This epic match gained the club three massive milestones. These were:
- 1. The first time that Eastbourne Borough had played a fully-professional league-side.
- 2. The first time that Eastbourne Borough were given national television coverage (highlights of the match at the Priory Lane ground were shown on BBC's Match Of The Day)
- 3. For the first time ever the home and away supporters had to be segregated due to the huge attendance of 3,770.
The East-Sussex side failed to win the replay at Oxford's Kassam Stadium on a cold mid-week November night. The Kassam Stadium is the home of Oxford United Football Club, and is named after the ground's owner and former chairman of the club Firoz Kassam. Despite losing 3-0, the Borough squad put up a very good fight and were extremely unlucky not to score. Ex-Yeovil Town striker Yemi Odubade played particularly well and caused many problems for the Oxford defence, so much so that Oxford manager Brian Talbot admitted he was very interested in having the talented youngster play for his side and asked the Eastbourne Borough committee if he could take Yemi Odubade on a trial at Oxford United. Yemi Odubade (born July 4 1984, Nigeria) is a footballer, currently playing for Oxford United.
