6pm Saturday? Well jealous.

We've got shafted shifted to the Sunday for the substantial international audience.

Whereas it’s obviously tongue in cheek, wigan at home at 6pm on a saturday is nothing to be jealous of.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I hope we do a Man Utd next season and abstain. Half of Mansfield and Wigan aren’t arsed about this game let alone the lovely people of Mozambique

Funny thing is the teams they will care about are on the BBC and ITV.

Same here. Can't see many tuning in to see us getting bummed by Ipswich

 

[Stocky]

We allow ourselves to get royally fucked over in this country, The FA Cup is a microcosm of this but it's an example. The state of some of those FA Cup kick off times to try and please international viewers who only really give a fuck about Arsenal vs Man United anyway.

Not TIC at all; more time for people to do parent stuff during the day, more pub time for others... as long as it doesn't ruin travel for visiting fans then 6pm on a Saturday sounds great. Don't care if it's against Man Utd or Brackley.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

I had people today saying "fuck Peterborough" for their game being moved to Thursday night, a microcosm of the problem in this country, we roll over and don't stand up for ourselves nor stand together when others get fucked over, it's why our ticket prices are so high and our kickoff times so terrible.

The FA Cup has been butchered beyond repair now. Sad state of affairs when our own traditions/country have been ruined to suit foreigners for a bit of cash, screwing over the 600 + strong teams that play every year for Man City players not to have an extra game to save embarrassment if they were in the 3rd round, but would be happy for another game in Saudi. Fuck off.

It lost all credibility for me when they started having the semi finals at Wembley rather than a neutral club ground.
Used to love the old days when they would show live feeds of the team coaches going to the stadium for the final.
I cant remember the last time I watched a final in recent years, when it used to be a family event

How about a rule that no all-PL ties are shown on TV? Screw the fact that people in Chicago or Mumbai only want to see United or Liverpool, let them see some proper sides

 

[SF_]

All TV money should just be split evenly between every team from the 1st round onwards. Zero issues then. Just enjoy drawing a big team for what it is, rather than thinking about the payday.

Suppose they can watch a whole load of games on an overseas channel hence games being moved around so much.

Just so happens the biggest tie of the round is on BBC and then rather predictably ITV have one .

The biggest tie of the round is Tamworth v Spurs. Arsenal v Man U is not that

 

[Conker]

It is in terms of interest. We may not like it but the biggest club in the country against the 3rd biggest is always going to take precedence.
