This would make people's minds up...when we get an injured Manu at Old Trafford in the third round, you need a ticket stub from Morecambe
(Or whoever) 'if Wycombe progress to the third round of the FA Cup, ticket holders from the Morecambe game will have priority after season ticket holders'
Absolutely. Lots of people in the Frank Adams would never dream of trying to get a ticket in the stand opposite for a Cup match if the FA was closed.
On a similar theme, why on earth did we open the away end for 94 Palace fans in the no-longer-Pizza Cup the other week, whilst keeping the home terrace closed?
The Charlton - Cray Valley game was the ultimate example of why you shouldn't play your reserve team against lesser opponents, even if they are five levels lower. All eleven players were changed and bringing on 'big guns' late on was too late. Well done the Millers and their 2,000 fans.
The BBC had main rights previously with BT Sport and did the cluster of games on a Sun afternoon with goal clips etc.
The current deal is BBC/ITV, which is great as it’s all free to air for the first time in years. ITV do the majority of the games though, so it’s put paid to the Sun afternoon cluster of games on BBC.
BBC normally do the Fri evening game and 1/2 others.
Think she was struggling to find "glamorous" or notable games. Beyond Wimbledon v Ramsgate and The paper mills chaps it just doesn't provide much in the way of headlines, sure there will be good ties but that's a bit difficult to predict where.
Sky / BBC likely just to revert to their Salford and Wrexham fetishes.

We opened all four sides for Hartlepool a couple of years ago and got less than 2k.
Think that may have made some minds up around closing stands.
Oh no, really hope they don't close a stand. That always reduces a game to minor doesn't it?
At least Sutton was a midweeker, hopefully won't do the same thing for a a weekend.
At the same time, closing stands will make minds up whether to go or not
A four sided stadium, a novelty Oxford can only dream of
No. Derek would use that to motivate his troops
"This lot think they're already through" etc

That was a midweek replay though.
Sometimes we struggle to get much more than 3K for a midweek League match at home, let alone a Cup game.
Glad you pointed this out. It seems there's no precedent for shutting the Frank Adams for a Saturday game then?
Hope it stays that way.

The presenter on the draw seemed to think Wycombe v Morecambe would "be a good one".
Do we think it'll be a tv move job? Albeit it more likely to be on the Sunday set of games than a full live tv pick?
Absolutely not. No attraction for the neutral.
Looks like they might have changed their policy too.
Only 5 Sunday games today, at least 2 of them proper live games.
Didn't they used to include more Sunday games for that round the grounds bit?
We shut it for the Walsall FA cup game last year.
Had to shift to the Family stand.
Ah that's less good then.
I've obviously expunged that from my memory.
Surely they could market it as the Combe v Cambe derby?
Why come? More come?

Hope we get them in the third round
Brilliant result for them

Surely Wrexham v Yeovil can't make it on TV.
They'll be a cert to be on tele for the 3rd though.
Spot on. They mentioned quizzing Appleton before the game about whether it was a mistake and he said "we'll see".
Narrator: "We saw."
Eastleigh v Reading is a dead cert for telly, maybe Alfreton v Walsall too
Scott Davies in with a shout of goal of the First Round after his superb freekick.
Some absolutely cracking goals here.

Coincidentally that's my tinder profile
Based on past comments, I estimate your tinder profile to be roughly the same word count as Lord of the Rings.
@Shev way out. But hopefully the Lady of Galadrial will save me
There's a dirty joke to be made here
Flum?
