FindernRam Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 When will the match date be confirmed? I assume Man U will be one of the tv games leaving about 3 others. I would assume we may be one of them as a stand out fixture. Hope its Friday night for max recovery time to the Tuesday fixture! I bet its expensive!

RamsPolls Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think it'll be the Saturday early Kick off game. Think the BBC will try & get this game. they had the saturday early kick off and the late kick off on the sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottskentuckyram Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Probably be early kick-off Saturday by police request (televised or not), you would think it would be televised though?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Im still trying to fathom why you think man Utd versus Wigan could possibly be chosen for TV. Especially given Wigans dire recent form. Southampton/Norwich Vs Arsenal and Derby Vs Leicester surely are the ties of the round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't object to a Saturday lunch time though (apart from the fact that the cup matches spread over the whole weekend instead of all at 3pm doesn't help with the magic and traditions of the FA cup).

Keep up. 55 consecutive times in the FA cup and the most of any team since 2005 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/01/06/revealed-teams-picked-fa-cup-coverage/ Manchester United host(ed) Reading on Saturday for what will be their 55th consecutive TV appearance in the FA Cup. That the biggest corporate entity in English football are an attractive proposition for ratings-hungry broadcasters comes as little surprise, but some feel the FA Cup should be used to showcase the game's more romantic and human stories.

North East Ram Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 55 FA cup games in a row on live tv is absolutely true. That must have generated 100s of millions in extra sponsorship, advertising and tv rights by bunce. Nice little earner. Even West Ham have had about 80% of their FA cup games live on tv in that time. No media bias there. At all. In the last 10 years, the top FA cup live tv teams are something like: ManU, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Everton, West Ham and ..... Reading!

DerbyMark Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 You can just imagine the Beeb building that tie up as 'the mighty Manchester United, 9 time's winner's (or whatever it is) against the 2013 winner's Wigan Athletic' blah blah.. When really it's just about their viewing figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 There's possibly 6 ties to be televised, 1 on Friday, 2 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and 1 on Monday. I think out of 16 ties, there's a fair chance that we'll be one of those chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
