@Twizz Apologies, I didn’t realise you'd started a match day thread. I was on autopilot until I started scrolling looking for the attendance prediction.
I have taken the following from the FA website, so if you can't get down to Adams Park, you might be able to watch via VPN, provided you also have access to one of the following broadcasters.
The one I'm most hopeful for on that list is Arena Sport 2 (Bosnia & Herzegovina) - preliminary tests showed I could get a stream of that without needing to VPN to Bosnia.
The overseas TV deal has happened because FA Cup matches have been bundled with the Premier League for overseas broadcasting rights. TV companies that want to show Premier League games are now contractually obliged to show some FA cup games as well. That's why we have the ridiculous situation of less than a third of the cup games kicking off at 3pm Saturday.

You’re OK @BSE, the other thread is poetry only!

No apology needed I was just trying to kick start the process.
You've done a much better job than me anyway. Although @micra is going to have kittens about the lack of a capital P.😆
Crazy how someone is able to watch the game live from Malta but not the UK
Self sabotage from the FA there
Anyone know what crowd we're expecting tonight?
I think we may be lucky to get 3000.
Pompey have sold out their allocation I believe
shhh i've fixed it now 😂

I think 3,500 tickets have already been sold (including away sales).
Why was it moved to Friday?
assume not for TV, unless Tonga TV are particularly big Chairboys fans.
It was moved for foreign TV rights
It was moved for overseas TV. I’m sure someone in Tonga will enjoy it whilst enjoying it being 24 degrees 🥵
Foreign TV is the official line, but there was absolutely no need to move it for that. And absolute madness not to show it here.
Ah ok. It’s also being shown on ViaPlay Denmark.
they knew before anyone else.
Better than I thought then.
3500 with 1500 from Portsmouth sounds a pretty poor effort.
Obviously mitigations off a mass of home games close together, freezing cold, sort of on TV (if you really want to find it)..Friday night.
But still!
I’m having too many capital pees this weather, night and day but especially night.
The Likable Up-And-Coming Young English Managers Derby, though that's a bit of a mouthful.
Pity we are highly unlikely to see Potts.

For some reason I've never asked. Did you set your nickname after the mighty Michael Duberry?
Wonder if there's anyone who has their gasroom nickname based on a more disappointing performing player.

Good title for some American shite
Very well played!
Norman Wendoverman turned up to play in 1884 only to find the club would not exist for another three years.
For those three years, prospective fans wandered around aimlessly, saying they wished they had something they would not want to watch every week.

Almost no interest on Portsmouth forums apart from how to watch it on TV
Voice of reason Chris Sutton says we will win this on penalties after a 1-1 finish
If extra time comes, will the shuttle bus wait?
And is it from Lane End Road, or the gate?
