'Massive draw' - Hartlepool United fans react to FA Cup fourth round draw with Crystal Palace

Graeme Lee’s side will travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace next month as reward for beating Blackpool in round three at the Suit Direct Stadium.

David Ferguson and Joe Grey helped Pools come from behind against the Seasiders and will now have the opportunity to take on a Premier League team in the next round.

Patrick Vieira’s Eagles came from behind themselves in round three to defeat Championship side Millwall.

Pools have met Palace in the FA Cup before winning 1-0 against the Eagles back in 1993.

And Pools supporters have been reacting to the news of the FA Cup fourth round draw.
