Can anyone tell me the point where the League clubs entered the Cup down the years.
Sean Ryan's book only starts at First Round 'proper', even though it may have been the 4th actual round.
rsssf.com has some seasons from the start, but as above it also starts at First Round proper too for others.
Only looking at '69/70 onwards.
Here's what I have from various sources. I hope someone can say definitely as I suspect some here are wrong (these are the rounds Pats entered...)
69/70 - 72/73 - 1st round
73/74 - 2nd Round
74/75 - 75/76 - 1st round
76/77 - 2nd round
77/78 - 1st round
79/80 - 4th round
80/81 - 1st round
81/82 - 4th round
82/83 - 1/8th final
83/84 - 84/85- 1st round
85/86 - 87/88 - 4th round
88/89 - 98/99 - 1st round
99/00 - 00/01 - 2nd round
01/02 - 1st round
2002 - 2007 - 2nd round
2008 - 2011 - 3rd round
2012 - 2013 - 2nd round
01/02 should be 2nd Round I think, it's what I have myself.

Apart from total blanks, the other differences I have are below, but none of them are definites.
75/76 - 2nd
77/78 - 2nd
80/81 - 2nd
82/83 - 2nd
84/85 - 5th, more than likely 4th
Went to the library today to just check this and came up with the following.

74/75: Doesn't specify
75/76: 2nd

77/78: 2nd
78/79 - 79/80: 4th
80/81: 1st
81/82: 4th
82/83: Doesn't specify but winning puts us straight into 1/4 finals
83/84 - 84/85: 5th
85/86 - 87/88: 4th
88/89 - 98/99: 1st
99/00 - 00/01: 2nd
Checked out my missing years with some national papers and got the following:
