Liverpool away - SUNDAY 19th / 4.30pm / ESPN - CONFIRMED!!

[Gritt23]

Ok, guys and gals, as we hear of the games being announced for ITV and ESPN, pop them in here.

Seems worthy of its own thread seeing as all of our travel arrangements are dependant upon it.

Friday eve -
Saturday lunchtime -

Now correct me if I'm wrong but these are the facts

We can't play same day as Everton
Crawley game has to be Sunday as Stoke in Europa League on Thursday night

 

[n1 gull]

I reckon we will be on tv in one of the lunchtime slots. Liverpool are the huge in the far East and with Man Utd out, they
will want that market, but what do I know?

 

[Bozza]

It's hard to believe that we won't be 1 of the 5, when there are only 8 to choose from.

It's difficult to remove Albion bias, but in terms of attractiveness the order has to be something like...


Stevenage v Tottenham

Crawley Town v Stoke (Hate to say it but genuine chance of an old money Division 4 team knocking out a Premiership 'giant')

Liverpool v Brighton

Sunderland or Middlesbrough v Arsenal or Aston Villa

Chelsea v Birmingham

Millwall or Southampton v Bolton

Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday

Norwich v Leicester

Think Southampton v Bolton will rank third and Sunderland/Boro v Arsenal above us too.

Lets just hope we don`t play friday night.

Not a bad guess, but I reckon if Sunderland win the replay that will be deemed to be the 'tie of the round' as the TV companies always assume that neutrals would rather watch two Premier league teams as opposed to a potential giant killing.

PS - And Arsenal have already beaten Villa!

You'd think the marketability of a live Liverpool game for ESPN or ITV will have them pretty keen to put this on somewhere.

I'd bump Sunderland v Arsenal up to the top of that list as ITV like all Premiership clashes !

EDIT - beaten to it !

 

[Peter Grummit]

The problem comes if they don't decide until after the replays, which may only give 9 days until the Friday game. We will have to sell tickets before then surely.

Please not the Friday!

We have a cottage in Yorkshire Wed-Sat (yes, tieing in with Hull - epic fail).

if this is true, then I honeslty think Sat lunchtime will be our KO.

 

[Rugrat]

Not sure how much fans are considered in these things but if there's a TV slot Friday night ideally it would be Stevenage. My pref is that we get Saturday lunch ... an early start but I doubt I'd sleep Friday night anyway!

 

[Giraffe]

Our game will definitely be televised as will the Chelsea game as they are the two that command the biggest audience of the teams left. On the same basis Arsenal will be shown as well regardless of who they are playing.

Then possibly Stevenage v Spurs and Crawley v Stoke.

Middlesbrough or Sunderland Vs Arsenal

 

[Deleted member 22389]

My order:

Crawley Town v Stoke
Liverpool v Brighton
Stevenage v Tottenham


Sunderland or Middlesbrough v Arsenal or Aston Villa
Chelsea v Birmingham
Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday
Millwall or Southampton v Bolton
Norwich v Leicester

 

[Braders]

Friday eve - Chelsea v Birmingham
Saturday lunchtime - Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday
Saturday eve - Stevenage v Tottenham
Sunday 1pm - Liverpool v Brighton
Sunday 4pm - Crawley Town v Stoke

is my guess.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

Friday would be f***ing SHIT! And would need a lot of people to get the day off work to travel.

All other KO slots would be absolutely fine!

 

[leigull]

If Sheff Wed beat Blackpool then I'm sure their game at Everton would be of some interest to the TV companies

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Middlesbrough or Sunderland Vs Arsenal

I know but I was making an assumption ( so my assumption will upset Middlesbrough fans .... bad luck ! ).

 

[Deleted member 18477]

Friday eve - Chelsea v Birmingham
Saturday lunchtime - Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday
Saturday eve - Stevenage v Tottenham
Sunday 1pm - Liverpool v Brighton
Sunday 4pm - Crawley Town v Stoke

is my guess.

No! Stoke are playing on the Thursday!!!! In Europe!!! Hardly going to play 24hrs later.

Edit: you sneaky boy. U edited lol! Ur guess is just about right now I think!

 

[Peter Grummit]

Friday eve - Chelsea v Birmingham
Saturday lunchtime - Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday
Saturday eve - Stevenage v Tottenham
Sunday 1pm - Liverpool v Brighton
Sunday 4pm - Crawley Town v Stoke

is my guess.

Except Stoke play on the Thursday in the Europa...
