There is likely to be a 40,000 sellout at Stamford Bridge for the fourth round tie, and Argyle will take a 45 per cent share of the net gate receipts, which will be a substantial sum.
It also gives Schumacher and his players the chance to test themselves against Thomas Tuchel’s Premier League high-flyers, as an added bonus to their ongoing push for the League One play-offs.
Former promotion-winning Argyle manager Warnock sent text messages to Schumacher and Andrew Parkinson, the Pilgrims’ chief executive officer, to congratulate them on the 1-0 extra-time win away to Birmingham City.
It turns out that the spectacular 104th minute goal from substitute Ryan Law has earned them an exciting trip to Chelsea, the eight-times FA Cup winners.
Warnock said: “It was a tough game, Birmingham, they are a physical, difficult side and what a great result.
“I congratulated Steven and Andrew before the draw and I just said I would cross my fingers for them, and then to get this (the away tie against Chelsea), I think that’s ideal.
