Questions for Statto:

Has Town ever previously beaten a team from a higher division by a five goal margin in the FA Cup?

When was the last time any club did that?

"No," and "Don't know." Saturday was the club's best win in the competition proper. In 1920 we - as a non-league team - played in the qualifying rounds and beat Dronfield Woodhouse 11-1, but our previous best win in the Cup had been a 5-0 win at Wath Athletic in the 1920s.

Rangers topped it in Scotland by beating a team from a higher division 7-0 but circumstances are a bit different
