Title: FA Cup on telly
Post by: baldrick on October 28, 2007, 05:11:59 AM: The BBC will be looking at potential upsets but they will want a game with a high public interest.

As it's November will they need decent flood lights to be able to cover it and have Gainsborough, Barrow, Billericay, Eastliegh got sufficient lighting? If they make the decision before the replays then there are only us and Torquay where you have conference team at home to league team. Mind you they went to Chase Town recently so it's anyones guess.

I just hope we aren't the Friday night Sky game, I want to be part of the whole first round weekend

From the looks of these, it seems there will be only two 1st round FA Cup games televised live. And Utd being at home on the Sunday may rule out us being the Sunday game. So I'd say Friday night on SKY may be our best bet.

I think the BBC have only the 1 live match - on the Sunday.

Can we have 2 big matches in Trafford on the same day?
Might the BBC put on an extra live match?

Post by: Hamilton on October 28, 2007, 05:53:27 PM: Not as much as if we get on the telly (priorities wrong somewhere), but I think its £16k if we win the 1st round proper (please correct me if I'm wrong).
