Derby vs Torquay (BBC) Salford City vs Peterborough (ITV)
Are the replays picked for TV coverage - Decent job from ITV picking their tie when there are five replays involving Non-League teams!!
I get the Wrexham hype, even thought their documentary was excellent but the Salford hype is so grating. I feel the magic has long worn off with them, attendances dwindling (dwarfed by Wrexham) and I can't imagine too many tuning in for that glamour tie with Peterborough
Smack in the middle of the World Cup group stage, when the BBC and ITV have a ridiculous number of games to cover, so not ideal. Both days have FOUR WC games as well, so I can't imagine the viewing figures will be great, indeed this is one occasion when the sensible thing would have been to not televise any of them, and give non football viewers something else to watch!
ASLEF have called a strike on Saturday 26/11/2022, if we play on this day it will mean no Southeastern services stopping at Charlton, Thameslink services between Luton/Rainham via Central London via Charlton should be running a normal service. https://aslef.org.uk/publications/aslef-announces-another-day-strike-action

A pity for the Stockport fans (and, indeed, for ours who live further afield), as the rail strike is bound to depress what would otherwise have been a very healthy away following.
Ebbsfleet Vs Fleetwood must be a potential TV game I'd imagine
I do hope so thats my 12 hr days weekend and cant go to Charton or Ebbsfleet so moving to a friday or monday night would be great, though maybe the consideration of the travelling Fleetwood fans may stop it.
TV kindly considering the Fleetwood fans and giving them a 250+ mile trip for a 12.30 Sunday kick off!
According to the FA website 15.00 Saturday 26th November, but it would be good if either of the clubs could confirm this, especially for the Stockport fans who need to plan their travel around the rail strike planned for this day. https://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/fixtures
Who would chose to watch an international game not involving their country over their own club in the FA Cup?

Have to admit I’m not going to trek up from sunny East Sussex for it for a number of reasons with one of them being, but not the main one, that the World Cup is on. When the World Cup is normally on there is no Club football and I’d watch as many games as is humanly possible. Stockport is not a big enough draw for me especially when the Club will only open stands that they want you to sit in, not where you’d prefer to sit, nor run Valley Express as they normally do.

Because its the World Cup which only happens every 4 years. And we are playing Stockport. And we have half our team injured. And our owner decided not to spend any money in the summer & so brought it on himself. And the "big leagues" were able to pause playing but the lower league ones had to continue playing. And as I am not allowed to post Premier League scores on match threads because its "oh so important" half a dozen people want to watch Match of the Day 5 hours after games have finished & dont want to know the score I cant be arsed.

Care for any more reasons.
I’d like three more reasons please and can the middle one begin with a “g”?

No that’s fine. Apologies, it’s completely my fault, it should have been obvious that the reason you won’t attend to support your club is because around 13 years ago someone said not to post scores from another league on an Internet forum thread :-)
Most Charlton fans wouldn’t attend this fixture if it was the only game being played in the world at this time, never mind against the World Cup. Shopping, sleeping, eating and drinking will all take precedence.
