Will be a terrible crowd at £20/25 a pop. Should have been 15 and a fiver for all concessions.
 

Two minds about this as I would rather lower league clubs get the tv money in the early rounds, so for that reason I always thought the Liverpool tie would be picked and have no real problem with them doing so.

Regardless of form, Everton vs Leicester is an unbeaten at home premiership side against the champions and therefore should have been televised.

It'll be two Premiership reserves sides trying to outhoof each other. I wouldn't have picked it for telly either.

Cambridge beating Leeds is a much bigger story than our 0-2 defeat to Leicester U-23's.

Plus the smaller clubs get the windfall, and I get decent bevvying time after the match. Happy days.

I'm all for the smaller clubs in these next two rounds being picked for tv but West Ham/City and United/Reading certainly wouldn't have been chosen. It wasnt a great draw overall though.

Leeds are a no mark Championship side though, without a trophy for longer than ourselves. Absolutely no reason for this tie to have been selected. On the other hand, has there ever before been a tie between the country's reigning champions and a fellow premier side that has not been televised in this age of saturation TV coverage?

Don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy that ours is a 3pm Saturday KO. But some of the Tv selections this round are bizarre. Yes, Utd are always going to be selected because of their large support. But the RS, despite what the deludeds might think, are not in the same league. If the TV companies are going to always cover their cup games irrespective, then its coming to the point that their resultant TV money is going to outweigh the financial reward from actually winning the trophy! Surely the other PL clubs (and in this instance particularly ourselves) cannot be happy at being overlooked in favour of the concentration on Utd and the RS. You can appreciate why the commercial TV companies do it, in order to potentially attract more viewers and hence more advertising revenue. But when BBC start doing the same then whether the system is equitable from the wider perspective needs addressing.
