...as if we needed any more proof
Crawley draw Man United away
The whole footballing world, apart from a tiny patch of south east England, must be seething.
I know I am
The crooks have just recouped all the money they splashed out

Good luck to them they deserve the draw.
Nothing about them being crooks, just because he was in the past doesnt mind he is now.

Maybe their manager is more than a little iffy but their backers aren't - apparently, and I wouldn't call:
Brodie Tubbs Bulman Cook
et al crooks either. Good luck to them, let the team enjoy their day out, they will no doubt get stuffed by Manure Utd and if that looks unlikely then MU can always rely on the ref to help them out. ;D ;D ;D

I hate Steve Evans. But with family living in Crawley, ive been to watch them a few times over the years, and i wish then all the best. My grandad and cousin went to Torquay yesterday, so ill be going with them to Old Trafford. Not long ago, Crawley has 2 Asian brother running the club, they were thugs and crooks, so for their fans, its an exciting time. Its not their fans fault, someone is putting money into the club. I cant see to many people seething, i think the majority of people think is a great draw

to be fair the owners know they could be gambling with the club's future, but it would appear this gamble has paid off. Evans is a prick but good luck to them.

Right with you Socrates! The Devil looks after his own it would seem. I am pleased for Bulman and Cook and for the 1,500 spectators who normally comprise the Crawley home crowd, but my pleasure won't extend beyond that. Bet they manage a draw, and that would shake West Sussex to its core!

Some people in Crawley will have just realised they have a football club.

I cant see to many people seething, i think the majority of people think is a great draw But surely if you've made it as far as Manchester (assuming it's the Saturday 5pm game), it would be worth carrying on as far as Morecambe? Admittedly, Morecambe is an absolute hellhole, with absolutely no redeeming features other than the statue of Eric - and after travelling there last time for that (rather glorious) 3-0 win, I vowed never to return (how was I to know we were ever going to play them again?). But still, surely better than seeing a tinpot non-league club lose, probably by a vaguely respectable 3 or 4-1, at OT?

Good luck to them, OK they have far fewer fans than us but that doesn't make them any lesws deserving. As for success, I hope they do it in the league - them or Luton - no contest !!!!!

Much as I hate Mr Evans and his antics, no complaints about who Crawley did or didn’t get in the draw.
I cannot control it. More importantly neither can anyone else i.e. seeding. No one ever said the Magic of the FA Cup was supposed to be fair.

I've nothing against Crawley as a club but I don't think Evans and his back room staff deserve a thing simply for the way they behave on the touchline. They've been a disgrace for a long time now and more examples of their lack of respect for opponents and lack of sportsmanship were highlighted against Torquay.
