blueatheart Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 FC United v Chesterfield and Salford v Notts County will be the TV games. Nailed on. Not after FCUM's recent comments on TV coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Not after FCUM's recent comments on TV coverage. Imagine the viewers they'll get from the United link though, it will certainly entice the TV channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 There's no way they won't show Salford and FCUM on TV. It's like having mini-United on. IIRC United went 50 consecutive FA Cup matches on the telly, until broken a year or two back. A chance to entice the same audience twice in the first round will not go amiss.

Forte_Baby Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I think Exeters game may have a chance after they were knocked out by non league warrington away last year live on the tv, away again at non league Proberly be 4 games two on the BBC and 2 on BT so two above mentioned plus Didcot and one more to be shown.

yarddog73 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 When are the kick off date and times confirmed? The first round games are spread over four days from Friday through to Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The bbc wanted to show fc uniteds game in the previous round, but fc united refused due to the altered KO time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 One game shown by BBC on the Friday. Two shown by BT, one on Sunday, one on Monday. Eight games moved to Sunday for BBC - goals and action shown as they happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnt Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 You can't knock the model at FC United - they are a demonstration of how clubs should be run. It's just a shame they took and use the United name. It's not a healthy situation to be having fan-clubs for existing teams potentially competing in the leagues ahead of actual clubs, which represent places.

leeslover Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 They got a load of flack for moving a game for Sky didn't they? If they don't move now it will be a simple calculation of cash vs the value of their holier than though reputation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it because they were away somewhere as far south as the black country? I totally agree with them. I hope they go for the so-called holier-than-thou option again if it comes to it.

Matt Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The bbc wanted to show fc uniteds game in the previous round, but fc united refused due to the altered KO time. The Emirates FA Cup – 3rd Rd Qualifying The idea In short, we’re going to start the BBC’s live FA Cup coverage earlier than ever this season, and in a way never attempted before. Mobile Match of the Day Live will be a first for a major broadcaster in Europe – delivering the fans’ eye view and experience of a football match using mobile phones only, from filming at the game, through streaming direct to the audience’s mobile via the BBC Sport website. Presented by Radio 1Extra’s Nick Bright and Amplify Dot we’ll take fans behind the scenes of a match, enable them to saviour the matchday experience in the crowd and tell the stories of the super fans, subs on the bench and the dedicated staff at the clubs – all while attempting to capture the best of the action on the pitch. We’ll support the broadcast with a live page on the front page of the BBC Sport website, where we are likely to reach a UK audience of around 8m users across the day, as well as using the Match of the Day and BBC Sport social media accounts, where we have a combined audience of more than 10m. The live page will begin just before kick-off through to full time and include audience debate and discussion, before becoming a live scores service for the Fourth Qualifying Round matches on Saturday, October 24. Pilot: Enfield v Hitchin on Saturday, October 10, 3pm. Broadcast: Saturday, October 24, with a 12pm kick-off – meaning a game will need to be brought forward. Hopefully, we will be able to feature either Enfield or Hitchin again of they have been involved in the pilot. A fee of £500.00 per club will be applicable if the kick-off time has to be moved from 3.00pm. This fee will not be negotiable. What do we need? In short, as much access as possible. Our ambition is to take the audience into the heart of the fans’ experience as well as, hopefully, giving them an insight into parts of the game normally out of bounds such as speaking to subs as they warm-up, the managers during each half, perhaps the half-time teamtalk? Here’s a list, which I thought would be easier… · Access-all-areas permission to broadcast from o Anywhere within the ground where fans can access such as stands, concourses during the game o The tunnel and changing rooms at half-time o The dugouts roughly halfway through each half o The pitch at half-time – to potentially chat to the groundsman · Access to people o As above around area access o Potentially a long-serving “character” from each club o Could we speak to substitutes as they warm up? o Would we be able to speak to club staff (food kiosk workers etc, stewards?) How we’ll do it Using the latest mobile technology we’ll have an iPhone with a rucksack containing extra battery power and a signal booster – that’s it. In addition to the two presenters we’ll have a phone operator, a producer and, I’d imagine, two BBC-employed stewards to help ensure everything goes smoothly around the broadcast.. What a load of wank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 That makes sense. I was a bit puzzled by their ant-TV stance as they'd already been televised on a Friday night against Rochdale a few years back. ESPN aproached Rochdale to move the fixture to a date for TV. Rochdale said it was fine under the previso that ESPN must check with FCUM - who would in turn ask its membership. The terms were agreed on the condition that Rochdale lowered their prices for the local fans. The conditions for this game, it's viewing on TV and kick off time was that the fans convenience was put ahead of the money. A game against say, Luton Town or Carlisle moved to suit the TV companies would not be convenient for the paying through-the-turnstile supporter, and therefore the answer would be a no in these circumstances.

It's a nice, simple principle. If the fans who go get :censored:ed about, televise something else. Didn't Salford Red Sox go something like a year without kicking off at 3 o'clock on a Saturday at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Are people bothered about games being televised? Personally im more than happy to see our games televised on the basis that the most we ever get televised is about twice a season so it's not like we are being moved about. Plus it's cash our club needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the money isn't that great (doesn't look like it for FCUM) then you can also afford to forgo the "exposure" and look after the ones who go to the match. Not many clubs would make a stand like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Not Oldham related, but a housemate of mine from Uni just helped his Barwell side beat Rushden & Diamonds to reach round one for the first time in their history. An away trip there in round two would do nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many clubs would make a stand like that. As has been said they are cash rich for their level it's not a problem for them pretty much every other club would welcome it. If we got them we wouldn't get more than 1000 tickets we would easily sell out. Most of us would appreciate it being shown on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 As has been said they are cash rich for their level.. Need some evidence of that mate. Believe me, there is still a need to fund the ground and the £67,000 plus TV fee or whatever it is would put a huge dent in it. Incidentally, there is some speculation from Spireites that the 10-15% tickets given to away fans in a segregated Broadhurst Park, may well be swallowed up by corporates and sponsors. At the moment the situation is that the game must be as accessible as possible to the fans that want to go - if it means trying to make sure fans get the tickets and not the sponsors, or some of the money gained from the tie goes towards bussing Chesterfield fans on a Monday night for free to help them get there, then that's what needs to be done. Nobody is denying it's a precarious situation to be in, or that difficult decisions have to be made - however there are lots of discussions going on between the membership and board for the best solution.

Well, yes if that's what Chesterfield want to do - it's got to be a mutual agreement. Can't deny their payday. However there are ways to improve the situation - keep the ticket price to the minimum allowed, help fans from Chesterfield get there. and make sure every effort is made that the fans get the tickets and sponsors.
