Yeah wont be surprised if they show that one as well.SouthWest_Addicks said:
Only 20 matches in 2nd round. Depends how many matches they are planning to show. Eastleigh v Reading is another guaranteed TV game.ForeverAddickted said:You'd expect the Aldershot and Chesterfield ties to be televised given their upsets... Hope Ramsgate do get televised given they've shown Cray Valley at a League side.
Six games have been televised if you include S4C showing Mansfield vs Wrexham, so you'd expect them to show Wrexham vs Yeovil.
The BBC and ITV will show five others
Maidstone vs Barrow
Eastleigh vs Reading
Aldershot vs Walsall
Chesterfield vs Leyton Orient
Derby vs Bristol Rovers
Would be the games I expect them to pick.0 -
Full draw:
Maidstone United v Barrow
Wycombe Wanderers v Morecambe
Notts County v Shrewsbury
Chesterfield v Leyton Orient
Aldershot Town v Stockport County

Peterborough or Salford v Doncaster or Accrington
Eastleigh v Reading

Stevenage v Port Vale or Burton Albion
Newport County v Barnet
Oxford United v Slough Town or Grimsby

No chance they’ll show Derby v Bristol Rovers instead of Gillingham v Cray Valley Paper MillsForeverAddickted said:

On a serious note, as the lowest team (likely to be) left in the competition, I’d expect Ramsgate to be on TV even if they were drawn away.1

Maybe their first 11 were subconsciously saving themselves for the league.The Prince-e-Paul said:Portsmouth played their first 11 that got them top of the league. OK a few injuries but their manager respected Chesterfield. Well done Spireites.
Sometimes kids and reserves can be hungrier.0 -
Gillingham vs Charlton screams TV game. Local(ish) derby. The L1 former PL club and FA Cup winners away to a fairly decent L2 side.
Eastleigh vs Reading will surely be the 1st pick. Chester or York City v recent winners Wigan Athletic is another cert (with Ben Watson as a pundit)
Sutton vs Barnsley (if they get through) is a possible.0 -
Blinding draw always good away day nice & easy to get to can't wait

Agreed not perfect but much rather a local away game which I can goForeverAddickted said:
Not very inspiring... I enjoy the Cup because of the prospect of facing different teams - Rather than one we've faced a few times the last few seasons.cafcsinger said:
Why? Decent draw local gameForeverAddickted said:Can we just let Cray Valley have the win!!
Least we have the potential to reach the third round I suppose
As I say... Its a good opportunity to get a big game in the 3rd Round.
Thats it.2 -
Why not? It's a far more obvious pick than most of the games in the draw.Bedsaddick said:

How long since they have sold out the scaffold end?0

Tbf not many people expected this to be a TV game. It doesn’t always follow the logic you’d think it would.0

If there werent many Non-League sides left, then I reckon it would be a dead cert.JaShea99 said:Tbf not many people expected this to be a TV game. It doesn’t always follow the logic you’d think it would.1 -
The Scaffold end is only half capacity now because of safety reasons0

Was up until fairly recently of the opinion that not having to be in the same league as Gills was a good thing, as it meant we didn't have to visit that dump of a ground.
However, I'll take this on the basis that its a local game which means its not a weekend without going to live football.0 -
Just goes to show that 3 teams should come up from the conferenceBedsaddick said:

EFL teams will never vote for it but at the very least I think 21st and 22nd in League 2 should be thrown into the National League playoffs to keep their position in the league.R0TW said:

So often nowadays the quality of the top of the National League is equivalent to at least mid table League 2. Giving teams an opportunity to prove that via playoffs would be the best way forward IMO.1 -
Anyone know of a stream for today?2

Some will call Gillingham v Charlton the 'Kentish Derby" or the A2/ M2 derby but surely it's the static home v mobile home derby 🤔
If Cray Valley Paper Mills from the Isthmian South East division win today please ignore the above bollocks.2 -
All three teams in the League Two auto spots, have been promoted from the National League in the last two years.Callumcafc said:

Of the teams in the top ten, only Crewe and Gillingham haven't been in the National League across the last 20-years.0 -

They will pick the non league games . A mid table league two side against a mid table league one side won’t have the viewers salivating.killerandflash said:

Chesterfield aren't traditional non league minnows, so their game vs Orient isn't especially "romantic" for example
1 -
Yeah I don’t think Chesterfield v Orient will be a TV game. Those clubs must’ve played each other a lot over the years, and was a regular league fixture until 4-5 years ago.
Theres no historical or geographical link between the clubs either (that I know of) that might make it more interesting…1 -
