FA Cup Draw. Home to Lincoln

[The Doctor]

I hate cup draws like this one. We always seem to get drawn against one of the stronger teams in whatever division we are in (like we were against Charlton) or a middling/boring team from the division above. There’s a reasonable we’ll lose and I’ll be fed up about it but also a reasonable chance that we’ll win and then I will consider it a waste of a win (and what would have been 3 points) against a team we are competing in the same league as. Why can’t we be drawn against a team with a cool, proper ‘FA Cup’ name that we’ve never seen before like Marine or Solihull Motors or Canvey Island or Havant & Waterlooville? If we do beat Lincoln we’ll probably draw a team like Hull or Ipswich from League 1 or Millwall or Birmingham from the Championship or if we do get a Premier League team it’ll be West Brom away.

An unglamourous and difficult draw, no doubt about it. But at least we are at home.

Basically, you get on TV is you are, or are playing, a non-league team. Which is fair enough really.

There are 8 more matches from the remaining 12 to be picked for TV coverage so the 4 not chosen will be really peeved at missing out on the TV money.

They've announced the other 8 games today and we're one of those 4 games not selected at all. But at least we'll be able to watch the glamour tie that is Barrow or Wimbledon v Crawley!

If it’s available on iFollow - we’d surely be better off from a revenue POV through that platform - assuming more than 1250 subscriptions are purchased.
