Chelsesa had over 41,000. When people stop caring about the FA Cup then you have to wonder where football is going.

@Luis...is a few thousand punds much to Liverpool? No...Gerrard earns more in a week than Luton will earn from today, when clubs like Luton go out of business and football starts to become nothing then perhaps someone will do something about the financial mess.
So how is that our responsibility? just because we're playing them? why don't West Ham give them money or better yet Roman Abromavich should give them the money he wipes his arse with after using the toilet

Let's hope for their sake Luton beat Liverpool and are rewarded with a game against Chelsea.

It's lost it's appeal im afraid. If we go back to when there was one team in the cl, then thats when it was big because european was not an aim for every team except 2 or 3. So everybody else wanted to do well in the f.a cup and first teams were always played. But now everywhere is reserve teams, the prem means to much etc. If i support Burnley i would be very excited to see how my team does against cesc etc. But to see them play against some reserves and still lose.....not so exciting....

Try telling the fans of Havant & Waterlooville or Coventry City or Huddersfield that it isn't special.

How many fans do havant have? i bet this forum has more people. Maybe the coventry fans thought being man u 0-2 in the carling cup was special also....

It does still have its appeal for me, i enjoy it as a nice distraction to an otherwise nothing season.

I would swap a replay with Luton followed by a game against Swansea or Havant for a carling cup semi against Everton any fucking day, the FA cup is far better in terms of prestige but for excitement I would loved that derby. And let's face it, for the top clubs neither cup gets you a lot of prestige around the world, winning your league does and winning the Champions league gets you the ultimate recognition.
