Breaking News Tv fixtures for fa cup

[Kevin Hogg]

I think the problem is that Southend United are obviously not going draw a huge tv audience....and neither are Hull City. Both clubs will have the PB factor as extra interest...but would anyone outside Humberside or South East Essex care less??

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Just heard Cameron on tv - predicting unrest and civil disorder from Penzance to Carlisle as the news filters through that the masses will be unable to see Southend United versus Hull City live on tv!! :winking:

Southend v Hull has world wide interest, im here in Australia ,im interested , their Orm IN hong KONG i thing , he/she is interested , then theres Tampa something in USA he/she is interested,a few in France and Spain that are interested,pretty Worldwide to me.TV companies should be ashamed dont Chelsea get enough coverage ,be nice to spread a bit of joy around and im betting our match has got a few people interested.

 

[Shrimper]

No surprise that Chelsea is on TV. Others are justified.

 

[mgh]

looks like we're keeping the umbongo then

 

[eastling]

Well we will just have to beat Hull then to get on TV next round ...:smiles:
Luckily I can make the game

 

[mgh]

best case scenario, get a draw and the replay is on TV plus a second gate windfall?!

 

[tia]

Shame we are not on TV but thats the way it goes.Should still be a great occasion at Roots Hall.I am really looking forward to it

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Choosing fixtures like this for the TV games is why the FA Cup is losing it's lustre.

I'm amazed our game hasn't been chosen as it's the formula for a cupset.

The TV companys are denying the rest of the country a giant killing live on TV .

 

[KiwiRob]

Global interest in Southend United also extends to New Zealand!

 

[OldBlueLady]

We sometimes falter in front of live cameras so if that helps our confidence then I'm quite happy to wait for our 5th round match to be televised! :winking:

My parents are SUFC fans in NZ. There's a team call Southend United AFC down in Invercargill (they're in Dunedin).

Absolutely. Chelsea vs Stoke... jeeez

 

[MK Shrimper]

All about selling TV rights to other countries. Chelsea v Stoke maybe boring to us, but in the streets of Sierra Leone, Manilla and Caracas it's cash money (as the young people might say).

 

[Kevin Hogg]

The bottom line is that nobody cares about Southend United v Hull City...except Southend United and Hull City!

And both clubs supporters of course!! Before you all start!

Indeed. 4-1 away at Millwall, and 5-0 against QPR spring to mind. I think we actually have pretty good record in televised matches over the years, JPT finals aside...

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

I'm outraged by this - the two Sunday games that have been selected are pathetic.

Sheff U v Fulham/Norwich

Who cares?!?

Where has the magic gone? :madman:
