    I would be doing everything physically possible to get the cup tie switched to The Emirates.

    We all know how much money there is at the top of the game and despite what folk might say to try and justify it, the money is not trickling down. Sutton have every right to milk it for every penny they can, and good luck to them.

    Aye, it's a shame for them that they've dropped on 2 big home ties in a row when they'd probably get considerably more if the games were played at the Emirates or Elland Road.

    The team drawn at home should always have home advantage. I'd not agree with ties being switched for money and if it was the interest in the match would dwindle significantly with neutrals.

    A hard fought game or a ****ing hiding on the wide open spaces of the emirates?

    If I were the Chairman I'd try to get it switched to Stamford Bridge or Selhurst Park. Sutton could still count it as a home match and Arsenal wouldn't have home advantage. Sutton should be doing their best to win it as well as maximise their income from it.

    Think I'm right in saying that their main source of funds is actually their manager, who has put c. £1m in, so I think he'll have a word with himself and decide to play on the plastic.

    It's got everything to do with romance. Arsenal hand all gate receipts over + tv money would see Sutton right for the next 10 years. It would be a dream for those players to play at the Emirates. It would be there World Cup/ champions league final rolled into one. Imagine there 45 yr old over weight sub goalie coming on for last 5/10 minutes. Would be absolutely fantastic

    I think the point is it would be more "romantic" to play at Sutton's ground.
