Hopefully we'll get Fleetwood Town away (they need a replay in their game) as we'd be off to Highbury (granted in Lancashire).

I think ITV's consultation on what game to make their first choice ended about 10minutes ago...

[Syn]

I bet BBC/ITV will screen the Man Utd game. Again. Even though the result is a foregone conclusion.

Those bastards really have no shame.

[milla]

Leeds again eh. :lol:

Lets not almost make a hash of it this time.

Good chance to be live on BBC, that's the only reason Viniger fixed this up. :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good chance to be live on BBC, that's the only reason Viniger fixed this up. :coffee:

Er, there is no chance of us being live on BBC I am afraid.

[Marc Overmars]

BBC have FA Cup games?

[Rors]

No chance of a live BBC FA Cup game until at least November 2014...

:banghead:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC have FA Cup games?

No. ITV and ESPN.

[Rors]

We were last drawn against Bristol Rovers in the Third Round, 1993. Drew the first game at Villa Park, and then "ran out comfortable winners" in the replay. Those games were most famous for Ron and Big Mal (RIP) tearing strips off each other in the build-ups.

[Marc Overmars]

No. ITV and ESPN.

Part of the reason it's lost some prestige is because the competition is being aired on pub team channels. imo.

Agreed. BBC cutting their sport-bidding budget by 14% is a worry that it might be even longer until 2014 to wait too..

[milla]

Er, there is no chance of us being live on BBC I am afraid.

Ok ok, it would be ESPN imo.

[fakeyank]

Hope City gets knocked out and then Utd faces Pool/Chelsea n lose... our only realistic hope of silverware!

[Cripps_orig]

Was hoping for some top team instead of some pub team

[Cripps_orig]

Just saw Tamworths reaction on SSN to getting Everton.

Why get happy to get a team that will most likely kick their butts comfortably?

Or is the money factor? Typical greed from the lower league Pub Teams

Terrestial channels can't really compete with dedicated subscription ones though :shrug:
