Derby v man utd will be uniteds 50th consecutive live tv fa cup match in the 4th round even though there are more attractive tv matches imo

[JonB]

For once I think it is worthy of tv and not sure what others are better from a quick glance down the list. It's got all the potential for United getting turned over.

TV ratings have a lot to answer for.

Cracking match and definitely should be on TV glancing down the ties. If Derby play a strong side they have every chance.

No need to watch it.
It will be 1-0 to Utd with either a disputed offside goal or a penalty (late on )
Rooney will get Man Of The Match even if he does not play.

Just like to say I saw the last FA CUP match between Derby and Manchester Utd at the Baseball Ground on 22nd January 1966. Derby 2 Manchester Utd 5 Goals: Law 2, Best 2, Herd.

Manchester Utd team that day. Gregg, Foulkes, Dunne, Cantwell, Stiles, Crerand, Aston, Best, Charlton, Herd, Law.

33,827

We had to go twice. First time to buy a ticket (we bunked off school.)

That one's for Keith.

That must have been a sell-out with the capacity as it was before the stand was built over the 'pop' side. That made the Baseball Ground one of very few grounds with standing and terracing on all four sides of the ground.

It was a crap ground but the atmosphere on the Pop side was great.

5.30pm Saturday Jan 30th

BT Sport

Exeter City v West Ham United match selected


It should also be noted that the previous Saturday WHU v Man City is the Saturday evening TV Fare ...May be of interest to any Millwall fans who fancy watching a game before the train leaves ?

I think the record attendance for the Baseball ground was just over 41,000 v Spurs in the 69/70 season

That would be with the new stand built over the pop-side

Absolute nonsense! Or are they expecting Derby to win?

Team going well at top of the championship against a stuttering Man U...no brainer it would be on tv.

Nailed on arguably. Tie of the round and Derby have a chance of beating them.

Agree, it's a good choice, and with the vultures circling around LVG the media are waiting to pounce on a possible shock result.

Surely they will play their strongest side possible. I hope Man U win it, I fell out with Derby after their fans' moronic taunting during our cup game last season.

Most popular team in the country is on telly the most, don't see an issue with it.
