Looking at the draw there's not that many obvious picks so maybe we do have a very good chance of being televised? I know obviously the Coalville and Truro games in previous seasons weren't but this one should be depending on how many TV selections they have.2

Chesterfield vs Portsmouth
Kidderminster vs Fleetwood
Hereford vs Gillingham
Slough vs Grimsby
Marine vs Harrogate
Sheppey vs Walsall
Scarborough vs Forest Green
Bromley vs Blackpool
Are the obvious choices... What with those being the Non-League vs League games.
Chesterfield would be a good pick, top of the Conference vs top of League One.
Hereford | Scarborough wouldn't be bad choices either, as ex-League clubs, but now Phoenix versions - Sheppey are an obvious option as lowest team left, against Walsall... Marine because "remember when they faced Spurs during COVID" - Bromley would be another good choice for a potential upset.
Then there is Mansfield vs Wrexham if they can get another Ryan Reynolds interview in, as that will surely boost viewing figures.0 -
I'd say Sheppey and Chesterfield are nailed on , Pompey as past winners at a non League club + Chesterfield's cup history should assure that one.1

Chesterfield, Sheppey and Bromley look nailed on to me.2

If it is tv a 5.30 kick off in Sunday is a really shitty time. Ok for travelling fans as its local but messes with people who want to eat dinner at a reasonable time.....and not just some greasy burger in the ground.
Game finishes around 7.30pm. Time to get home (even local) and its 8.30-9pm.
Cant eat beforehand either unless you have a big Sunday roast at lunchtime & then sandwiches or something light when you get home/on the way home.
And it's a Sunday. Lots of chippys are shut on a Sunday.
Grrrr....21 -

Go have a slap up roast somewhere like Hawksmoor in Canary Wharf or Borough, or closer to home at the Princess of Wales or similar establishment, nice and early at 1.30/2, and you'll have plenty of time to get to the game. Something light for dinner afterwards if you need it, perfect Sunday if you ask megolfaddick said:If it is tv a 5.30 kick off in Sunday is a really shitty time.

Hands up who'd definitely fall asleep if they had a massive roast dinner before the game?sam3110 said:

Not just me to think about, there are others in the household too.Elthamaddick said:of all the potential issues with a 5.30pm Sunday KO....when to eat your roast dinner must surely be the funniest
If it is live on tv at 5.30pm then I might stay at home and watch it. Live at 12 noon, 2pm or even 4pm then I'd probably go, but seeing as football has sold its soul to the devil then it reaps what it sows.0 -

Fantastic for Cray, no idea what their revenue is per season but i'd imagine this money sets the club up for a very long time and helps them to push up the leagues.shirty5 said:Each club who appeared live on Tv at this stage last season received £50,000

Is that the first time we’ll appear on BBC2 in a live match?0
-
CREWE VS DERBY!!! - What an absolute piss take for some of the Non-League sides
They might as well transport the TV Crews from Sheppey > Bromley > Charlton that weekend lol!
I'm glad that we're on the TV - In a way I think its also the wrong call - But hopefully means that Cray will get a shit ton of money from the tie now, rather than peanuts from low attendance figures4 -

Maybe Middlesbrough away 2006 ?

Pleased from Cray as the windfall they'll receive but fail to see the interest for the TV viewers.2
