Firstly, is it 1, 2 or more that make the cut between the various TV bidders?
My own predictions
1) HEREFORD v FLEETWOOD is almost guaranteed...but by whom? BT and/or Sky have the money, but the Beeb own the copyright monopoly of the Ronnie Radford clips.
2) Gien the Beeb's reluctance these days to travel far from Salford CREWE v BLACKBURN or WIGAN v curses FYLDE ('again - yawn) could be good calls.
3) Knowing their love for (that execrable phrase) Cupset - at least up to Round 3 the British Borecasting Carperation might well even consider POSH v WOKING (or, even, CARLISLE v GILLINGHAM - just for the Scottish audience)
4) Which would leave just YEOVIL v PORT VALE or OURSELVES v FGR* rattling about at the bottom of the Westcountry Cheese Barrel
(*Unless some 'bright' young intern at BBC Sport happens upon the name 'Forest Green Rovers' and wondering not only 'who' are they but, even, 'WHERE are they' and persuades his bosses (in a lightbulb moment worthy of W1A) that they must be the ultimate in 'plucky non league minnows' - although, I concede, the 'where are they' logic could also be applied to Port Vale - plus they have Wobbie Rilliams as a celeb supporter.)
So ,in conclusion, I have concluded the our odds on being selected are slightly worse that those of being struck by lightning just as I'm off to collect my lottery jackpot.
