can't make Fri, Sat or Sun.......
That's a shame.Indeed, but I discounted them for the purposes of this discussion as I really can't see them having Brighton v Arsenal exclusively for all the boyos in the valleys.
Grrr, cant make lunchtime Saturday
Can't make Sunday.....

I don't see it as a likely TV match myself. Top PL team against championship side having a tough season is hardly a recipe for a cup upset on paper is it?
Reckon there is a very good chance this could be on BBC or ITV, it's a big match with a small possibility of an upset, however we are also going up against Cambridge V Man Utd
If I was in charge of the schedules these are the two matches I would certainly pick for the main channels.
Saturday 5.30 would get my vote. A nice drinkies in town watching the scores come in, then a cheeky train to the Amex for the main event.

Just hope its not a Sunday or Monday night game.
Saturday evening would be perrrrfect for maximum drinkies before KO.
Again, I would suspect BT Sport will want to pick this game up, as Arsenal were on the Beeb in the last round. I guess BBC could take the Cambridge vs Man United game, again as United were on BT Sport in the last round.
Total guesswork.
ITV have zero chance. They don't have broadcasting rights.
lol, shows how much I know. Didn't they broadcast the FA Cup last season?
So that leaves just the BBC then. Is it possible they could do a Saturday lunchtime and Sunday afternoon?
Obvious TV picks for me are:
Cambridge Utd vs Man Utd
Liverpool vs Bolton
Doncaster Rovers or Bristol City vs Everton or West Ham United
Then if Bradford get through I can imagine their visit to Stamford Bridge being a pick.
I would class all of them as more inviting than our tie, but that does obviously leave a few spare picks.
