The two clubs have never met in the League Cup but have been involved in FA Cup ties on two separate occasions in recent years, winning in 1988//89 but losing in the 2000/01 season in a penalty shoot out on the night when Stan lost it with the fans and then a steward.
The ground does hold some happy memories of course with the victory there on the last day of the 1999/2000 season that won us promotion although Glen Little, Dean West and Graham Branch are now the only players remaining from the squad that day.
