Can anyone point me in the right direction on the ticket site so I can purchase my seat please, can’t find it anywhere
-
Neither can i sadly

Hover over DRFC then you should see 'reserved tickets', tick your name then proceed.

Nothing in my reserved tickets

Nothing for me

Its not easy to navigate at all, tickets been on sale since 9am but can’t find them
-
The tickets have been taken off sale.
Seems like they must have another problem identified once they went on sale at 9

If so a bit of communication would be nice, instead of wasting our time

Yes exactly, we are sat here constantly refreshing the ticket site.
One for the owners meeting tonight, because there have been problems at every special game.
-
Back on sale.

Back on sale.
Well almost, I have an error icon that means I can’t complete the transaction

We have just purchased our two tickets ok
-
Have you purchased your season ticket seats Ian, I’m trying to purchase mine but as Filo says unable to do it.?
-
We have just purchased our two tickets ok
Are you 60+
I’m getting an error saying the 60+ price is not set and I have to change it, but I can’t find where to change it

And now they are not in my reserved list again

Frustrating, sort it out rovers.

Just bought 5 in the ticket office the telephone/computer system seemed to be struggling PS 5 season ticket holders

Frustrating, sort it out rovers.
Like I said earlier, a bit of communication would be nice, if they are having problems, just say they are having problems
-
I can't find a 'reservations' option on my account so I'm struggling at the moment
-
I eventually found the 'reserved tickets' option - contrary to the instructions it is under the 'DRFC' tab, not under my name.
The Palace ticket was there but when I've tried to purchase it I got an error message and now the ticket has disappeared!
I'll go and do something else with my day as I've wasted half an hour on this.
-
I refreshed and they my ticket was there, purchased and all good now but for the first 45 mins it wasnt there.

Basic IT incompetence if you ask me
-
I’ve got mine. The way I did it was go on the tickets part of the website. Click on the little person icon in the top right corner. Then click on where it says personal details. It had an alert that said we have reserved tickets for you or something along those lines. That brought up the ones I could buy. Tick the little box to the left of the reserved ticket then press proceed . That put them in my basket and then I went to proceed to checkout.

Lovely thanks, it just happens to be a day off for me, so much easier to do it now, and discuss the issue with other fans having the same issue, not that it’s your business anyway

Thanks for posting this - it worked
-
The glitch has obviously been sorted now so I've been able to buy mine online.

Got my ticket the ‘old fashioned way’ by ringing the ticket office. Was number six in line, but was less than 5 minutes before I spoke to one of the girls.
It’s good to talk.
-
The selling process seems a bit OTT with the points system. If you've not been to many games this season, you can't buy tickets until the 3rd Feb? Most people will have forgot about it by then, thus reducing the gate even further. This is already a worry with the Monday night grave yard slot.
I'm guess when demand dries out they will go on general sale earlier than the above?
-
Well if you're forgetting about it with only a week to go then you're not that bothered anyway, eh?
-
What would you suggest Donnyjim
-
What would you suggest Donnyjim
As, I said these dates are probably subject to change based on demand. General sale will be sooner than 3rd Feb, you would think?
I still can't help thinking that we've been massively shafted by the schedulers with this one. A 12.5k gate will probably be a 10.5k gate.

Just been on and south stand is nearly sold out! How is that possible?

ST holders seats which are reserved?
-
I'm a ST holder and it didn't come up as though it was because of that. Handful of seats showing to select in the south west corner
-
I’m and ST holder and it came up as exactly that, the nominal seat that my ST is assigned to is held reserved for me
-
Just been on and south stand is nearly sold out! How is that possible?
Maybe they are keeping seats back to see if season ticket holders in the South Stand take up their seat, and then make those seats available for general sale if the ticket holders can’t get to the game.
It’s also unreserved ticketing in the south stand.

Judging by what's been said at MTO, the club are less than happy with the scheduling either.

I got the impression both clubs have the hump about it. Totally down to TV the clubs had no input at all Tbh it shows the contempt TV really has for lower ranked clubs 125k for shown on "proper" TV. 40k fto clubs being shown on iplayer
Judging by what's been said at MTO, the club are less than happy with the scheduling either.
-
What do we think the gate will be? 12k-13k? Assume Palace will sell out?
-

Didn't work for me , but I fluked it in another part of the "Site"
-
Had a quick look on the Palace fans' forum.
The only posts following the switch to Monday night are from Palace fans who were planning to attend but now won't be coming.
Disappointing but hardly surprising.
-
A chance for us to open up part of the month stand again
-
My gut feeling is similar to what others have said, originally I think the attendance would have been 12k plus but now having been switched, somewhere between 10 & 11k. I've not seen what allocation we've given to Palace, but there maybe no need to open the North for home fans. Hope I'm wrong of course.
Yes, the TV money for the Iplayer appearance will make up for the shortfall but not to the extent other clubs will benefit from the other selected TV slots which I think is wrong..
No regard for the travelling fans whatsoever when the TV companies divied up the slots.
I think we understood we accepted the compromises to mitigate the replays but I don't think anyone realised the ties would be spread over 5 days with less than ideal kick off times.
It's good to hear clubs and fans alike are equally unhappy about all this.
-
From a selfish point of view I’ll be laid up in hospital so am thrilled I can watch on IPlayer
-
What do we think the gate will be? 12k-13k? Assume Palace will sell out?
Depends on the availability of transport back from Doncaster to South London!

I think that's the biggest factor Alan that will put Palace fans off. Can't see many school age kids making the trip for starters.

The TV companies and the FA have decided when games are played. There are two premier league clubs not on main stream TV that 5 days hence we lose out by £85,000 TV money. Even the game on Tuesday night Exeter v Nots Forest is on TV.
Man Utd are charging between £51/ £61 for away Leicester fans and are on TV Friday night.
The only other game that’s on I player is Blackburn Wolves.
What do they say the glory of the cup yes it might be up to the third round.
Disgrace really by the TV companies and it makes you wonder if it’s worth getting this far we could been playing a league 2 game and trying to improve our position in the league.
-
Hope we don’t draw Man U away in the next round at those prices
-
Be nice at home though £20 for us and £80 for them when asked why just say we are not watching them we see them on telly too much our lads however will be new to them.

For the monday of the tie.
You can get a train from doncaster to kings cross at 22:48.
£18.20 single. Arrives at kings cross at 01:11.
Where you can go from there is anyones guess. Depends on what part of london ppl go to.
Long day/night if you go for that

I hear you but any extra time and you're in right trouble. Pens - no chance.
That's the last train I think too.
I have never been brave enough to gamble on a normal evening match never mind a cup match.
I'll be driving.

You would think if it went to extra time or pens and they can gauge how many palace fans are on te train they would delay it in doncaster just like the did with ours after the play off final defeat in the play offs at Charlton although we were then sponsered by LNER

London Undergroud runs night trains but this shows how inconsiderate the timing of this match is to everyone but renders attendance by away fans a nightmare and very expensive .
-
It will certainly spoil the stadium atmosphere by reducing the number of Palace fans at the game.
From memory, whenever we have entertained them at the KM (as it was then) the Palace fans have been really loud and turned up in big numbers.
The FA don’t seem to have an understanding that making us play on a Monday night is a shocking decision.
-
In the good old days Wolf there would have been a Supporters' club special train ...and knowing DRFC I bet they will be helping Palace sort one .
-
Palace have laid on five free coaches for their fans

They won't fetch more than 1000 to this. Some of their prem crowds have been abysmal. Sold only half their allocation v Aston villa
-
We could absolutely sell north stand tickets if the club generate more ticket news excitement.
-
Win the next few games and the buzz and hype will create itself no one will want to miss it.
Not sure what I want palace to do, a few wins and they start knocking on on the door for Europe downside is winning puts them on a high, on the other hand if they start losing they start slipping towards relegation so want to start concentrating on the league and morale is low and we can take advantage in a nothing to lose game
-
Bit shit that I can't buy my ticket today even though the website says they are on sale today for 30+ priority points.
Well technically I can but for east and west stand but I can't buy for south stand because they are still reserved for season ticket holders.
Surely they've had long enough to buy theirs, plus there's no mention of south stand being held for season ticket holders.
I had this problem with crewe away tickets at season so realistically I don't get any priority with my points or multi pass.

You’ve found a flaw in the system there for sure.
-
Can you buy extra tickets for others in the South Stand?
Maybe that is why some are holding back.
There is plenty of space in the east and west stands for people to be able to buy consecutive tickets to sit with friends and relatives who don’t have season tickets. I wonder just how many are biding their time?
-
The website says STH are held until 28th, however tomorrow 27th is when members are allowed to buy. Logically how is that going to work. Members who log on tomorrow will see hardly any seats and then on 28th there will be more when all the STH unused go on
-
7 days is far too long for STH to think about getting a ticket.
I am actually considering buying a season ticket next season even though I can't make every game.

You can inform the ticket office more than 24 hours before kick off that you won’t be attending. I think that you are allowed to do this up to 5 times per season. The amount of credit then comes of the following season’s ticket if you renew it. This might be a clincher for some supporters.

I got an extra for the south stand which seems unfair if STH can’t get one

We kinda messed up as our kids season tickets are in the middle of 2 adults. Kids can't attend on a school night so we've weirdly had to buy with the two in the middle left free. Hopefully the people who buy them will move down one and be understanding (probably not knowing my luck).
A little frustrating they couldn't do anything in the system to get round it. Hopefully they'll let us rearrange at the end of the season.
-
Just out of interest, how many (as a proportion) fans go to away games on the train? Supporters club coaches will always be popular and I for one always would drive. Our train network isn’t up to it really.
-
Just as I thought. Indeed I have just logged in and not one South Stand ticket available on the day they go on sale to members.
Phoned the ticket line on the queue for 30 mins to be told yes call back tomorrow because that's when South Stand STHs get released. I tried to explain that they are going to get loads of calls like this today when they should have let members go on sale AFTER they released STH not BEFORE.

3800 tickets remaining.
-
Just FYI. We seem to have been given about half the North Stand and have so far sold about 1000, but we are selling in phases based on loyalty points and there is still one more phase to be opened up. Maybe sell another 200.
Such a shame as came up last time and had a great day out but that journey on a Monday night when it’s on telly is for the very dedicated.

It’s increasingly looking like a half full away end (going on Palace Fan’s comments) and less than full home end. Still, another week yet!

Not even on general sale to either yet are they. Plenty of Palace fans based in the north that will likely want to buy tickets.

Welcome back to the forum.

If London based fans get to this match at such an inconsiderate day and time then they deserve medals .The BBC and and FA show no consideration for real fans .

Same here, it saves a lot of hassle for times like this, also the best thing to get is Cup Direct, you pay £10 as like a booking fee and they send you the ticket for every home cup match. Yes the price of the ticket is taken from your bank account, and another yes it does cover ALL the cup games including against Premiership U21 teams. On the plus side you don’t have get to the ground to queue up, just wait for the postman to arrive

Palace just beat Manure 0-2 and sit very comfortably in mid table.
I wonder with relative safety in the league they fancy a proper go at the FA Cup and field a strong team against us?
I was hoping they'd be either nearer the European slots or fighting relegation.
-
Glasner has played his strongest team in every Cup game this season, irrespective of the opposition or when the next game is scheduled. He will 100% put out his strongest available team.

Bugger!

Tbf it was only Man U lol
-
Watched it on Optus Sports, they didn’t press, let United have the ball, but they have pace all over the pitch

Martinez diagonal ball to Amad today where he should have gone through and scored but Guehi got there first. Rovers do that Monday McGrath to Molyneux. We score

General sale tomorrow. Probably be sold out by Wednesday I think.

Going quite fast, about 2,400 left.
-
Less than 100 left in the South stand.

I have a feeling Monday night will end up being one of those unforgettable nights of cup drama - aka Man City / Villa and Arsenal games. There's a lot of fired up young lads gonna be out there putting themselves in the shop window for us.

Currently 2368 home tickets left.
Well over 1300 of those are in the five East and West stand blocks closest to Away End, which I think have only recently been released (E1-3, W30-31)

Another 390 Family section tickets left. 46 in the entire South Stand. Should be a near home sellout.

We have been given the full North Stand but have only taken up the option of blocks 39-44. There appear to be 3 blocks 36-38 which haven’t been and won’t be opened up to us. From the map I would say the 3 unsold blocks hold about 1300 and we have taken up blocks holding about 1900 with about 1600 sold in those.

Interesting. W31 has come up as unavailable when I've looked since last night.
Looks to be an issue with the website, if you click on w31 on the diagram then you can buy for that section that way.

Have the seats been repaired in the N/W corner?
The simple answer to that is......NO
Nobody can be bothered to put an order in for the extra seat backs. The club could even ask the supporters club to help fund it if need be. There are funds available for it.

Tbf it's needed for 1 or 2 games a season. Hardly a major concern.

Yes and maybe not even that. Other priorities as we know.

About 200 sold today so far.

We could have further potential sell outs as the season goes on. Bradford at home. A playoff match .
I'd consider ticket revenue to be a high priority. If you don't thats fair enough.
What would you consider to be other priorities?

No game will be an absolute sell out due to segregation. Those seats will have virtually no effect on revenue over a season. I'm sure they'll be attended to in due course but in the meantime I'm sure we can think of many other things that the Club, Supporters Board Inc the Fan Experience group are prioritising.

The stadium needs money spending on it, pure and simple.
All those things you've listed need sorting, they found money for the training ground, so they can find money for this.

Once delivery of seat backs arrived they would only take an afternoon to fit. It's just nuts and bolts!

Completely off topic but the scoreboard is an absolute disgrace. We went near enough a whole year without one, then when the much hyped new scoreboard that had to be purpose built in China finally turned up, it turns out to be a poor like for like replacement that has had issues ever since. Now it doesn't work at all.
I imagine the club under the previous Chairman weren't willing to fund a proper replacement like in the SW corner.
I hope the current regime will see that it actually gets fixed for the long term this time.

972 left now, including W31.
Going to be as near a home sell out as makes no odds.

That scoreboard with the time on it is vitally important for those of us who want to count how many seconds it takes to get a goal kick back into play, or how long it takes a substituted player to leave the pitch. ;)

From where i sit in the south west corner i've noticed quite a few times supporters looking to the big screen to check how much time left in games, especially the tight ones. That the main scoreboard is constantly revolving adverts makes it nigh on useless for this purpose.
A glance to the north east corner is even more pointless!
-
It is a ‘poor do’ when the majority of home support can’t view a screen.
I appreciate the positioning of the screen was for those patronising the East Stand but c’mon, someone please give the West Stand some thought. Even if it’s just a Station Clock!

I seem to remember it was to do with it being the closest place to the Press Box etc in the middle of the West due to the amount of cabling needed

I mentioned this in the post match survey. If the score board is u/s then the big screen needs to show the time and score. Surely they could have it in the corner if they must still show ads. Not being able to see the score and time elapsed during a match is unacceptable.
-
894 in home end.

Nudga, think your counting the two blue away fans sections, E1,E2, discounting them it’s about 450 seats left for rovers.
They are home fan sections. Otherwise they wouldn't be available for sale.

We have kept these back for rovers fans palace only have behind the goal

Dinner time update.
739 left.
-
To get rid of any ambiguity, I have just spoken to people in the know at our club.
We have just under 1,000 home seats remaining.
Looks certain to be a full house, allowing for the segregation.Get them whilst you can.
Hope this helps. RTID.
-
Noted.
-
So around 700 left which means there's going to be a good turnout however many are sold between now and Monday. I wonder if there might be a final surge if we win on Thursday and/or folk make last minute decisions. I guess the club have the option of opening up the North West blocks W32, 33 plus N34 to N37 if they feel there's sufficient demand v extra concourse outlets etc.
I'm guessing once the 700 sell we're looking at @12,000 (assuming Palace sell @2000)

12k is ok but not great. Not particularly a fixture that gets people’s juices flowing like others may have.

I would guess had it been Saturday at 3pm it would have been sold out by now.

I'd agree with that DBR.
Hard to think of a worse time for a match than a Monday evening at this time of year.
For a start I imagine that will rule out a lot of young kids who would otherwise have come.

Exactly, 2 in my house. My lad has played the game about 5 times now though by himself. Molyneux is getting the winner apparently.

That's lovely to hear but also sad for your lad. Maybe a letter to the FA to thank them for denying him the chance to make his dreams come true.

Don't be thinking a sell out is 15k. It isn't.
It's just over 13k these days!

I can understand we've lost a few hundred seats under scoreboard etc but how the hell have we lost thick end of 2000 ???
-
Yes, we have lost a good few hundred seats that were taken out for the score board....but then under the score board is a section of six rows that are netted off. This is apparently to make sure fans don't obstruct the view of the screen. It doesn't need to be that many rows. Just the two closest to the screen. So unnecessarily about 50 plus seats could be sold, but aren't.
The south stand is unallocated seating, that loses 10 percent, approximately 350 seats.
The same has happend for full away allocations in the north stand, capacity reduced from 3334 to 2970....this was the case for Everton at home last season. And chesterfield at home this season.....because we want to make
the experience for more comfortable for the away supporters apparently. They all get a seat if allocated so not sure what the motive is, it almost appears woke! So that's Another 350!!
Not sure if it's unallocated for palace on Monday, but I suspect it will be against a week on Saturday against Grimsby.
Around the dug outs loses seats.
Segregation of half a full block, to much in my opinion, that's another 250, as was the case against Crewe. Way over zealous.
Approximately 150 seats in W32 and W33 that don't have any seat backs due to being used for seat back replacements elsewhere in the stadium. This area was netted off against Crewe in the playoffs.
The attendance against Crewe was 12889. The home seats sold out and the away allocation wasn't quite sold out. My guess is the capacity is approximately 13300 give ot take. Almost 2000 lost.
Progress eh!!
-
Wasn't the attendance against Leeds in league one 15,001 if I remember correctly?
-
I can understand we've lost a few hundred seats under scoreboard etc but how the hell have we lost thick end of 2000 ???
We haven't. In this instance we haven't opened up the remaining blocks in the North Stand not taken by Palace (they have blocks 39 to 44?)
Then there's the segregation blocks between fans plus we don't sell all seats in the South Stand to accommodate unreserved seating.
We opened up the North West quarter v Crewe last season (although we didn't sell all those) so the attendance was 12,889.
The tie v Palace in 2019 when I think they had the whole away end the attendance was 14,010.
In my opinion the club do a good job in balancing demand v safety and comfort.

But palace in 2019 got a full away allocation of 3334, so why do full away allocations now only get 2970. For comfort apparently. The netting under the score board is way over the top. I don't think we would get over 14k again until certain measures were reversed.
And in 2019 the seats that are now rendered U/S in blocks W32 and W33 due to the seat back removal were available to be sold back then.
-
I don’t know why we have to lose so many seats for segregation.
At Hull in the recent cup game there was barely any segregation, both sets of fans were extremely close together and as far as I know there was no trouble.

Someone will tell me if I'm wrong but I think the seating capacity was reduced to 14,978 to accommodate the TV screen.

I think, if needs be, we would reduce the segregation to ram the place full. Just not a need for it is there.

If demand was such that it exceeds what we choose to lose for segregation (also taking into account the concourses) then the club will balance that v the cost of extra stewarding and, or Policing.
In the days when we played Leeds, all seating was reserved and the adult price for a match ticket was around £28.
If we get to a place where there's more demand than seats, then I'm sure these things will be looked at again.

Have you been to Wards in town? You'd love it.
-
264 left for home end as of 1 minute ago!
-
Plus, this is just my opinion, when I watched the Crewe fans vlog of that game, there were families of Rovers fans sat in the North across the block of segregation. Now of course the Crewe fans were full of it, but looking at the faces of those kids and parents on the receiving end, I wouldn't want to be sat there if I could help it.
All I'm saying is, if we don't need to narrow the segregation then don't do it.
-
264 left for home end as of 1 minute ago!
Has to be more….364 tickets left in W31??

621 left.

9,431 left.

In reality it’s about 500. Others being single seats dotted around the ground.

Click on the w31 section. It shows the seats available there.

If booking site accurate it looks like only around 500 left - come on Rovers win tonight and they'll surely all go !
-
480, get em gone.
-
E46 now open.
Now 542 tickets available
-
According to Becky, on X, 3 hours ago, there was 484 left.
-
If we are selling E46, surely the club is thinking about selling the north to home fans?
-
Hope that the players can show up for this, always seems like when the fans turn out in force the players don't.
We need all 3 sides of the ground (so far) to be as one together loud and proud and get behind grant and the lads
Come on rovers

Yeah but let's be fair - in this case we're significant underdogs.
Anyway, great support my lord.
-
Can’t see the East stand massif kicking off with any chants, can you?
West stand is like a library most games, but the East is on another level (of quietness) ;) :laugh:
-
116 tickets left as of 14:30 .
The clubs put out on social media that they've nearly all gone, so there won't be any more blocks to sell.
-
Just been in and got mine. Less than 300 left in home end. Palace done just shy of 2000 which is a great effort from them.
Just a tad less than 12k all in atm.
-
If booking site accurate it looks like only around 500 left - come on Rovers win tonight and they'll surely all go !
Some might be returning their's after last night's result
-
I’m not sure that many of us really think we will beat Palace.
They will have to have an off day and we would have to be at our very best, and even then it becomes a once in a lifetime win.
Of course, you never know in football and it might be one of those “I was there moments” that come along now and then.
The good news is that, whatever the outcome, our next match will be much easier for the players than the Palace match will.
-
Bit of a downer after last night’s result, but, hey ho, pull your socks up and have another go. Nobody is going to be surprised if we lose ( and it could be another heavy defeat) but we have to use it to get back to doing the basics right!
-
I guess if they’ve sold 2000 then there isn’t much scope to open up the north to us. I would imagine the maximum away allocation would need to be less than 1500 for it to work with the way the stand is segregated on the concourse.
Good effort by both sets of fans for a Monday night game
-
We have sold blocks 39-44 with the exception of about 60 in 39 and 30 in 44, all other seats have sold out. I think maybe 1700-1800 which is about 800 more than I expected, so fair play to those making the effort. Does feel as though 38 could be left as segregation and another 700-800 made available to Rovers fans but without knowing the configuration it is unclear whether this is feasible.

If you’re close to 2,000 on a Monday night, travelling from London for a 4th round FA Cup game against little old Donny, then I take off my hat to you guys.
Let’s hope for a good game, a great atmosphere, and may the best team win.
-
Has anyone else bought online and not had their ticket come through yet? got mine a week or two ago. Is it possible to retrieve them from the website?
-
Monday night travel arrangements for Palace fans to Donny and back will have required a lot of organising .though the club has put a number of coaches on free of charge.Train travel impossible for them because no late trains out after 10.30 pm .Also I don't think the London underground stays open all night in the week.
-

Same. Ordered mine on Monday but not had anything, can't see anywhere to download them. Full of flu so got someone going in to get them to print them off for us this morning.
-
If you received a confirmation e mail there is usually a download link at the bottom of the e mail,, assuming of course you chose the e ticket option
-
99% certain I chose eticket but not had the email.
-
40 tickets left now.
The club must have seen what I wrote a couple of times about posting on ticket sales milestones as they've done it a couple of times for this fixture.
That in itself creates a buzz and taps into the FOMO ( fear of missing out) psychological mindset.
Should do it for season ticket sales and other big league games.
-
Just released another 50 tickets in the East Stand.

Just released another 50 tickets in the East Stand.
It's changed again so 77 tickets now available.
Excellent turn out by the Donny public. Most of us were moaning about it affecting ticket sales with it being on Monday night.

14 left.

It's very hit and miss whether I get a confirmation email even when I buy away tickets. I've emailed the ticket office but might have to get someone to go in during Monday and sort it.

Sold out at 19.39h

Not quite, 16 tickets left.

Now down to 8

4

I may have a spare for south stand

1 ticket showing in E7
Get it while you can
-
here it is
-
SOLD OUT!
Unless they find some more tomorrow.
Excellent effort from ALL involved, the club, the owners, Rovers fans and Palace fans.
-
That's a superb outcome.
No disrespect but Palace aren't exactly a huge attraction. We were regularly matching them just over a decade ago. So to completely sell out on a Monday night is a big statement.
-
We got cheated twice at their place, let's not forget that.

This.
Hardly a "special" fixture, and nothing new to play them, the Rovers fans are turning up to support OUR club
-
To sell out for this fixture is a superb effort by everyone.
As Grant said, well done to the Club for the ticket pricing and to the fans for responding.
Well done also to the Palace fans.
Now let’s make the stadium rock.
-
A celebration of football. The romance of The FA Cup is not quite dead.
-
here it is
That is a thing of great beauty - RTID
-
Why on earth aren’t we selling at least one of the two remaining blocks in the west stand? We’d clearly sell the tickets. Is there really that big a need for a big segregation area against palace in the FA Cup??
-
Excellent. Good to know v Grimsby it will be an even bigger crowd. Our home end sold out and Grimsby fetching more than Palace.
-
Interesting to read your comments about this not being a glamour tie and Palace not being a big draw, and largely I understand and respect your views. However the football landscape has changed. I am sure you would want one of the so called ‘Big Six’ instead.
However Palace have being in the Premier League for 12 consecutive seasons the 8th best amongst top flight teams. We currently boast 4 full England Internationals on top of full Internationals from several other countries. We just sold Olise to Bayern Munich, a player that will eventually win the Ballon D’or for £55 million. A new stand is increasing our capacity to 34500 with plans to further increase the stadium to 40000-45000. Compare the likes of Palace, Forest, Brighton, Brentford to the likes of Spurs, Man Utd who are absolutely woeful atm and currently Man City (financial/legal concerns) and Chelsea (say no more) and all those teams are better run and play better football than their ‘bigger’ counterparts. Currently only Arsenal and Liverpool I would deem real ‘glamour ties’ and Arsenal are already out.
The big six are living on their history but things are changing and drawing lower Premier League opposition like Spurs and Man Utd is not what it used to be, but would give you a great chance of progressing.
-
There’s probably some kind of overall historical league where clubs sit in their average place forever. That’s how people generally think of those clubs and it’s hard to change those views.
Brentford, Bournemouth, Wigan will never be ‘big’ clubs no matter how long they’re in the top division.
We’d like to think we can hover round the Tier 2 playoff zone but we’re a bottom 2 division team usually. Like the old sketch ‘we know our place’. Palace are Tier 2 with occasional forays into Tier 1. When we played you in the league in recent years it still felt like you were bigger than us. See also Southampton, Stoke etc.
Some clubs like Leeds, Owls, Blades, Forest will always seem ‘big’ even when we play them in lower divisions. The history looms so large.
-
Very informative PFiP, but I’m not sure there are many Rovers fans thinking about progressing! I think the majority would take a less than embarrassing defeat against any recognised superior team/club just so we get re-focused on our main aim this season and that is to get out of this league.
Safe travels to and from the game and good luck for the rest of your season.

Don't worry about it pal, we're a relatively small club and know out place in the scheme of things, of course we aren't as big of a club as crystal palace but it's not that long ago when we beat you in the league, and of course there's a real possibility we could play you in the league again at some point. Not so with the "big six"
There's even 2 bigger clubs than Palace down the road in Sheffield too, ones we have much closer ties to, with friends, family and colleagues supporting them etc.
it's not a derby, or the big 6. Or even Newcastle, Everton, Aston villa, west ham etc.
It's no slight on Palace, it's still a great club, but just doesn't have the draw of other clubs
-
Why on earth aren’t we selling at least one of the two remaining blocks in the west stand? We’d clearly sell the tickets. Is there really that big a need for a big segregation area against palace in the FA Cup??
Open those blocks and we need more policing, which is expensive.
That was what I was told a few years ago.

They were open for the Crewe match. Ableit half the seats that were netted off due to the seat backs missing. So not sure why they aren't selling the remaining seats in W33 and W33. It's not as though there have been any seats sold in N33 to N37. Almost 1500 seats now rendered not for sale!
-
Palace is definitely better than Brentford and Bournemouth due to where we all were a few years back and where we are now. It's also better than Southampton, Brighton or Ipswich due to geography. Also probably slightly less boring than Wolves or Fulham.

The seats don't have backs, they use that section for spare parts to repair other parts of the ground.
-
42 more up for sale, E8.

That's only the bottom half of these two blocks. The top half should be available sale just like the Crewe playoff game.

Mad that Rovers haven't advertised this. I only praised them yesterday for updates.
Should be shouting it from the roof tops that there's hardly any seats left.

I’ve a lot of respect for Palace and think they’re an established, progressive PL team and I know you’re a very different club to us historically but we were in the same league as you for several years in my Rovers supporting lifetime (heydey really) and I’ve seen us batter you at Selhurst Park so it’s difficult to shake the perception that you’re not a big club.
Man Utd, Spurs & Chelsea might be basket cases at the moment but they’re still huge clubs in every respect of the word and even with the struggles of the former two they will possibly finish above you in the league.
-
Thanks for the responses. Just to clarify I was in no way suggesting that we are a ‘big’ team, we know our place, administration twice and being 45 minutes from not existing are sobering enough. It’s more how any team outside the big six can ever be seen as a good draw. Maybe Newcastle and Villa and even Everton to some extent can push that but history seems to play a big part. Look at Leicester, League Champions and FA Cup winners in the last few years and you probably wouldn’t have wanted to draw them any more than us.
And btw for the previous poster there is no way Man Utd or Spurs finish above Palace this season, they are mid Championship teams atm at best.
Obviously hope we win tomorrow but whatever happens I genuinely wish you well for the rest of the season and hope you get promoted. Not always the case but your fans have been top class in your responses and analysis of the game. Good luck!

I think the fact that we have pretty much sold out the home allocation on a monday night shows that plenty of people still would class this as a glamour tie

We have played Palace in the league in fairly recent memory. That’s why it doesn’t feel like a really big game. Same could be said for Newcastle, Brighton, Leicester and others…
-
Not only did we play Crystal palace and beat them, we finished above them in the league table 2 years running.
This certainly isn't a glamour tie, it's a big game, but not a glamour tie by any stretch.
-
With the greatest respect to Palace, I think we'd stand more chance beating Man U right now. Palace are a better team so in the extremely remote possibility we win the tie, I'm sure it will be regarded as the best cup result in our history.
-
I see we have virtually sold out the blocks made available, given there is still 2 days, why have we not released another block?
-
I think Palace are a great club. I wish we had been drawn away. They are doing great in the premier league, regularly take points off the so called bigger teams and develop international players.
I suspect that they do great work in the community as well
I wonder how many of our fans would like to swop places with them?
-
Now announced as sold out in the home sections. But that doesn't include any seats available in W32 and W33.....or any blocks left in the north stand.

For what it's worth I see any tie against a Prem team as a glamour tie. Teams like ours don't get to play against high quality teams very often & we should embrace it & hope we can pull off a miracle. Of all the Prem teams Palace are one of the teams I love watching most along with Newcastle & Forest. They all play really exciting football & like to entertain. Whatever the result on Monday I will enjoy the tie.
-
The only worry I have when we play TLOPalace, a steady mid table team, is they put out strong teams whilst the big 6 always play a mixture of 1st team, fringe players and youth which always give a chance, remote as it may be, of an upset.
I fear Palace will be too strong for us tomorrow, I do hope I'm wrong
-
It’s a historic occasion because given the clubs status as a fourth tier club it’s the first time it’s reached the fourth round whilst playing in the fourth tier of the football league pyramid.
It’s also worth noting the last time the club played an FA Cup tie against a team from the top flight as a fourth tier club was 51 years ago versus Liverpool when the two clubs met in round three during January 1974.
-
Attendance prediction time:
11893
All the tickets have been sold, will be more in the 13-14k region, I'd say 13,800 - then again I don't know how many Palace have sold so could be under 13k
-
12500 tops.

Not in the away end they haven't. You are miles off with that prediction.

Against Crewe it was a home sell out, plus half of the north stand, plus the Crewe section, and the attendance was 12889.
For this game it sounds like the arrangements haven’t been made to segregate the North Stand and have Rovers fans in part of it, so if Palace aren’t bringing the full 3k I would assume part of the North Stand will be empty. Presumably we can only segregate it half way along as the concourse needs segregating as well as the stand itself.
Therefore I would imagine the earlier prediction of 11.8k won’t be too far off.
Phenomenal effort to have a home sell out for this game anyway. Palace are clearly a great club and have gone to a whole new level since we used to go toe-to-toe with them in the Championship, but this is the sort of appetite for tickets that you’d expect if it was Spurs or Liverpool. Great effort.
-
Unlikely to be 13+ the palace fan stated they had been given N39-44 so still leaves N34-35
-
Palace may not be the “name” that Liverpool or Arsenal, Man Utd etc might be, but at the moment they seem to be a club on the up. Without a cataclysmic collapse in form, they’re not in a relegation battle and IMHO are realistic contenders to win the cup. I expect they’ll pick a virtually first choice 11.
As much as I would want to see a shock, I can’t see anything but a comfortable Palace win tomorrow. Hopefully we’ll turn up as a team and make them work hard for it, create something ourselves and I’ll be happy if we can score. Losing by 3 or even 4 won’t be an embarrassment against them at all.
Anything else is a massive bonus.
Don’t pick up injuries and silly suspensions trying to play the hero either.
-

Looks like palace will be leaving 1500 empty seats in our away end. Holds about 3.2k

Back in the 80s/90s when it was nearly 2 generations since we'd been in Tier 2, a tie like Palace (who we had in the League Cup in the early 80s) was massive.
Now it merely a decent tie. That's no slur on Palace, just a statement of fact.

I’d expect a strong team from them but still 5-6 changes.

Expect Eze and Munoz to be the only changes, although he may bring Chilwell in for Mitchell. OG will go very strong initially and hope to bring players on if we could get the lead.

When played them in the League Cup in 81 the away leg was the same day as the Oxford Street bombing, traffic was even more chaotic than usual in London, we just made it to Selhurst Park for kick off. One the first buses Mr Mayfield ran, I wonder if he carried on organising them ?

Fully expect you to have it sewn up in half an hour, probably be 2-0 by then.
But, you never know .....

Plymouth away in the 5th round will be a bigger game than Palace.

I wonder……not really as I remember it.
We didn’t get many attractive FA Cup ties back then because I don’t remember us getting past the 2nd round much and then only 3 decent ties (Everton and Liverpool x2) ties so in a sense it’s an academic question.
We played them in Division 4 in the 60s when we were on the way down from the old Second Division. We played a lot of southern England teams for the first time then, clubs that were previously in Division 3 (South) and Palace were one of these. In fact, and I looked it up, Palace were in the First Division for 7 (non-consecutive) seasons in the 30 between the 60s and the end of the 80s and spent most of their time in Division 2. Of course Malcolm Alison also earned them a lot of publicity, off the field at least.
What you could anticipate back then was that top clubs did not put out weakened teams in the cup. Perhaps this was because they had smaller squads and the FA Cup was more important. It ranked alongside the First Division title until the 70s at least.
And CiM - you could say that, but our friend from CP says they WON’T do what most top teams have been doing for a while - not putting out their best 11. … well done Plymouth.
-
Reasonably consistent record of us being cheated by officials at Palace. Be good to get a rub of the green with the ref and his stooges on Monday evening.
-
2 tickets left in the away section from 39 upwards. Certainly an uptick in sales after Liverpool got knocked out. Feels like a massive game tomorrow. No Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool in the 5th round, wonder how long it’s been since that happened?
-
Cheers palace fan IP. How many do you make that roughly in total in the palace end?
-
I think it’s about 1800

Expect Eze and Munoz to be the only changes, although he may bring Chilwell in for Mitchell. OG will go very strong initially and hope to bring players on if we could get the lead.
Am I right in thinking Eze is injured??

First & foremost thanks for coming on the forum & being respectful to a club that aspires to be playing Championship football because, with all due respect, that is the division that is the ‘last bastion’ of ‘proper football’.
After the Championship it all comes down to money. Nothing more nothing less.
We had a manager here in our Championship days who told the board something it didn’t want to hear. Sean O’Driscoll told his board that given the attendances & the amount of monies he was given to ‘improve’ the squad, we were only ever going to be a yo-yo club between league1 & the Championship. He was ultimately sacked for his foresight because believe you me, there isn’t a supporter of this club that wouldn’t give their right arm (metaphorically) to be in that position today.
I’m not blowing smoke up your derrière when I tell you that out of all the ‘London clubs’ yours is the only one I can honestly say I personally have any affinity to. The rest (Fulham aside) I don’t give a flying pig for (I include Brentford in that group for historical reasons).
I hope we beat you tomorrow night. It means more to our club financially than you could ever comprehend.

He has a minor foot injury and probably could play but OG has indicated he won’t travel. We do have a couple of players who can cover his position, Kamada and Esse the new kid from Millwall.

I know we all have our perspectives depending on which club you support but to give you mine. I have supported Palace for 57 years and I am not getting any younger. We have played in two FA cup Finals and lost them both, we have never won anything of significance. We did win the ZDS cup many moons ago, not that anyone will remember. We have never played in Europe, spent the majority of our existence outside the top tier and have been in administration twice and very nearly ceased to exist in 2010. My lifelong dream is to see us win a Cup, we were within 10 minutes both times. My life is getting shorter and I look at who is left in the Cup and I am not sure we will get many better chances. So I hope we beat you today ‘it would mean so much to my club and me personally than you could ever comprehend.’
But we have also been the underdogs more times than I care to remember and know exactly what it’s like to bring those ‘bigger’ clubs and their entitled supporters down a peg.

I hear you 100%.
Rovers fans since 1968 and seen us from Championship to Football Conference.
Mostly League One / Two.
Ironically, given your time with Palace and given our lowly status, I've seen us win amazing 'finals' at Wembley and Cardiff and Stoke and back in the 70s and 80s I'd have never dreamt of those occasions.
All about perspective I guess.
Enjoy the evening :-)

It’s easy for us fans of lower league clubs to sometimes think all premiership clubs are easy to support and ‘have it all’ but your post says it all about being a footy fan, just want to win something, even premiership clubs yearn for a ‘ big time’ just like us.
You’re likely to win comfortably tonight, if you do, then make sure you go and win the whole thing.
As an aside, always liked Palace as they’ve had the best kits throughout the decades, that 70’s one was class.
-
Christ, we've all gone a bit soft since they took the lead out of petrol.
Whatever happened to "You're going home in a Donny ambulance?"
-
Both clubs were members of the recently formed Division Four back in 1959/60 and 1960/61. Palace completed the double over Rovers on both occasions but since then Palace have recorded just the one victory away from Selhurst Park. We have a decent record against them at home.
-
One final point from me to ‘our Palace friend’.
There’s no ‘R’ in Doncaster.
-
Southern bedwetters.
If palace were outside London, they would be a league 1 club.
-
No R in Doncaster? You may wish to reconsider that.
However. Were we to win tonight would it be a greater upset (or shock) than Plymouth's upset against the Pools much changed (9) team?
Certainly in places below.
In reality, I'm expecting a typically strong, ruthlessly efficient and predictably solid performance from Palace. Like last time, done and dusted in 20 minutes or so and then put their feet up. We were much stronger back then, also.
Fingers crossed they don't embarrass us. Could be a hard pill to swallow. Don't need that right now.

I remember watching Palace humble Liverpool in the FA Cup semi in 1990 (I think). I was in Amsterdam and managed to find an Irish bar with the game on. It was a cracking game and I was elated for Palace that they won... I recall Mark Bright scored and I think Alan Pardew got the winner..? We had several Guinness that day and it was a special afternoon.
Saying all that, I hope you have an off night this evening and little old Donny turn you over.... although it's in hope rather than expectation...

Probably because they would be waiting 2-3 hours for one.

Released some more tickets in the west stand if anyone needs any.

-

Yep, just saw that - 91 tickets available in W32.
That's after the club announced it was totally sold out yesterday. They've managed to magic up a few more, let's get them sold!

Sorry, but this is completely amateurish from the club. You can’t just officially announce it’s a sell out and then the next day put some more tickets on sale! Who makes these decisions? Should have been on sale from day 1. We’ve potentially lost money by being thick.
Worst thing is, they haven’t even informed people some tickets are back on sale. Talk about incompetence
-
Yep, W32, 75 tickets.
-
Just what on earth are the club playing at ?!

The communication from the safety officer/stadium committee and the COO is laughable. It will be the poor staff in the ticket office who get it in the neck from everyone.
This just isn't good enough.
Each and every block that was able to be sold should have been communicated to the ticket office manager from the very start.

Mention it everytime they do it on the telly :-) One of my little annoyances
-
I imagine, Palace fan, you will remember Don Rogers? I believe he's still amongst us although his sports shop looks more and more run down as the years pass by. I took my then young son in there one day a few years back - ostensibly looking for some cricket kit but really to introduce him to a League Cup winner and a generally good, and rapid, footballer. A nice, and surprisingly small, man.

Last min larry as per, just found out will be done from work in time afterall.
Any tickets going?
Need 1 atleast but ideally two? Can meet with cash at ground.

I do Bob, saw his debut in 1972, scored the winner in a 1-0 win, an instant hero. Great player.

‘Doncster’ bothers me more than it should.
-
This ticket situation is total incompetence.
Presumably the north stand to the west side will be empty, so why did they not do same as the Crewe game.
People have said to me they wanted to go but sold out.
We are seeing so many times issues are occurring, it’s time someone took a closer look at the whole situation, regarding all communications from the club.
Like someone already posted, the ticket office staff will get the complaints again.
-
We only just sold out yesterday the day before the match so people have had plenty of time to get them.
If we had sold out on the 2nd or 3rd day then I can understand it
-
I think there is too much complacency and excuses. The demand is there (still so it would seem) and the supply is there (with a little more forethought and proactivity).
We should be pulling out all the stops to get as many in as possible. Or at least explaining to people why we aren’t!
-
I've seen a release from the club regarding using the correct turnstiles tonight, as per your ticket. Assuming the ones at the north end of the West Stand are open tonight, and I sit at the north end, my ticket has turnstiles 17-19 on it which are at the south end :headbang:
-
It was a nightmare getting into the west stand with a huge queue out into the car park, not sure what caused the delay?
-
The club put it out on the website to use your allocated turnstyle, yet in the West stand the stewards were telling people to use other turnstyles, conflicting information causes confusion!
-
Filo they said you can use other turnstiles,if you want to. Trying to reduce queuing
