FA website has confirmed TV games, unfortunately not us. So that is another tenner and a 3pm Saturday kick off time.

Colchester and Maldon and Tiptree are live on the digital coverage, a few more quid in the kitty especially for Maldon and Tiptree who are also on the Red button coverage on Sunday so will pick up £32500 compared to our £12500.

The FA said it's up to the host club to stream or not, I think.

Did the FA renege on that deal after it was scandalised? Someone mentioned some sort of iFollow set up existing for the National Prem teams?

The games are streamed on the internet (For example BBC iPlayer) rather than being shown on the standard TV service.

Just read that losing teams in the FA Cup first round will receive £5,657 so we will get some revenue from our cup run! ?

I worded my question pretty poorly. I am aware of digital coverage, I should have asked what platform are they being shown on?

If BBC are hosting, I guess it may well be the BBC Sport Web page, I have watched a few womens matches on there

Sorry DWB I thought that was a strange question, so just went with the flow! Yes our game is being shown on iPlayer and the BBC Sport web page. Full details of all games here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54737562
