FA Cup Round 2

[jacobncfc]

That West Ham vs Leeds match is a farcical choice. The Kidderminster and Yeovil games are much more interesting.

3pm Saturday then. Lovely

(Hull v Everton tho lol)

 

[Stocky]

Some of those picks over a couple of the non league sides are a disgrace to be honest.

won't a load of games be moved for a BBC final score thing? on the Sunday?
terrible choices there - just going for the viewing figures as usual.

 

[Wooderson]

Horrendous that.

if our match isn't on telly and we don't get saturday 3pm then that's a right old shafting

 

[Harrier94]

United, Everton, Villa, West Ham and Leeds I'm sure desperately needed that 85k.

Where's the magic of the cup that they always go on about.

Msot prem teams will probably put out the U23's as well

That's what happened to us on Sunday. 4pm kick off and not on TV

 

[SuperHans]

What an absolute joke. All 4 non league clubs over lookedView attachment 16070

Disgrace, only 40,000 people will be able to watch us hammer Chelsea in their own back yard now.

Viewing figures is what it should be based on. That being said, surely more people would be interested in Chelsea v Chesterfield than Hull v Everton or Leeds v West Ham.

Glad Millwall v Palace is on though. That's the main one I wanted to watch.

They pick games like Leeds vs West Ham because it’s kind of like a PL game and they don’t have the rights for them normally. Will probably get the viewing figures as well.

It’s a rubbish pick though, and the Hull game isn’t much better. I don’t think Chesterfield were ever likely to be on - those games when the big team is at home rarely are because nineteen times out of twenty they just aren’t any kind of spectacle, but the games at Yeovil and Kidderminster have enough shock potential to have been good picks.

Yeovil in particular, bit of a local one that. That definitely should've been on.

Those games like Chesterfield do usually get on when the opponent is a Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal. Remember Havant & Waterlooville? No point mentioning United as they're always on.

I have no idea why I can remember this, but I don’t think that Havant game was on proper tele. Remember them scoring and seeing it on Soccer Saturday for some bizarre reason. Probably cos they’d knocked us out earlier on.

That Bradford one at Chelsea when Jon Stead went postal and knocked them out wasn’t either.

It’s about advertising revenue, when Chelski go 3 up in 15 mins the half time ad’s become pointless.

 

[spireite]

It's really pants that it's not on telly. I don't think I'm going to be able to get it off work either, balls

 

[jacobncfc]

There’s a lot riding on Covid over the next few weeks for you lot suddenly isn’t there? Fucking hope not, but could easily see the clowns running the show having us back behind closed doors.

Yea it's a worry int it, what can you do. In any case it's extra money we weren't expecting, but it'll be pretty rubbish if its no fans again all of a sudden. Hopefully in that case they might at least stream it and get a bit of money that way

*10,000.

Or possibly zero.

 

[Super_horns]

Some games can be moved for overseas broadcast but I agree most of those picked are just for chasing ratings and Millwall v Palace as it’s a Derby game .

Yes you are right on both accounts .

Chelsea v Luton was last season though.

What do you mean when? Chesterfield win all day.

 

[EnglishRed]

Well that's because Chelsea haven't got a pulse.

Can see palace hammering them 4-0

 

[Carsonsuckscock]

They'll be kicking themselves when we turn Chelski over.

 

[Super_horns]

Only 10 games at 3pm on the Saturday.

We remain at 3pm but have been chosen for extended highlights

They will be ok, if by then everything is behind closed doors again the fans can all just turn up and say that it is a belated Christmas party as Christmas parties in London are not breaking any rules apparently.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Oh well the extra £32500 will be welcome but the 5.30 ko is strange.
