Re: What's the point....

So all the little armchair plastics up and down the country don't get in a fuss when there not on tele.

Because it's the type of tie that epitomises the FA Cup. I can see Crawley getting a replay.

Didn't you know? It's United; we should all be frantically practicing ''self-love'' at the sight of Trafford (or Salford, according to another thread on here!)'s finest treading the hallowed turf at O** T*******.

It will mean more revenue for Crawley with TV money. The good thing about it Crawley get more of the gate receipts as well. Normall it is a 1/3 for each team and a 1/3 for the FA. With Crawley being non league the break down is 50% Crawley, 40% RAGS 10% FA

Re: What's the point....

i always wonder this myself. our game tomorrow is shite for the neutral as well. it's alright putting a lower league team on at home to a big gun, but crawley at old trafford is shite as a spectacle. it's not the actual quality of the game that they're interested in, it's purely the viewing figures.

Re: What's the point....

so that fat fucker from devon who "never misses a game on the telly" can sit in the pub and wank himself stupid over how brilliant they are when they put 3 or 4 goals past a bunch of painters, plumbers and postmen. but taking off my angry head it is good for the crawley lads, something that they will remember for the rest of there lives. i know i'd of loved to of played pro footy and got the chance to play live on the box at our very own maine road or eastlands!

I agree with the first bit of that post, but the second? Come on.

Not a chance Bob.They've already got loads of matches to get through,so a replay is no good to them.It's not like when they played leeds.This match is a dead rubber and just an excuse for a media rag wankfest. I'm just praying that frog-eyed tyldsley isn't the commentator.

How many are Crawley taking to OT.

Officially sold 9k tickets, but reports of 11k in total, not a bad effort!
