At Bramhall Lane tonight

[drfchound]

More disrespect of the FACup.

[Thorney]

Stupid time and day to have the game on.
7pm on a thursday, not gonna get many fans travelling from south wales.

[Dutch Uncle]

Sheffield United losing appeal? 

[roversdude]

Ridiculous time/day for a cup tie. The cup has been devalued so much

[DonnyBazR0ver]

More respect of the freezing temps and driving conditions more like. Well done to those  6126.

[roversdude]

Agree DBR in spite of tv

[drfchound]

39,000 turned up at Everton v Peterborough.

Haven't seen this for a while, made me smile!

[DRFC_AjA]

Same fixture 7pm on a Thursday but in the championship is getting 20k+. Sparkle gone

Plus I think Everton are in a different situation with it being the last season at Goodison. They are queuing up to pay their last respects to the 'Old Lady' Plus there are waiting lists for the new stadium so I don't know if attending last nights match bumps folk up the queue.

Good points DBR.

Still, that's an excellent attendance at Goodison and a very poor show at Bramall Lane.

[Albert Trousers]

I can't see there being many more at Hull on Sunday, I don't think their take up has been very good.

[turnbull for england]

It hasn't, saw a post from Hull fan saying how poor it was in his opinion compared to our sales, think he said only opening two stands?

Especially when you consider the current league positions of both teams in their respective divisions.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

If we'd have been scheduled to play say Newport for example at 7pm last night, what would our turnout have been?

The reason these games are scheduled for Thursday (wtf) Friday, Sunday and Monday isn't for the benefit of attending fans.

Question: Is the current tv coverage across 5 days good or bad for the FA Cup?

[Scooter]

The FA ruining the FA cup. Spreading it out over the 5 days takes away the excitement of the 3rd round.
Extra time and penalties are ok but (for example) holding Villa to a 0-0 draw to earn a replay was brilliant. It’s a chance for the minnows to mix with the big boys.
Let’s go back to Saturday 3pm with one mouth watering match up to watch on a Sunday
