      Carlisle's disappointment in the
      League was matched in the FA Cup. Their 1-6 home First Round defeat to
      Cheshire League side Wigan Athletic was the worst home defeat by a League
      side against a non-league club in the competition. That record still
      stands, although the scoreline was matched in the Derby County v Boston
      United tie in 1955/56.
