.....I most detest in the world (except Sheffield Wednesday) are providing a non-spectacle for the TV punter. What was wrong with Eastleigh v Bolton instead of this pile of cr!p. Only time I ever want the Wan*y Mancs to win a football match.

I agree Having watched the Eastleigh v Bolton match on a gluepot of a pitch that is what the FA Cup is all about

But the TV companies especially BT of course only think about maximising profit from the advertising companies with the supposodly bigger audiences to watch the bigger teams

The tv companies never seem to realise that the bigger teams do not always provide the matches the audiences want to see

I never watch a Blunts match on tv anyway watching Hearts v Aberdeen instead

Do you want to bet that even if they draw Colchester at home it will not be live?

If its Colchester away they will be setting up the cameras on Tuesday morning
