FA Cup Draw - Tonight - 7PM (6 Viewers)

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

How often is any lower league club live on the BBC? It's a shame the beeb has such a lack of decent live sport nowadays.

I don't know how old you are S.B.F but it goes back to the premier league days and before !
When it came to live FA CUP games on the BBC Cov City were never chosen .
The semi final against Leeds in 87 was on ITV and it was only when it came to final in 87 we were on the BBC !

Wasps are at home on Sat 2Dec so it looks like a Sunday game

Can I request a Friday game?

I understood there was someone in MOTD team who was not a Cov fan at all hence all the crappy games they televised

It doesn't have the feel of a decent draw at the Ricoh. If it was away to them it would be different I think.

Are you thinking of Gary Newbon at ITV / Central?

Getting through and having the chance of a big payday is more important than a dodgy away game for me.

It could be - i am in the Sisu school of facts

I heard that one as well, but also remember hearing tell in the 90s that the BBC just didn’t like us. It certainly felt that way, not sure how true it was.

Sorry if I missed it, but when is the date and TV coverage (if any) confirmed for the Boreham Wood game?

BBC said today they are showing AFC Fylde v Wigan (ffs)

 

[ceetee]

That's probably because there is a bigger difference in league position.

Says it all , about the BBC !!!

Never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Nick. Us at home to Boreham Wood doesn't reek of possible cup upset, and so will have very limited interest for a TV audience. A probable Sunday attendance of ~4k will prove them right. Us away at Boreham Wood would have gotten the TV company's juices flowing and would have lead to squeaky bum time for all on here. To be truthful, the only attractive TV games are Fylde v Wigan and Gateshead v Luton. And while Flyde v Wigan does nothing for me, Gateshead v Luton might peek my interest.

Boreham wood pulled off a shock by beating Blackpool from Div 1, who's to say thay can't do it again !
So much for the glamour of the FA CUP .

IF Boreham Wood were to win at the Ricoh , surely that would be a bigger shock then if they were at home !!!
The glamour of the FA CUP , yeah right !!!
