We were the first game to have a goal decided by goal line technology, 2006/07 but I can't remember if it was for or against us.

And first team to have an electronic scoreboard

Is that the one that required a degree in Digital Analytics to work out the half time scores?  Blue, 1A, check programme, revert to screen, check score, oh Christ, it's changed to orange.

[RaySmith]

First professional women's team?

Fist  football league  team to have their own Rugby League team? Which played at Craven cottage i think.

[Colton F.C.]

What is the furthest distance from the goal has shot scored at Wembley?

[filham]

I think we were first to have a match covered by a lady commentator , that was quite recent but I can't recall the details.

Yup, fun times filling in the prog, though I believe they did repeat themselves for those hard of hearing!
