Slightly bizarre if true. Although preferable to having to travel up on the Friday night

Why move the Stoke game to Sunday unless it was going to be on TV.

Maybe ESPN see a possible shock on the horizon.

TV ? Or do we already know who's being shown.

Maybe, but it didn't strike me as a draw the TV companies would be falling over themselves to show.

Having said that, I don't think I've seen it confirmed anywhere what the live games are going to be.

Agreed, but as there are usually 5 lives games across ITV & ESPN on Cup weekends, there's only 8 games, so maybe.

Can't see it being on a Sunday unless it is televised. Stoke are at Arsenal on the Tuesday after. As for us why can't we move the Plymouth game to a Wednesday if we have to play on the Sunday?

To be fair there's no excuses that we can't get 3pts against Plymouth just after a trip to Stoke.

Udders played away to Arsenal on a sunday and then at home to Carlisle on tuesday and won.

so IF the stoke game is on the sunday and plymouth moved to the tuesday (2 days later), why can't we simply play stoke on saturday with plymouth as planned on Monday?

What's gonna happen to Stoke's game v Arsenal on the Tuesday if the game is scheduled for the Sunday midday or 3pm kick-off ?

Well the commentators throughout last nights game said we looked tired throughout the game due to our exertions against Watford!

Don't forget there are replays also scheduled for that weekend, so actually only 5 5th round ties to pick from. That should guarantee that our game is televised - unless they choose one that is subject to a replay and show it whenever it gets played, rather than over that weekend.
