Surprised our tie isn't one of the 8 main games chosen, surely we've more chance of an upset than Crawley beating Leeds, Man U v Watford hardly sounds an exciting game to watch.

We're certain to be one of the 'other' 16 so that will bring in some extra income presumably

What happens if our game is only on BT - can we pay just for that game and if so how much will it be ?

Man Utd and Liverpool equal viewers though More parasite pathetic glory hunters in Bristol than there are Gas and 82. A diabolical state of affairs and why we are a football backwater compared to even small towns like Burnley. |

So frustrating when they show Premiership vs Premiership matches on TV in the FA Cup - surely there has to be something a bit more inspiring to put on BBC One than Arsenal vs Newcastle.

Agree the comment about Arsenal v Newcastle. What a dull sounding tie though no doubt the bbc will try to dress it up as a clash of the Titans.

Agree but they do it all the time, every year. I am sure I read somewhere once that every Man Utd FA Cup game has been live on TV over the last 10/15 years. These games obviously get the viewers though. Lots of people who don't have Sky for example, so never normally get to watch the bigger teams matches live. |

Blimey, that's a bit steep.

We've got all BT Sports via Virgin Media, and there is no BT Sport extra 4. |

The BT Sport Extra channels (1-7) are part of the "BT Sport Pack". I've only got the basic or "Lite" package that is free with BT Broadband.
It's a bit of a shame but it seems I wont be able to watch.
