Fa Cup 4th Round Draw News

Last updated : 05 January 2003 By Rob Stanway

Chris Iwelumo has told the official web-site that he wants a big club.

"Arsenal or Manchester United would be very nice in the next round - we wouldn't be bothered whether it was home or away" Said Big Chris.

However Gunnar Thor Gislasson may be thinking along different lines looking at what money the club could pocket should they progress another round. Stoke have already taken £50,000 from winning the 3rd round tie against Wigan and they're on for another £75,000 could they make it through the Fourth.

Fourth Round Proper winners

Fifth Round Proper winners

Not forgetting that TV Highlights and Live Matches (should Stoke be covered) all comes at a price and Stoke would be set to profit £40,000 if between 20 and 60 minutes of our game(s) is/are screened and a live game £265,000.

Most of the big names are still in the competition but the draw that us Stokies want the most is Stoke City vs Sunderland.
