FA Cup ties on TV

Would there only be one step between the two sides in that giant killing act.

Two. NPL v Div 4. Chorley finished mid-table but, with much the same squad iirc, won the league the following season.

Two. Chorley were in the Northern Premier and Wolves in the old Division 4 at the time. Chorley didn't get promoted to the Conference until 1988.

Enfield was another giant-killer who the media randomly attached "Town" to, back in the days before the current Enfield Town existed.

Was half-expecting Dion to mention Marine Town yesterday..

I was at Molyneux for the first replay in a crowd of 4,790. Sounds bad but the average league attendance at the place was only 5,754.

Who are this Chorley Town ?

Just really lazy sloppy journalism. It also mentions both previous FA cup matches were draws on their home grounds. Chorley played the first game and second replay at Burnden Park.
