I wonder if we could sell as many as the Crewe game? I’d be tempted to only give them half the north stand and limit their vocal presence and try to sell the other half to us. Half the stand is surely still around 1500 so should fit the 10% quota we are obligated to give them

Palace fans were always great during our Championship years, selling out the away end if I remember correctly.
They are always very loud too.
Could we limit them to 1500 and still sell out though?

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


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. 

So likely to be handy then....?

I think we could, the PO semi final showed it’s possible. We could have sold the whole stadium out that day, the demand was there.

Yes, isn’t it 10%.

Nonsense.

Would you say an away draw at Plymouth, Exeter or Mansfield would have been better?

We can fill the stadium for this and they ARE beatable. Stockport ran them close today.

Cheer up.

I think it’s up to 15% officially. The eco power lends itself to more than this as the concourse can be segregated around into the east stand

Fair enough if that is right.

Put them in east/north end and then the rest of the north to us if it’s 15%. That should do it

Also, hull only gave us 10% today (2.5k of 25k). So must only be 10%

  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.
That cup day, Palace fans packed out the away end and sang and created a great atmosphere, it was like they reversed our day…. They acted as if it was their cup final, not ours. One of the best away followings I can remember (just edging out Southend, at 5-1 down)

That conga by the Southend fans at 5-0 down was something else though.

The 4th round of the FA Cup is not for everyone, is it Mr Arteta?

We got the full Allocation for the capacity of the mkm.Leeds got the same in a sell out crowd. But we could and perhaps should have been given the north stand too

Nope,

The Southend lot can’t be topped..

That’s got to hit the away attendance surely.

What a crap date and time to hold the game, not much thought given to the fans, both Palace and Rovers. School night will keep away some of the younger fans and those that work. The game is not even on any of the main channels of the BBC just iplayer.

That sucks for the real football fans who'd rather watch live football. I can imagine that will give some Crystal Palace fans too many headaches logistically and have to resort to watching it on TV themselves.

Also bound to affect our fans too who have other commitments.

It’s doesn’t appear a very good deal for people who actually want to go to the game.

We have been absolutely shafted. Not content with the fiasco of the 3rd round we have not been selected as a TV game with all the monies that go with that. As the lowest placed team in the 4th round v a PL team we should have been nailed on for TV slot. BBCiPlayer will not bring in anything like the same money. That coupled with a Monday night ko when we are playing a London team will probably reduce the away following. I’m disgusted and angry. It’s the FAC for goodness sake. The smaller clubs are supposed to get a fair share of the spoils!

Less than half of the tv money of the games on the main channels, stinks to high heaven

Really awful decision by the FA people.
As has been said, not good for Palace fans and we should also think of the many Rovers fans who have to travel longish distances for matches at the Eco.
On the upside though, if the draw is on the Sunday like it was last time at least we will know who we are going to play in Round Five after we win the game.

Kind of cements what I said about it being a poor draw. Not even made TV.

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.

There we have it. An all premier league tie as the centrepiece of the televised games.

Van Nistlerooy might even be sacked by then and they’ll have to put all their specially made nostalgic VTs in the bin.

Maybe it's down to us and the Palace fans that do come to make it a proper colourful football spectacle?

Let's get those flags out

Bang on about the flags Nudga.
Whenever we have a match where there are lots of flags on show, especially under the lights, it always seems to give the atmosphere a big lift.
