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
It's on telly and they are in the Premier League and they are not that bothered so about 2000 in upper Witton Lane I think.

Or just call the ref a ginger c**t and take an early bath
No that won't work as I have heard the ref at that match is going to be a Mr Singh!
I reckon silhill's advice will be even more effective then!

Not so fantastic - thinking about how we'll reach the FA Cup final and I won't be able to get a ticket...
Pay me £20 and I will get you a ticket stub....can't say fairer than that?

Real shame this is a 12.30 KO. Was hoping for a packed ground and good atmosphere to provide some relief from the slog of the league.

I reckon he's donned some mittens to stop him from typing a response!

So Bradford produce one of the biggest cup shocks in Cup history, draw (potentially) a Premier League side at home, then get totally ignored by the BBC after they gushed all over them on Saturday night. Wankers.

I'm amazed they've ignored Bradford but gone for us and the Bitters.

I will piss myself laughing if they get stuck with Palace v Bolton and Preston v Cambridge.

It's all about audience numbers and TV will have more watching the selected matched than Bradford v Fulham.

I am delighted the game will be on telly. Means I get to watch it over here. I was pleasantly surprised the Bournemouth game was shown.

I reckon more neutrals/armchair fans would want to watch Bradford than us v Leicester. Or Bitters v West Ham.

First train from Leicester doesn't get into Brum until around mid-day on the Sunday.

That it will be hard for Leicester fans to get the train to the game?
