They reached their fifth and so far last FA Cup Final. After a win over Hull City in Round 3, they scraped past Notts County and Liverpool, they beat York City in the quarter-final in a replay, before beating the favourites Sunderland at Ewood Park in the semi-final, meaning they would play Preston North End in the final, a repeat of the 1922 FA Cup Final, the only one of Town's previous final appearances that they won. The final at Wembley was the first since moving to the London stadium to go into extra time. The result would be the opposite to the 1922 final, with Town conceding a penalty to lose the match 1–0.Britain in 1938 - ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/327318989 5 November 2024 The Scotsman 3 July 2009 327318989 limited Their league form was pretty shaky during the season and they only guaranteed their safety with 2 games to go.
