It occurred to me during my hours of insomnia, as these things often do, that in spite of me more or less saying the same thing as you, the logical conclusion of that argument is that the first game to be screened would be whoever Man City are playing. Hence I now think that the only real conclusion is that there's a massive conspiracy against us that involves Sky, the FA, Jon Moss, the WEF & a whole host of others Not hopeful Town will be picked today when tv games for Jan 13-Feb 3 are released......includes QPR (a) & Wendies (h) so maybe? QPR is 4th round day so I’d guess cup ties will get priority.

I'm amazed anyone wants to watch this! It was like torture playing them when we were good! The record defeat is always front and centre of my mind as we face after of attacks! I'll be walking the dog!

I'll be walking the dog! Ok we'll probably get hammered but its against the European champions and a lot of those teams in the 3rd rd draw would have liked the draw we've got, we're not going to win it anyway, it'll be a case of 'hold onto yer hats' but so what, we might put up some resistance and only lose three or four nil.

That's where I'm usually at but we can't get more than 30 percent possession Vs bottom half champ teams! I can only see a rout, doesn't help they're in bad form either. The last thing we need is an angry man city out to right some wrongs and rebuild their confidence!

Fantastic draw. Just what the doctor ordered. Have Town ever played the European Champions? I certainly cannot remember a time when we did. Also we should get something like 8,000 tickets which means a sizable and noisy Blue and White contingent in Manchester. I personally want it to kick off at 3 pm on Saturday, I cannot stand any other time for football, call me traditional or other words beginning with T but that is the only time for a football match in the UK.
Will Town win? Probably not, but who cares? We never progress in the cup competitions anyway. At least it is a game where anything under a thrashing will be seen as an achievement. It is hardly losing big at nonentities like Cardiff, Birmingham and Leeds. When did they win the European Cup?

All other games still had to be scheduled, and thanks to overseas TV you now regularly get multiple 12.30pm/5.30pm/Sunday 2pm non TV fa cup games (eg us away to Burnley was 12.30pm but not on TV). In other words there's a very reasonable chance it would've been Sunday 2pm regardless. Out of the 32 ties, you might get maybe 8 of them at 3pm Saturday. Been the same for a few years

Bristol City have had cup tie away at West Ham moved to same time as Town/City.....They have received allocation of 8,924, probably less than a thousand will make the trip tomorrow, with NO pay on the day.

He was sold the year before... I must admit I wasn't certain I'd got the date right. I think the floodlights used for the Wolves replay were the first time the 'Denis Law lights' were used...

Been the same for a few years And that’s why I no longer have the same love for the game. Football for me is 3:00pm Saturday afternoon. Fuck Sundays. Fuck 2pm 5pm 12:30. There’s no good why we aren’t playing Saturday at 3

Knew it would be on a Sunday, said it up thread. There seems to be a lot of FA Cup games moved to Sunday no matter what round.

As long has the trains are running, the pubs will be less crowded compared to a Saturday. Let's take it over & have a day out.

It isn't a main TV game. It just able to view on IPlayer. Or channel 601 (aka BBC RB) on freeview.......We still get the tv money don't we? I've been trying to work out what we actually do stand to gain from this...but it's not all that easy. I might be way off on this, but it looks like:
No prize money unless the MCFC under 10s are not as good as we think. Or if they decide Haaland doesn't need new bootlaces this week & donate us the £105K.
£100K TV money if it is being treated as a live broadcast. If not...maybe nothing. 45% of the gate money. It's hard to predict what the attendance might be but maybe 45-50K?
Plus any other internal marketing stuff we manage to knock together. So maybe 3 shillings & sixpence on top.
My best guess is in the region of £0.5m which in our situation isn't to be sneezed at. Like I say though, just guessing at most of this.
A sobering thought as well, probably mentioned elsewhere, is that the first goal they conceded last season in the cup was half an hour into the final, by which time they'd managed to score 18 times themselves
