That's true - but there are also other costs that are deducted too.Diamond_ Wolf wrote:The policing costs are taken from the gate money which is then spilt between the two teams apparently.SCARECROW wrote:I agree this is not the best time to be playing them, but look on the bright side we get half the gate money and they pick up the policing costs, unless i am mistaken.

I wouldnt want to lose an FA cup tie to anyone especially them. The FA cup is a great competition and we should want to be involved for as long as possible.

Re: K*ttering Away - FA Cup
I would mind less if we lost in the cup than the league I'll be honest, I wouldn't like it but as long as we beat them in the league I'm happy enough.

Full fixture listing on BBC now: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 079168.stm
Big-spending Blue Square Bet Premier leaders Crawley Town will travel to third-placed Newport County in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.
Among the other five all-Premier ties is a local derby between K*ttering Town and Rushden and Diamonds.
The 24 teams from non-League's top flight enter at this stage - which is the final round before Football League teams join in the first round proper.
Fourth qualifying round ties will be played on Saturday 23 October.
The lowest-ranked club left in the competition, Radcliffe Olympic from the East Midlands Counties League, face a third qualifying round replay against Tipton Town, with the winners facing Sheffield or Frickley Athletic.
In the other ties between top-flight sides, Altrincham face Gateshead, Tamworth play host to Grimsby, Kidderminster entertain York and Southport visit Wrexham.

Re: K*ttering Away - FA Cup
It really doesn't matter who we play, losing is NOT an option IMO. The FA Cup is a valuable source of income and we need to get as far as we can in the competition. The fact that the game is a local derby might ensure a healthy crowd particularly as both teams are in good form right now and that means much needed revenue for both clubs. We don't have a home game between now and the game so I hope that won't impact on our ticket sales (I'm assuming the game will be all-ticket).
I could live with a draw on the day so long it's followed by us winning the replay at NP but I'd feel like that no matter who we were playing!
We'll be there for sure.
