The BBC will be looking at potential upsets but they will want a game with a high public interest.

I think they like going to the non-league grounds in recent years so the Mansfield and Notts County out.  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 am thinking more towards Friday night as the police may think that will put off some of the troublemakers.

It'll be lunchtime saturday or sunday, Sky wont want to show a conference club, as part of thier on-going snub of the league, if we are on telly, it'll be on the bbc in one of the above time slots.

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?

The BBc have only "confirmed" one live match slot on their website so far, I presume now they have the draw to hand, they will confirm some more.

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).
