There was a Lincolnshire team in the first FA Cup: Donington School, but they could not afford the journey to play Queen’s Park of Glasgow and so did not play.
And they never entered the competition again! They were drawn against Queen’s Park in the first round but neither team could agree a date so they were both given a bye! Imagine Donington’s dismay when they were drawn against them again!! So the FA Cup record for Donington School is: Two ties, Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 0…
I’m off now to work out how many Lincolnshire teams have entered the competition! Thanks Greylag…
