We've been knocked out in the first round by a club 2 steps below the league once already (Northwich Victoria), so not a completely new low. (This is my entry for the 2021 international straw-clutching championships).
The BBC have picked Sudbury vs Colchester, and St Albans vs Forest Green as their live matches
ITV on the other hand will probably show Man Utd in the League
They're showing the next best thing
ITV will show Banbury United v Barrow, Sheffield Wednesday v Plymouth Argyle, Stratford Town v Shrewsbury Town and Dagenham & Redbridge v Salford City.
If the tie was the other way round it would have made the TV
It’s a weird one - The Valley has all the facilities and vantage points that a TV company needs, and we are playing a Natl Lge South team - I went to Maldon and Tiptree vs Newport in 2019, and the TV company had brought their own floodlights as Maldon’s weren’t good enough

The big boys visiting a tight little ground, with a bobbly pitch and tiny dressing rooms is all part of the "magic of the cup"
Especially as we have Ben Watson in our side, scorer of the winner in 2013

Add into the mix that The Valley will be almost empty, then probably Charlton declined to be televised !!

3000 in the Hawks' ground would generate a great atmosphere, 3000 at The Valley would be like a morgue

Stratford Town v Shrewsbury
Dag & Red v Salford
Sheff Wed v Plymouth
Are the four ties that ITV have genuinely picked
Not surprised by the last one sadly - I suppose they have picked Man Utd as well given the Salford City links
Especially as we have Ben Watson in our side, scorer of the winner in 2013
I reckon about 20k will be available
