We were going great guns until they deliberately knobbled, was it Rogers, on the wing?

Anyways, today's match! 
Not sure if I'll be watching yet. Would be great to get a a result today. Winners of this tie will be ball 69 in the draw for the next round.

The fa website says it’s £34k prize money for second round winners which would be very helpful for the club, does anyone know if part of that is going to each losing team like in the first round?
consider 3rd round a decent cup run, but would really love to see 4th round or further as was only 8 in 1981. Still a tinge of disappointment that we were so close to Liverpool home in 1990( plus not far off a league cup quarter final v Coventry same season) If we can get through and hopefully get a home draw so that 2000 can watch, or if Devon got put into tier 1 by then maybe even a little more. Wouldn’t be as much as 4000 but any extra would be great. After missing out in first two rounds , tv money would be great although this season don’t mind so much if we don’t draw a big gun.

Around £8,500 to the losing team out of the £34k I have seen reported.
Ian Pearson kicked in the head by Tony Galvin. Ref didn’t even give us a free kick. That unleashed Hoddle the rest is history.i can see it all now never to be forgotten

One of only four ties not benefitting from TV money, and the only one involving different divisions. I guess that means that BBC/BT wouldn't consider it to be an upset if we win.
I know we wont play the side we have for league games, but the 'reserves' aren't bad and I am feeling optimistic and want us to win this badly.

I hope we don't get too many changes. I don't a Liverpool replay situation all over again.

Someone really doesn't like us or perhaps Gillingham!
There are twenty second round ties, sixteen are being broadcast on TV or Digital Platforms so will receive extra money.
We are one of only four that are not being broadcast which means not only are we not getting extra money but many supporters are having to pay to watch the game whereas it would have been free if you already had access to the platform that the others are being shown on.
Of course, having said that, we are at least luckier than our overseas supporters as they won’t be able to watch it at all as the iFollow broadcast is not available overseas and with the FA Cup Broadcasting rights sold to overseas broadcasters it is up to them which, if any, games they show and its highly unlikely that many of these second round fixtures will be seen as worth showing, especially as they are up against Championship and Premier League games at the same time.
I’m raising this last issue with the FA as it seems ridiculous to have a Broadcasting deal in place which actually achieves the opposite ie means supporters can’t watch games.
