Do I pay a tenner for a month's ESPN subscribtion and watch both games live or pay probably £100 plus for two tickets plus travel costs, food etc! TV coverage is great but the scheduling of the game now causes a headache.
Not so brilliant! How do i explain to my 7 year old's mum, my wife, that her boy won't be home 'til the early hours of monday morning just hours before he's due to be at school. Or how do i explain to my son that daddy is going to Anfield and he's not!! I'm so nostalgic for 3pm football on a Saturday afternoon. Mind you the last time we played on Merseyside on a Sunday afternoon........... .

Crawley have put their prices up for Stoke, from the usual £17 to £32. I guess that's cos Stoke are Premier League. Interestingly, Crawley are only selling one ticket per person, so all attendees will have to visit the groujnd when tghe tickets go on sale. No wriggle room. Still not many Premier League teams will come to the Broadfield Stadium until August 2014 - when we are promoted to it... hopefully!

By my calculations we will be in for another windfall of somewhere between £600,000 and £1m (estimated gate receipts 50% thereof plus the £212,000 from ESPN).
Then there's the prize money IF we pull of a shock.
Kerching!
