TOPIC: FA Cup 2nd Rd TV Games

I'll go for...

Fri - Grimsby v Shrewsbury
Sun - Salford v Hartlepool
Mon - Welling v Carlisle

Only 3 Non-League at Home to League ties in the draw...

Any other Non-League to be on that Sunday Show...

Would take that, just because we'd be in the third round draw.

Salford have been on this year and Hartlepool last year so would like to think we were in with a chance.

Unless FC United can pull off a miracle this second half.

Also it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they'll show a league team at home to a non league team. Hartlepool V Blyth was live on BBC last season.

Salford v Hartlepool is nailed on to be on telly. Not much chance but I wouldn't mind watching Rochdale v Bury

Friday Salford v Hartlepool
Saturday George Best documentary
Sunday Replay of Salford v Hartlepool shown 'as live' in case you missed it.
Monday - Interview with Sir Alex
Tuesday - Celebrity edition of Pointless with Giggsy and Schmeichel

I wouldn't be surprised if Dagenham/Morecambe v Whitehawk is on.

We'll see.

The BT Sport studio is in East London (as is Welling) if that still matters anymore, I know it's one of the reasons Brentford are on Sky all the time.

Brentford are on Sky because the BT Studio is in East London?!

Sky do it to piss BT off. Charlton and Millwall are never off BT sport

Welling is in Kent.

Totally agree with both of these points; a 'blood and thunder' local derby to get to round three would be a great watch. They [TV exectutives] like the whole none league 'narrative' thing at this stage though, that's the supposed magic of the FA Cup.

Wrong, Welling Utd are in the Borough of Bexley, Greater London. As is the town.


Welling is however in the Historic County of Kent, ie. it was Kent up until 1898. (117 years ago)

Would much prefer a weekend kick-off for our trip to Welling.

If we do end up on the tele, surely a perfect opportunity for a bit of 'John Nixon is a lying tw@t' sort of stuff?

I'm going for

Friday: Grimsby v Shrewsbury
Sunday: Salford v Hartlepool
Monday: Dagenham/Morecambe v Whitehawk

More league places or divisions separating the teams in these ties than ours.

Can they really justify showing Salford City again?

What about the other 39 teams in the draw? Do they not deserve a chance?

It's not about justification, it's about viewing figures. Salford give them that with the CO92 crack. Very surprised if they don't feature...

Can just see Paynter notching a hat-trick and Gary Neville bursting the bank to sign him...

The BBC are currently getting plenty of grief from Government for being lavishly funded from a licence fee (that we have no choice but to pay) and chasing audience like the commercial stations do, hardly fair competition. The BBC is meant to be a public service broadcaster, they should show a different non-league team.

I reckon It'll be Grimsby on BBC on the Friday, while BT Sport will show us on the Sunday and Salford on the Monday

If we are TV, I'd prefer Mon Night to Sun Midday, and I'm not a fan of Mon Night Football!

Someone on the welling forum suggested that Northampton v Borehamwood/Northwich might be chosen because they fancy chucking some money in Northamptons direction

Think Northwich are the lowest ranked team in the draw as well.

You mean to tell me that there another 39 teams in the draw?

Honestly, I'd never have known. Salford,Salford,Salford fkoff already.

surely they'll be able to trot out the 'well travelled Carlisle fans blah blah blah' every now and again. thats got to be worth getting on the telly for?

Seen some Grimsby fans on way to Barrow on train today like, must have been staying over - fair journey that.

I was thinking that.

I would like to see them get thraped big time because the BBC are drooling over them and it makes me sick.

If you didn't already hate Manchester United then Salford FC is a good place to start.

Can i hate FC United as well please?

What's to hate about Salford FC?

That they've been turned into another version of c****c nation by their [censored] owners?

They aren't that bad, are they? I haven't got enough hate left to go around at the minute after our owners, the [censored] who nicked my car aerial and Topsy & Tim's dad (the w@nker)!

Trouble picking up freeview?
Aerial for sale - £20

Surely the owners are the ones to dislike really? I thought the club came across really well in the class of 92 programme, and by club I basically mean the volunteers that were covered, the women that's been flipping burgers for 26 years, the fella that does the building work etc. A lot of professional clubs could learn alot about community engagement from them, and a lot of none league clubs I guess.

Mashie Niblick wrote:
Topsy and Tim's parents are unbelievably smug but 'hate' is a bit strong isn't it?

The 2 things that grate about the whole Salford circus. First, we have Man Utd and the other big 3 or so shoved down our throats at the expense of everyone else all year. FA Cup Rds 1 & 2 used to be a break from that but they've managed to make it all about Man Utd after all. Secondly, the whole premier league, tv, pundits, golf circle merry go round seems to be a bit of an exclusive closed shop and it does lookalike the tv members of the clique looking after their "mates". If Salford are on again, with all the other non-league sides in it, it will be a disgrace. I just wonder whether they'll play really safe with Peterborough v Luton.

Surely were in with a great chance of been on,Salford will on 1 of the channels,Grimsby Shrewsbury sounds like a league game still,I think well be on the Sunday afternoon game !

Think we'll be on the Sunday, not live but as part of that BBC goals updates show they do.

Anyone know when they're announcing them?

Want to book trains!

Do they tend to announce the live games before the replays are done or do they wait?

crunchblue wrote:
Think it's before? As Clubs have Tix to sell etc...

2 and a half weeks between replays and 2nd round though...

It would be a pain in the arse if they did wait until then, because likewise I want to sort out my travel/time off work if needed etc asap.

@SamElliott_NLP: Live FA Cup second rd games: Salford City v Hartlepool (Fri) Rochdale v Bury (Sunday) & Grimsby v Shrewsbury (Monday) £72,000 for each club

Hartlepool Utd have announced their game at Salford city has been chosen for tv.

Excuse my French here Deano but Bbc please [censored] off sucking cocks of the class of 92. Already watched them lot in the first round, wouldn't it be nicer for a different non league club to get the tv money? Salford don't exactly need the cash, they've got flipping millionaires running them

Why? We'll prob be playing 3pm sunday now. Hopefully not though

Rochdale v bury. A derby nobody cares about outside of them clubs. Why give the cash to a league club? Give it non league (not welling, I hate Carlisle playing on tv!)

My suspicion is they've chosen that one because they can smell blood....looking at the last round I'd agree, the chimp chokers should be rightly a bit worried about that one.

why not Saturday 3pm and is a Sunday 3pm worse than a Friday or Monday night?

Sun games are 2pm. No chance by train from up here...

We could still land the Sat 3pm Foreign Broadcast slot...
