I don't think the broadcast contract includes provisions for broadcasting of the 5th round by ESPN or ITV on a Friday night, and unlikely the clubs would agree to this when Sunday is available.

So that leaves Friday night and Sunday 4PM - unless were stuck on at the same time as the Crawley match and not on TV.
Friday i could probably do, Sunday 4PM is VERY tight with the trains back, especially as Anfield is quite a way from the station.

No cheap tickets on the 1948 or 2048 from Lime Street on that Sunday.
Going to be expensive.

ITV have already chosen their games (not us).
There is no scheduled TV game on Friday night - so only 4 out of 8 games being covered.
ESPN have Saturday lunchtime and 4 on Sunday - which games not yet on their or FA websites.

Stevenage v Spurs is on ITV at 2pm Sunday.
ESPN have the 4pm Sunday slot, so that'll be our game I'd wager.
There is NOTHING on the ESPN website schedule for a Friday night or Monday night FA Cup 5th round game.
Now Everton is definitely on Saturday, we WILL be the Sunday 4pm game for ESPN. Or if they don't televise it (unlikely), then we'll be 3pm Sunday I expect.

My logic is that if Everton are at home on Saturday the BHA match has to be on Sunday for police reasons.
If it's televised (which I don't think it will be) then it'll be at 4 pm. If it's not then they'll go for the usual post-lunchtime 1.30 pm kick-off so fans can not drink too much before and get back afterwards.

F A website currently shows both us and Everton at 3 pm Saturday - may change, of course.

ESPN have a Saturday midday kick-off and Sunday 4PM kick-off games pencilled in but it doesnt say which ones yet - looking increasingly more likely that it will be Sunday

Surely ESPN will show Crawley v Stoke which has to be on Sunday if its true that Stoke are in Europa League Action on the Thursday?

[source? or just opinion?[/QUOTE]
Source - a friend of mine that works within the football TV distribution rights world. just had a text to confirm (albeit directly from my brother). If he says it's on Sunday at 4.30 then it will be (going by past performance).
Ruins my plans, simply can't get to the game on a Sunday but have the luxury of knowing I can at least still see the game.
