I'd say our game is probably 7th most likely to be televised. Derby/Reading being 8th.

Wrong: http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~4446666,00.html



Does seem odd that they've picked our game, not the most exciting tie is it?

No, but they have no imagination and 3 of those have picked are (if Liverpool win the replay) all Premier league ties.

Worst possible kick off time for those who play Sunday mornings.  Bloody Lineker and his set of BBC bastards.

You'll have been substituted with plenty of time to get to VP

Indeed.  Save me a pie.  Oops no chance of that!

Really surprised they've chosen us, I wouldn't have! And pissed off as it will affect attendance and atmosphere. Telly wankers.

12.30 Sunday. What a ludicrous kick off time. Too early to have lunch beforehand, no time to read the Sundays let alone finish the crosswords. Expecting a really low attendance and consequently crap atmosphere for this one.

Club will have to be sensible and offer low ticket prices again considering we have home league games Saturday before and after. I was definitely going now not so sure. Bizarre choice of TV game tbh.

A bit selfish, but for once this suits me, as I am with @21 of my R-Y4 footballers at the Banks's Stadium on Saturday 14th all day for the Matchday Experience of Walsall v Port Vale. Wouldn't be able to go, otherwise. Lower Holte again, Ped?

Now it's on TV i'd expect it to be the same prices as the previous rounds.

Which would be fair. I imagine Leicester will bring the full 6k so should be a decent attendance and atmosphere

Not convinced they'd bring 6K, especially with the time and being on TV. And they didn't sell out for the league game at VP.

Wouldn't the league tickets have been £37 though ? £20 for an FA cup 5th round is decent value

No that won't work as I have heard the ref at that match is going to be a Mr Singh!

On TV - fantastic! It's great for those of us who gave up their season ticket this season after years of hardship.

Not so fantastic - thinking about how we'll reach the FA Cup final and I won't be able to get a ticket...oh well, tough shit I suppose (ha! as if I'm even contemplating us getting to an FA Cup final (still, the thought does linger at the back of my mind (but surely not (but what if? (but it won't (but it might...)))))).

Overkill on the brackets there.
