I didn't expect us to be. Not sure why anyone thought we might tbf. Generally speaking, to get TV time in any cup comp, you have to be either A) a game of interest or B) the lower league team at home. We're neither.
Haven't seen who's on TV yet but when I saw the fixtures my money for TV games were Blues v Utd, Wigan v City and maybe Chelsea v Hull or Sheff Weds v Swansea.
Am I anywhere near?

Could the decision be based on the Sheff United home game debacle last season?

While I am more than happy for it not to be on tv, those fixtures they have chosen are awful.

Chelsea at home to Hull is the least appealing game of football I think I have seen.

Only 3 games not on tv and it's the Lowe ranked team against a premiership team chance of an upset and we still couldn't get on tv I was hoping for Sunday afternoon kick off.

Odd that they choose Sheff Weds v (probably) Swansea over the chance of us upsetting BHA. Clearly going where they think the most likely 'shock' is, but not the best story, which is how you think they choose who goes on.

And that is the thing that really pisses me off but the rich teams just keep getting fucking richer.

That's why Man U are so rich, they are on the telly nearly every week

The plastic fans and overseas fans don't want to watch Coventry, they want to watch the top 5 or 6 in the Premier League - simple as that

I agree, but there's enough armchair Chelsea fans to ensure it's worth screening.
