PMSL Torquay v Crawley being a televised game, I can see the viewings rocketing. The only tv coverage we will get is on You Tube.
The TV companies will wait for the 5th round before televising either of us, why do it now when they know at least one of the smaller clubs will be in the 5th round.

If you read back through the thread you will see I have stated that half the fans on the Crawley site are billy big balls and half are in touch with reality. The quotes I have posted have not in any way been edited from what was said by the billy big balls! They were posted to insight banter, something which I have enjoyed greatly with you guys on your site.

As I have said over there, it is going to be a cracking and close cup tie between two very closely matched teams.

I will take back the 'pikey site' comment, and will replace it with look at what some pikeys are posting on their site!

In fairness the thread which reads 'we have got Torquay rattled already' and then use of direct quotes from a Torquay forum, along with some of the bizzare comments made about us on their, deserved to be shared here for our amusement!

Think we just need to let Crawley do all the talking ,let them be favourites suits us down to the ground we allways do better as underdogs,let there arrogant fans gob off,does not really matter.

When 'al loads of money' works out that no matter what he puts in ,they will never get over 1500 fans,they will never be anything other than a tiny,tiny lilttle club,he will disappear and they will be out of buisness,and oh how we will laugh at fat boy and bobbin .

The important thing to remember is that a lot of there fans are pretty genuine and should not be tarred with the same brush as these glory boys who have jumped on there bandwagon,which the wheels could fall off sooner than they think.

As at the end of the season when they are playing sat-tue-thur to catch up there fixtures,afc wimblendon will win the conference.

Is it just me or are most of these Crawley fans (apart from the one on the "Evening all" thread and Jacko above) seem to be absolute c*cks? We can't stand their manager but it seems the arrogance has been passed down to the fans.

Richinns wrote:One of the many similar views from their pikey forum!

Bless you for your interest Mr Inns. Of course I realise that fans of your club have no need to read the Conference forum, until next season that is, but if you had a look you would see my explanation of the club's financial position, which I shall repeat briefly for your benefit.

The club is blessed with investment from our new owner, Sheikh Ibn Al Promotion. If we need any increase in funds, he just increases the quota of barrels being filled at his oilfields. If he ever becomes disinterested he has several football mad heirs who would contine to be interested and would takeover his position.

So you see you really shouldn't be concerned about us. We certainly look forward to our visit to you in the Cup as it is unlikely we will be playing you next season when we are in the Football League because your selling of Crawley reject Benyon and a few others will lead to a downturn in your form and your defeat by us will cause such turmoil at your club that we will pass you on our way up while you enjoy a return to the Conference.

I hope this brief explanation clarifies the situation and reassures you that there really is no cause for concern.

Bless you for your interest.

BTW can you get someone at your club to let us know as soon as possible whether the date will be moved to accomodate tv coverage.

Thank you in advance, and please enjoy a good season until we spoil things for you

Here is another one:

Of course they are worried. We're better than them, and our away form is good. Not sure what sort of season they are having, but I genuinely feel they are there for the taking.

And it goes on!:

We've beaten Swindon away Derby at home. Do you think that little old Torquay hold any fear for us?

The dillusions of granduar is amazing!

So, you've spent 14,000,000,000,000,000 on players in 3 weeks, you're Premier League class and it is a loss to world football that you are ineligible for Champions League football?

Why then, pray tell, have you not won every match you have played, scoring 1000 and conceding none in the process?

I think you'll find it's because you are, despite paying massively over the odds* for distinctively average players, nothing more than a reasonably good non league club.

*they paid £275,000 for Brodie, now, I ask you, would you want Brodie, or Benyon, Ellis and O'Kane for the same fee?

I too have been on their forum, regarding possible attendance, it seems their plan may be to hire an airplane, yup, a fecking AIRPLANE for the mammoth 208 mile journey.

I feel sorry for their genuine fans, because they won't have a club to support within two years. This happens time and time again, but at least they can enjoy their time in the sun now for a while before AFC Crawley start out at the bottom again in 2013/14.

Re: crawley it is then..

Those Crawley fans' comments made me chuckle.

After getting just under 4,000 against Derby, how many will turn up for the next home game? 1500?

Absolutely huge.

They will give us a tough game of that I'm sure, but with the results we've had at times there is no need to feel worried, we just need to make sure we're focussed and play to our own strengths, unlike Derby who played right into their hands.
Yeah - I remember the first time when Stevenage played Newcastle and Stevenage (non league at the time) came out with all sorts on nonsence. Public opinion soon changed and instead of public support there was public disapproval. Everyone got behind Newcastle and hoped they got beat.

Let hope the same happens here.
