Rubbish, if that was the scenario then Danny Stevens will win it with a last second header into the back of the net.

I do hope our lads are focusing on tomorrow's game against Gillingham; I just can't! Imagine this. We're 3-1 down to Crawley with 15 minutes to go. Elliot has just been sent off for 'diving'. A capacity Plainmoor is in uproar. What to do?

We're playing good flowing football but decision after decision has gone against us. If only we had a target man. We need goals, we need them now and losing isn't an option.

So this is what happens next. Bevan, Robbo, Ellis, Branston and Nicholson guard the goal with their lives. Some lovely one-touch football appears as if from nowhere - no trickery, just skill and good old-fashioned team-work. it works. Kee smashes one in. 3-2. Then another in quick succession. Our luck has changed but now we're in the 4 minutes time added on and we need another goal to clinch it. They're in possession now, looking dangerous.

But suddenly the break is on. Mansell to Zebroski - O'Kane out to Stevens, on to Wroe ---- Zebroski looking for Kee . ELLIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark has just run the length of the pitch and heads in the winning goal. The crowd goes wild. Steve Evans is crying as the final whistle goes.

Who said we need a passionate pacey agile tall target man? Perhaps we already have one. Mark, I believe, started his career as a striker. The wise man's treasure is buried beneath his feet.

Hoping we will get this game live but almost certain the winner of the tie will get a showing in the 5th round. The money the club could gain if we get a money spinning 5th round tie would be £1 mill + surely?! I hope we still get a cracking gate despite the draw and imagine that we shall all get right behind the club and wind up Mr Evans for the whole 90 minutes!

Did anyone else notice the vouchers from last nights game - they are valid for ANY FA Cup tie so could be a 'golden ticket' should we bag a high-flying Premiership team at home!

I don't see why it will definitely be live. They play each twice a season. The only reason would be the fact it is Chelsea! It's not going to be a massive shock say If everton won.

We have a good chance.

Everton v Chelsea with def be one (It is very rare they play each other!!!!) and Southampton v Man Utd was always going to be top pick. Have to say, out the rest I would of thought our game was a great representative of the F.A. Cup and should be shown, but I guess I am biased!

Stevenage will probably get it, just so they can get x2 TV money after the Newcastle game! (Guess they have earnt that right with their result - would be nice if the FA Cup gave us what we deserved so we can have a crack at one of the big boys).

I don t think we can complain.

A realistic chance of progressing to the 5th round for the first time ever in the club s history. And this against a club being bankrolled with funny money and managed by self-abusers.

I don t think the attendance will suffer unduly. It s as big a game to us as Derby would have been.

Lets all remember that we have never made it to the 5th Round before in our history. I did start to wonder if it would ever happen and this is the perfect opportunity!

If we do win, we're only one game from the Quarter-finals

I wouldn't agree with this. The way they've been throwing their money around hasn't impressed a lot of fans. It's unsustainable at their level with their support and would be for many in our division or even League One. I wouldn't say they've won any new fans or have any real sympathy among football fans in general, as said on Talksport this morning 'they are no ordinary non-league team', they spent more money in the summer than the whole of our division combined, they don't represent the conference/ non-league in any way shape or form because they are so separated from the reality of it. They won't get the widespread support that normally is given to the lowest placed club remaining in the cup.
