TV match decided

[webmaster]

But only one so far:

The FA can confirm that the FA Cup Sixth Round tie between Southampton
and Manchester United will be played at 5.15pm on Saturday 12 March and
will be shown live on the BBC.

This follows positive discussions between The FA, the Hampshire Police,
both Clubs and the BBC.

Details of the remaining Sixth Round ties will be confirmed tomorrow
after tonight's replay between Nottingham Forest and Spurs, which will
be shown live on Sky Sports.

We could be the early Saturday match.

 

[homer]

Regardless of what happens tonight, I suspect we will be the least desirable match for the telly

Dunno which slot gets the worst audience ?

 

[SamuearlJackson]

[highland fox]

Sunday early afternoon would be my guess

 

[homer]

The early Sunday game is the beeb, though, isn't it ?

They won't want Leicester/Blackburn

 

[Scarby]

Thats good news for me as there are no trains from Blackburn at that time

 

[highland fox]

Why wouldn't they want Blackburn/Leicester ? They had Hinckley/Brentford,Thurrock/Oldham etc

they league Vs non-league they always like an upset! Plus alot more viewers would rather watch man u than leicester

 

[highland fox]

Wouldn't us beating Blackburn be an upset then :?
They showed Burnley v Blackburn

 

[homer]

No one is interested about Blackburn or Leicester, unless you actually support Blackburn or Leicester

Fourth choice game, even if Forest win tonight

 

[Scarby]

Wouldn't us beating Blackburn be an upset then :?
They showed Burnley v Blackburn

i would say so. Leicester are a much bigger and weller known than Burnley and plus it was a big local derby!

 

[highland fox]

Sadly true,we aren't exactly a Ratings winner.We will be in the early Sunday afternoon Beeb slot up against 'Murder She Wrote'

Maybe he means Keith or Paul.

Sadly Keith left us last year.

And Paul left Burnley earlier in the season.

I have just realised that means that if the dates aint gonna be confirmed till tonight. Then Blackburn are gonna have to print the tickets overnight and then deliver them to Leicester by noon. Hard work if you ask me!
