Palace boss Warnock excited by Dover Athletic FA Cup tie

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has welcomed their FA Cup draw with Dover Athletic.

Since the draw was made on Monday evening, the Conference Premier side have dubbed the clash as the "biggest in their history" and have already begun talks ground safety and ticket policies for the big day.

"I think it's fabulous - it's just what the FA Cup is about," Warnock told the Croydon Advertiser.

"It's horrible for the manager on the day because you can't win. If you don't beat them you get stick and there's a chance of it being the biggest upset ever, so you don't want to be labelled with that.

"But in general it's what the competition is all about and the magic. It's fantastic and I'm looking forward to it.

"I took a team down there quite a while ago. I think it may have been a friendly game in pre-season with Palace, because I remember driving down there.

"It's a nice little ground too and friendly people."
