LINEAR LEAGUE POSITION - FA CUP
This is how Forest fared in the FA Cup with respect to how many positions in the league we were above or below the opposition!
The current record for the biggest distance above an FA Cup opponent was when we played
Halifax Town in the 3rd round of the FA Cup in the 1987-88 season. We were 2nd in the top flight (The First Division at the time) and Halifax were in 16th place in the old Fourth Division, meaning there were 82 places between us.
