The TV companies pay a fortune for the rights, of course they go for the games that will give them the highest viewing numbers, I’ve no idea why people get upset by this. I'm not upset in the slightest. As a non Sky customer I couldn't much care what games they show. I do think Franchise v Wimbledon would draw a significant audience though. I know I would be more inclined to watch it than Notts v Bradford.

Its heart over head really unless games involving salford or wrexham are screened in the cup when there are more interesting games with better clubs or possible shocks to screen. not just sky though is it? BBC are the worst for this; as soon as the Premier club enter the competition the remaining lower league clubs can more or less forget about a plum TV tie, unless of course they draw Man U. Be interesting to see who they choose in round 1, apart from the usual possible upset ties. Don,t they broadcast the games throughout the world though therefore they are bound to show man.u more than the rest because these people will have heard of them. Like us most football fans would be hard pushed to say the names of more than a handful of teams away from the UK and Ireland unless you stop to think or have more than a passing interest in that countries football.

Have not seen the full draw but i cannot see much interest in bracknell v Dag and Red on tomorrows red button 12.30 KO.

The game at Wetherby Road that day is Harrogate v Swindon - we're at home to Colchester.

Like us most football fans would be hard pushed to say the names of more than a handful of teams away from the UK and Ireland unless you stop to think or have more than a passing interest in that countries football. what I mean is yes they do show man u virtually every third round, but last season there were some more interesting ties and potential upsets in round 3 and 4 but they reverted to type showing Premier or "big club" ties. Aren’t they supposed to be a public service broadcaster? They pretend to be rooting for the non-league/lower league teams earlier i the competition but as soon as the big boys enter then they appear to lose interest. Same as on an international weekend or the first week of the season when there's no Premier league then no final score. Its almost as if football doesn't exist until the Premier league is under way. And all those radio and TV ads in August "football is back " when most teams have already played 2 or 3 fixtures and possibly a league cup match. Really annoys me.

And all those radio and TV ads in August "football is back " when most teams have already played 2 or 3 fixtures and possibly a league cup match. Really annoys me. Agree with that. As fans we have a good idea which live games will be broadcasted as soon as we look at the draw. Possibly not the ones we would have chosen but really shows they cater more for the armchair f.c. who relish stuff we do not. Yes no premier league equated to no final score and we need to find the results we care about more from somewhere else. Think its a situation now where there are 3 tiers of fan who watches football. One lot its premier league and the championship if your team has recently been in the former. We are in the second tier of league 1 and 2 plus ex league clubs in non league. Then the last is the traditional non league fan with only interest is at that level. Think all 3 do not really mix that well as i can name far more div.1 or 2 players of other clubs than any from say spurs or dorking that i have an equal disinterest in.

Notts County have made 4 changes from last Saturday (including a keeper change and they don't have their usual captain)
Lots of Notts County fans aren't happy with the depth by reading the comments
Obviously depending on this result, there's a big chance to take the number 1 spot today

Looking forward to this game. Draw has to be the best result for us.
Good to hear Aaron McLean on the TV again. Always rated him on BT.

Notts 1 up after Mansfield fail to clear a low cross and it's bundled home. Crowley looks a player.
Edit - Been all Mansfield since then. Seem to take the wrong option in good positions.

Think it's more directed toward the bench. Look to be 4 or 5 out injured. If they get the same level injuries of us and others, they'll struggle. They may get lucky though and strengthen in Jan. They'll throw money behind it and attract players competing for promotion.

1-1. Been coming. Notts caught playing out vs a press (hope we can catch them the same way).

Notts will be going nowhere this season looking at their style of play at the back. Teams will wise up to it, outrageously risky.

Mansfield a third of the ball but 7 shots to 2. If we can keep an incredible frontline of Langstaff, McGoldrick, Crowley and Jones quiet, I think we could have some joy against them with our press and pace on the counter.
