Hi all!
As you know, WTV will have just an audio feed on Saturday. Going on last year’s details, we will have highlights of the game at 12 pm on Sunday* and a full match replay by Thursday.
*Just looked over the rules again, all highlight footage is 12pm on Sunday

Thanks @Twizz. Might be tempted to cock a brief snook at Luton v Forest Green in the hope of witnessing an unexpected upset !
Plymouth had sold 800+ yesterday but 6.5k seems a little on the high side, even allowing for some feel-good factor, the appearance of cup run legends, and discounted pricing. I’d love for that number to be accurate but I’ll go for a more conservative 3,600.
Many thanks Luke. Certainly hope so.
The road to Wembley begins….
It would be rather ridiculous if every man and woman from the Chiltern hills didn’t attend a first round FA Cup game
The most important game of our season so far
Fixed that for you:
The least important game of our season so far.
That’s a pretty odd comment when we’ve had a couple of lower league pizza cup games played out in front of about 500 people.
Back then, we needed the pizza cup to get confidence, minutes, goals, a win, anything to cling onto to try and improve our season
The FA Cup is just an unwanted distraction for what is far more important now with what Duff is building.
Only positive is, it’s a free hit to give fringe players a chance to show what they have
Plenty of nostalgia for us in the cup, I was there for the entire 00/01 run, even being interviewed for the Liverpool game, but every year it seems less and less important to more and more clubs. Shame. But, reality and seeing as it’s gone to the highest bidder, the FA/TNT/BBC know as well.
Disagree with some of that personally. I still love the FA Cup, especially the early rounds. And I still think it’s a very important and prestigious competition for us. Obviously a lot going on at the time we reached the Fourth Round last season and that overshadowed what was a great achievement. I think there’s a subconscious (conscious) obsession (expectation) of reaching the Championship which has perhaps made us feel a bit blase towards the FA Cup. I hope there’s enough there tomorrow to give the heroes of yesterday a good reception.
Delete your account. In fact, delete the entire internet.
I thought greedy tv companies were killing football by showing traditional 3pm kick offs but now ‘Why can’t I get an FA cup ticket?’ has become ‘Why can’t I stream the game?’
I keep missing these meetings.
Getting to mid-table in L1 will never be as good as an FA Cup run.
Distraction it may be…but unwelcome? Not for me.
Unless of course you think we’re off to the Championship where we belong?
The Duff revolution will be no re-run brothers,
The Duff revolution will be live.
Or different people think different things
The revolution will not be brought to you on Mike Dodds’ iPad
The revolution will not be narrated by Phil Catchpole
There will be no pictures of a Garath McCleary trivela on the instant replay
Yes, but we have a realistic chance of getting to Wembley, and winning a trophy in the pizza cup, whereas the FA Cup semis and final will almost certainly be contested by PL teams.
That’s what people said in 2000/01.
If anyone finds a stream I’d appreciate a DM please!
