There was link a few pages ago to BBC Site, which confirms 8 ties will still require switching to Sunday with a 12.45 or 13.00 ko ! Lets hope that "they pull their finger out" and announce them pdq.


Presumably it's more or less a given that Salford will be one, leaving seven to be chosen from the remaining 35 ties.

Toughy there for Maydenhead vs Portillosmouth.
Will FACexit mean FACexit I wonder? Or will they negotiate a "transition period" until the following midweek?

Good to see at least a few all-non-league ties - Harrogate are on the up so they could be in with a shout of getting through th R2, and I half fancy Chorley to give Doncaster a scare too.

Wrecsam duly put paid to Harrogate 2-0 just a few hours after I posted this, so that's me confirmed as a chump. All-in on Chorley to beat Donny then

So Friday dawns and still no news from the BBC, and consequently the fans of SEVENTY TWO clubs are left in limbo, unable to finalise their plans.

This is SOOOOOOO avoidable. After the draw was made all they had to do was rank their top twelve games, and after the four for live coverage were selected nominate the top eight games from their list. They could even have announced them all together FFS ! Shambolic !

And if I could just add to your annoyance, some clubs do know their game is a Saturday 3pm k/o because they have been selected for extended highlights in BBC's FA Cup programme. Met Police v Newport being one:
