there's only one reason why they've chosen to put it live on telly.

And it's not because the schedulers expect Villa to win

Yep, i'm pretty sure they're expecting an upset that day

Peterborough United v Sunderland (3.30pm) – Live on ITV1
The draw for the Fourth Round Proper will follow this tie at approx 5.30pm on ITV1

We can only hope that we will still need that information by that time.  I mean, who wants to see Man Utd v Bristol Rovers in a 4th round tie, anyway?!

Judging by Saturday's game I think for once we have more chance of making it to the 4th Round than Man Utd. Citeh should stuff them.

Those schedulers have clearly not been paying attention to how shit Rovers have been this season. One impressive performance against a non-league team does not make the Barcelona.

I notice that TV  have picked us rather than Spurs or Everton for the possible giant killing!

When do tickets go on sale? No ticket news on website but it has it as a "buy tickets" option but the crappy site won't let me log on.

From my brief but ultimately unsatisfactory flirtation with BT Vision, it was also possible to watch ESPN with them, so it's not just Sky Sports subscribers who watch ESPN.

As a semi-professional cynic, I'm guessing only Sky can tell you how many of their subcribers also have ESPN, and a lot depends on how Sky want to present the figures.

The eTicketing of the Rovers game is a mess at the moment. It currently says that you only need a Booking History to buy tickets. There's no way that that can be correct.

Its looks like they wanted to get the game set up on the system but then abandoned the plan part way through.
