The Wrexham situation may mean that they get the sympathy vote.

 

It *should* be us, if you think about it:

 

- Merson factor

- We have lost twice at home since Christmas in all competitions

- They have only won about twice away in that time

- Were one of the lowest teams left in the comp (remamber they did the Harrogate v's Bristol City match.

 

Got the makings of a bananaskin.

 

We shall see...

Don't forget, we could do with the money!

[Matt]

Pretty gutting if we're not live, ourselves and Walsall would each get about £75,000. If we're the featured game on MOTD I *think* that figure is about £13,000.

[Tom]

According to the sky report we would get a minimum of £25,000?

[YELLOW]

Well done Slough!! Best of luck against Walsall, give Merson some abuse!!

[GarySTFC]

£75k to each side if it's a live game. £25k might be a bit optimistic, but that's next season's rent paid if it is that much!

[YELLOW]

Think you guys have a good chance of being on live TV. If I was a TV scheduler I''d probably pick your game and maybe Thurrock v Oldham.

 

Knowing what Sky and BBC are like I doubt that all three matches they'll show will feature non league sides.

 

Two will probably feature non league teams and the other will be an all league affair, Swindon v Sheff Wed seems the most likely.

[Matt]

Doing Thurrock again seems a bit unfair, weren't they covered live last season?

[Tom]

I know its on the weekend of 13/14th November, but has the day been decided?

[Tuffley Rebel]

I think Sky might be interested in Stafford v Chester. Non-league v league and the Ian Rush factor and it's almost a derby.

[Dominic]

All details have to be sorted out within 48 hrs of match!

[Ted]

The goals are still being shown on Sky (408) at about 20 to the hour. Slightly different format from yesterday with fewer interviews and more shots of supporters approaching the ground---a very nice shot of Plinth too!!

[Matt]

Nice to see the players on the pitch celebrating and clapping the fans too.
