[Albion] Which FA Cup fourth round ties would YOU televise live?

[Bozza]

I'm taking a guess that six will be televised live, as was the case with the third round.

Which *SIX* would YOU choose?

Crystal Palace vs Hartlepool
Bournemouth vs Boreham Wood
Huddersfield vs Barnsley
Peterborough vs QPR
Cambridge vs Luton
Southampton vs Coventry
Chelsea vs Plymouth
Everton vs Brentford
Kidderminster vs West Ham
Manchester United or Aston Villa vs Middlesbrough
Tottenham vs Brighton
Liverpool vs Cardiff
Stoke vs Wigan
Nottingham Forest vs Leicester
Manchester City vs Fulham
Wolves vs Norwich

 

[Driver8]

Forest v Leicester is a given I would think.

Not much else to write home about.

 

[Knightsworld]

Bournemouth vs Boreham Wood
Cambridge vs Luton
Everton vs Brentford
Kidderminster vs West Ham
Tottenham vs Brighton
Nottingham Forest vs Leicester

Obviously never in a million years.

 

[Icy Gull]

Well Manchester United of course, first name on the schedule for as long as I can remember, I’d hate to break the sequence

If they lose to Villa then I’ll have to have a rethink

I don’t care as long as we are one of them though

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Cambridge v Luton. Stand out tie of the round in terms of competitiveness and atmosphere. Probably the only one I would bother watching apart from BHA.

 

[Stat Brother]

I do not own a global media empire.

 

[DavidRyder]

Two guaranteed, Kidderminster and Forest. Man Utd of course, probably on BBC, continue their love in.

Anyone's guess on the others, unfortunately too many big teams home rather than away

I would absolutely love us NOT to be one of them and have a nice Saturday 3pm FA Cup tie please. All prem TV game would probably stick us on a Monday 8pm slot like MU v Villa tonight.

I thought it couldn't be the Monday game, because Spurs are playing Southampton on the Wednesday? The only Premier League teams who could conceivably play on the Monday night are Liverpool, Leicester and Wolves, as their mid-week games are on the Thursday.

Friday night then...

 

[Change at Barnham]

I think Forest v Leicester will be the Monday night game because it's the most attractive tie and because Leicester are playing their following midweek game on Thursday.

My biggest concern is them choosing our game for Friday night.
(I'm assuming there is a Friday night slot like in the third round? Does anyone know?)

 

[Peter Grummit]

I think Spurs-Brighton is nailed on.

Personally, I hope it's the Friday night game as the trains are screwed at the weekend. https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/serv...ntAndFuture.aspx?TravelDate=05/02/2022&TOC=sn

 

[crodonilson]

Man U v Middlesboro
Tottingham v Brighton
Liverpool v Cardiff
Kidderminster v West H'aaaaa'm
Everton v Brentford
Forest v Leicester

Only all Premier League tie and that is catnip to ITV as they don't get to show PL teams very often.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

No Yorkshiremen on here then

 

[Badger Boy]

What was going through the mind of the person who selected Wolves vs Norwich?!

 

[Iggle Piggle]

As a general point, it's a rubbish draw. You want the weaker teams at home to even it up and give it a cup tie feel. Hartlepool V Palace, Coventry V Southampton, Plymouth V Chelsea and Boreham Wood V Bournemouth are much more interesting ties than how they came out.

I'd pick Kidderminster V West Ham and Foreist V Lecester for sure. Take you pick from the rest.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Only all Premier League tie and that is catnip to ITV as they don't get to show PL teams very often.

Apart from Wolves-Norwich and Everton-Brentford.

But, I agree with your sentiment, likely to be ITV.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Forest-Leicester ought to be either the Friday or Monday as minimal travelling and will sell out whenever. Although that's probably too sensible for competing TV companies.
