Hereford v Leeds 7.45pm on Friday(How much is the police bill is going to be for this one?)
Torquay v Yeovil 3.15pm on Sunday on the BBC.
No TV money for us then.

bollocks
-
Never mind, there's always Round 2 ;D
-
At least this could boost the attendance by a couple of hundred people who may have stayed away and watched it on tv
-
Torquay v Yeovil what the hells good about that. :-[
lets hope we get highlights
-
Think it is known as a west country derby. Hence the interest.

yes thats far more interesting than beaten finalists who are one of the biggest teams in the draw vs FA Cup Giant killers who have knocked out more league teams than any other non league side (even if the bbc think thats still yeovil)
-
Torquay are on Setanta every bloody week
-
Got to be a shoo in for MOTD highlights though, shirley?
-
extended highlights would pay quite well
-
We have to realise that the BBC will cater for what they consider the general public will be interested in.
They have two good games which will no doubt generate a good level of interest.
I am sure there schedulers know what they are doing.

Will sky be showing a cup game?

it says on the website that they are showing a friday night game TBC

Hope we get the sky game, looking at the fixtures that are left I think we have a chance. Otherwise gutted we wont get the big tv money this round. We just have to enjoy the day and hope we do what we're famous for!!
We'd surely get some coverage if we made it to round 2!
-
I know I'm biased and would like our game to have been shown on tv but I really don't see how the Torwuay v Yeovil fixture is exciting to anybody outside the south west of England. I certainly have no interest in watching it and it annoys me that Torquay are being given another 75,000 to throw on top of their Setanta stash. Either our game or Havant & Waterlooville v Swansea would have had far more widespread public interest in my opinion.

If I've got it correct mate Yeovil have knocked out one more league club as a non league side, of the current non league sides we have the most "scalps"
I'm sure a "Statto" out there will confirm if I have this correct.

Hereford v Leeds is the Sky match on the Friday night.

not according to the giant killers dvd i saw (made after yeovil were a league side might i add ;D)

I'll spend the afternoon on Gooooooogle and see what I can find!! ;D

I will not be watching any of those cup games bastard BBC

thought you had a proper job where you didn't have time to google? get the blonde girl to do it ;D

Thought they would have shown 2 games on bbc and 2 on sky. Shame.
Yeovil have indeed a better record than us for giant killing, but they kindly got promoted and we got our crown back. Still, I cant see how this is a bigger game than ours. Garth Crooks was raving about the alty match, wish the producers had listened to him.

In fairness Teasy, whilst this would have been good for us this time round, I think urging anyone to ]listen to Garth Crooks opinion has to be recognised as a recipe for disaster in the long term and should be discouraged really. :-X
-
I reckon Garth Brooks would have been a better opinion to listen to !!

Very true, normally i wouldnt touch the bloke, but when he mentioned alty i was smitten. Im coming to my senses now and realise that it was probably him picking it out that made them pick torquay!
-
I thought the two games chosen would just about shade it for the live games. Shame they're only showing one on each channel because either Alty v Millwall or Billericay v Swansea would probably be the choice for another game. Still i suppose we've got to be in with more than a good chance of extended highlights on match of the day. I wonder if our home record this season went against us when they were deciding who to put on live? I know we've got a fantastic giant killing history but one win at home against a team who haven't won away all season may have just swung it the other way.
-
I take no joy in being right, but I said the BBC would stay down south.
Being a commercial TV station, I can understand why Sky went for the Hereford v Leeds game (if that is the case)
-
last year bbc
forest vs Sailsbury
they always like a big league club with history vs a small club.
perhaps we are too big a club to be showed on tv ::)
I'm getting tired of seeing Torquay on tv, they are on more than Liverpool..
-
I'm with a number of other posters who feel that Torquay-Yeovil is a rather odd choice. Derby or otherwise, it's just not a game that's going to get a lot of people interested. For one thing, Yeovil will stroll it and secondly, outside that particular region I can't see it capturing people's imagination.
Obviously, the Hereford-Leeds game is another matter.
-
Normally the bbc show 3 games over the FA Cup weekend. They normally have a game on Saturday at lunch, then on Sunday a Lunch Kick off and then one at 3pm. So i dont no why they have changed that this year. They had Tamworth V's Norwich and Vics on the beeb last year, whats going on this season?
Its a joke Torquay getting the game surrly they will have made over half a milllion so far this season in tv coverage. I though Oxford got shown too many times last year but oviously wrong.
If we got a replay then they would put our game on the Box, but we dont want a replay we want to win fair and square at Moss Lane.
-
Firstly Yeovil (when non-league) did knock out one more league club out of the FA Cup than we have so far - but we are (therefore) the current leading non league club with victories over league sides (as a non league club)
Secondly Torquay - Yeovil is no more a local derby than Kendal v Altrincham was - its just theres not much going on down south west!
-
it really does'nt surprise me,in most of the fa cup articals written about the draw we were always 3rd or 4th mentioned which is strange ???

To be honest I don't think they show 3 games for FA Cup 1st/2nd round weekends. They do for the 3rd like with Tamworth but irc last years first round the only game bbc showed was Chasetown v Oldham, think Sky may have shown more than one. Some games do take place at odd times, i.e. Sat midday, Sunday but aren't necessarilly on tv.
-
Maybe 10 years ago we would have been the tie of the round. In terms of getting people to watch, which is what it is all about a tie between the 4th bottom of the BSP and a struggling Nationwide team is hardly a crowd puller.
The Torquay game will be billed as a big west country derby between a rising former leage club and a "local" rival who are now in the football league.
Like I have said before I am sure the schedulers know what they are doing.
We should just get on with it and not miss what we never had i.e. television revenue.
-
Last year the BBC did 2 live games on the first two rounds, so there a reduction this year, maybe its because the BBC/Sky have lost the contract
to Setanta>itv.
-
I have written to the BBc telling them they made a mistake by not picking Altrincham v Millwall and also to tell them i will not be watching Torquay.
Living in the South west torquay yeovil IS classes as a derby game yeovil suddenly became a team covered by both tv comanaies in devon and cornwall.
