Worst kind of draw possible. No money and very very very unlikely to win against a team of their profile. They went quite strong today.

We'll make more than we did today

Not often i disagree with you Gaz but this is an exception. Will be a full house, probably on TV as well, and gets the club publicity, and you just never know do you.  Far better than a Cardiff, Exeter Plymouth away draw etc.

when there were just 4 teams in the pot it was our get out of jail card.

Just checked when Roy Hodgson & Palace last came here in the F A CUP

17 Feb 2019   Doncaster Rovers v Crystal Palace   L   0-2   FA Cup

I expect the same score ... they always have grease lightening strikers AND ARE A FANTASTIC CLUB TO GET LOANEES FROM as they hoover up the South London Talent

Update
From the date I looks like that was also the 4th round ?  deja vu once again ?

and let's hope they see us as a good footballing side with a proper stadium and maybe they might loan us a player next season when we are promoted.

Our tie has the biggest gap between the two sides but Lineker didn’t even mention our game when summarising the draw.
Too busy getting a stiffy over Van Nistlerooy facing Man U. They love that pointless stuff.

- nor were viewers informed of our number in advance of the draw. We just don’t count I’m afraid.

Likely to get tv money.
Big crowd.
It could have been Plymouth away.

And they had that cheating bugger who scored 2 penalties agin us at their place right at the start of Dave Penny's team coming good and winning the 4th Div. Rovers played well that night. We scored a cracking goal - best goal of the night by a mile.

Not a bad draw for me,
Incomparable to Plymouth or Exeter home or away,
Plenty of other ties were worse than this one,
We will give them a game and it won’t be like the usual home games where people just sit in and defend

Neil Shipperley should have been sent off in that game. Utter kitson.

Yes! Thank you. A stellar pass out from defending a corner by our midfielder. Why can't I remember names these days?! We got him from Mansfield I think. Tough bloke. Good player.

Yes from a cutting Doolan pass. Andy Johnson "won" the penalties for Palace I think.

I think it’s a decent draw for us. We will give Palace a game.

It will sell out for sure. Did Palace sell the north stand last time?

John Doolan. A class above that season. (And Jesus what a season)

Try googling Neil Shipperly and see what his present career is  ?

14,010 was the attendance in 2019 (5th rnd) so near enough a sell out but can't recall what allocation we gave them. Suspect we won't be giving them 4000 this time anyway, so hope we home fans rise to the challenge.

Gaz, I rarely disagree  with you, especially on your assessment  of players and performances, and indeed your analysis of performance indicators, albeit I  am not a massive fan of xg. However, on this occasion  you are talking nonsense. The draw could have been much better but there were a number of worse potential games in there and, when you consider the final 4 balls were, Cardiff, Stoke, Palace and ourselves, this was undoubtedly the best of the remaining six ( potential  home and away) options

i used  this year's 4th round matches to be played around Saturday 8th February 2025   as a guide

and presumed  the  match played on Feb 17th 2019 would be at the same stage ??  4th round :headbang:

At the time, it was well publicised that it was our first time in the 5th round for decades..  it was only a few years ago too.

We got £115k for winning today which was handy.


Gate money will be low in the next round and we only get 45% of that (minus the VAT). Then probably 100k for being in TV, if we are chosen. Likely to be similar.

Hate knowing our (or anyone else’s) number before the draw, thankfully managed to avoid the sanitised pre draw ball numbers being called out and displayed by putting my fingers in my ears, humming and closing my eyes.
Made the actual draw miles more tense and exciting.
Also find it hilarious we have folk moaning we have a 4th round FA Cup home tie against a premiership team. Absolutely remarkable.

Great accomplishment from the team…Well Done Rovers.

We beat Chorley, Charlton, Preston and Oldham to get to the 5th round in 2019.

As it came down to the last few balls I had fingers crossed for Man City but not to be. So Palace at the Eco it is - again!!

I suppose it will all depend. Can we sell a ground out at £20 rather than the usual £15 for adults. Then the concessions etc

  If I remember rightly, when we played them previously the Crystal Palace fans loved it up here, cheap tickets beer and food and a great stadium, and no bother at all.
  They couldn't get over it., quite a few writing how they had enjoyed it up here after the game.
