It's an interesting point. Can a club say no to tv? Our record in front of the cameras is not too great I seem to recall.
No chance of that, I think Chelsea and Man U will be Friday night. If we are Thursday night it could be a poor crowd if televised. We will have to wait and see the TV schedule. We will not be the main draw.

If it’s on telly I actually don’t see them bringing that many
The only reason I wouldn't want a Friday or Monday night is that it will make it more difficult for some to get there including young families with kids and being the family club we are, I'm sure that will be a consideration.I'm sure the club will take everything into account but bearing in mind there was still 2000 seats left over on Saturday, we want to fill them the best way we can. I'm sure the initial allocation for Palace will be limited, then home sales will be monitored for demand.
Did they ever fetch more than a 1000 when we played in the championship? With 3 weeks notice it’s not going to be cheap for them on the train either.
No doubt we will be consulted. But do bear in mind that Palace will also get 45% of the gate receipts. So without TV revenues, and keeping the ticket price as low as possible, means the club will not benefit financially.

i wonder what palace and chelsea charged for their 4th rd games. plenty of empty seats at both grounds and chelsea had the whole top tier of the main stand closed.
I expect them to bring loads of fans.
They once filled the away end.

I'm sure the club will listen to your opinion. Lets not forget the club has extra coffers already from the cup run. There seems to be a confidence that this tie will attract the cameras.
SM, out of curiosity, what do you think the chances are of us giving Palace the absolute bare minimum? ie 2,200 ish, and keeping the rest for ourselves?
