....is what they are calling the game today at Old Trafford. Crawley Town will meet Manchester Utd in the 5th round of the F.A.Cup. Crawley Town are the only non-league side still left in the cup and to get this far, is a great achievement. But is this where it ends? Manchester Utd., one of the top and biggest of the Premier League teams in English Football will be at home when Crawley Town travel from their small ground [in comparison] to the huge stadium known to everyone as "Old Trafford". The game plays today and kickoff is at 5.15pm. Here are some odds from some of the sportsbooks: Betfred SportsbookMan U to win 1/11 Draw 10/1 Crawley Town to win 25/1 William Hill Sportsbook Man U to win 1/10 Draw 8/1 Crawley Town to win 22/1 SportingbetMan U to win 1/12 Draw 7/1 Crawley Town to win 18/1 It will certainly be an interesting game. Good luck to Crawley Town. blue |

I'd love to see Crawley winning this one or at least getting a draw and earning the right to a replay at home. That's what the FA Cup is about, upsets and fairy tales!

Absolutely! I hope they do too. Man U will be "shaken" if they do. Good luck to them - they'll get some nice receipts out of it if nothing else. blue |

It didn't happen but Crawley did come pretty close to getting a draw, Man United won 1-0 but the underdogs hit the woodwork during stoppage time! A replay would have been nice...

What a shame for Crawley. They did well to come this far and they did brilliantly to only lose by one goal to Man U.
Will we see them in the league anytime soon do you think?

They have a long way to climb to the Premier League, a very long way. They would have to get no less than four promotions before getting to the top flight so I guess you should wait for at least four years  |

Sorry - I didn't mean the premier league - I just meant the league.

Oh, I see. They are doing a pretty good job in Blue Square Premier actually, they are in second place at the moment so they have a pretty good chance of getting promoted to League Two. |
