All the UK games for TV have been decided, but have all the foreign TV games been decided ?

Looks like most of them have. Only 10 Saturday 3pm games left out of the 32 ties.

Although there is a little disclaimer at the bottom of the FA article saying "further overseas TV selections will be communicated in due course"

That is a disgrace.

[MarkBRFC]

Yeah its a farce really.

Everyone wonders why nobody takes it seriously anymore and that's one of the main reasons why. Used to love third round day with so many clubs kicking off at the same time in the same competition.

[Upside Down]

Why care about fans in the grounds when there are a lot of casual spectators in foreign lands watching on the telly.

What I hope is that we at last bring some passion and pride back to our Cup crusade for once. For a club with a proud FA Cup record like our's, the years under Mowbray have been pitiful.

No resting our key players, let's take our League form into the Cup campaign, go as far as we can. Take on a Premier league team and judge how competitive we are. Oh-----and earn some dosh along the way.

Tickets will presumably go on sale next week, at £10/15, I’d wager.

Yes I get the ‘priorities’ line, but a packed out away end, harking back to the Steven Reid rocket era, get a win and carry on the momentum, can only be a positive.

[arbitro]

Progress to round four would almost certainly mean the postponement of the away game at Swansea. And in turn that would mean for away travellers another night match in the back of beyond.

Still I suppose it will be worth it to put the pie eaters to the sword.

we should get the whole stand allocated,think we`ll sell it out no problem,i remember a league cup quarter final there and they gave us the whole side,which was about 7000,be great if they do that🙂

Depends if it stays Saturday 3pm (looking likely now) and if the tickets are £20 or less. My guess is 4,000

The increase in potential Covid restrictions may put such numbers in jeopardy.

I remember that although i think it was about 5.5k turned up, all along the front and at one end was netted off so not full capacity.

The FA cup game with Wigan will take place on Saturday 8th January 2022. 3pm kick off

[tomphil]

Yay, a 3pm cup game just up the road.

Proper cup tie if priced correctly.

[Mattyblue]

It will be, £20 absolute tops (famous last words!).

[chaddyrovers]

10 pounds per ticket would be reasonable price for this game

[tomphil]

Waggot will be on the phone to Wigan advising category A+ as he thinks we might take more than 1500

[chaddyrovers]

3 former Rovers players in the Barrow team. Defenders Matthew Platt and Joe Grayson plus Midfielder Tom White. 

1 former Rovers player in the ipswich team in Keeper Christian Walton

So Walton is now on loan at barrow ?

That says a hell of a lot whoever scouted him for here should be struck off.

Chris Walton is on loan at Ipswich, surely.

[bazza]

Ah!!!!!!!! Penny has dropped. Silly me.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Walton’s picked two out already. Barrow look a nice footballing team.

Mark Cooper is the manager there. He believes in playing that way and playing at the back
