    No trains on the MK/Watford > South Croydon line which stops at West Brompton so need to travel to Euston and back out.

    Doubt it will be on TV. Probably moved it to 4pm to accommodate for an early kick off in West London which will be on TV.

    Hate the fact that they are showing two all Premier League clashes on TV. This is the FA Cup... can't we watch games that usually would not happen?

    Agree but the TV companies are also thinking of ratings.

    Obviously true, but definitely not fair on teams such as Blyth Spartans and Gateshead who have worked tirelessly to get to the third round and not get a big TV payday because of it.

    It's all about the money for you, isn't it, 'Arrow? The football authorities have as always got their minds on other things .. I suppose.

    But a neutral is more likely to tune into a potential cup upset rather than a mundane all prem tie where each side play their b team

    Again agree. I would much rather watch them than sodding Arsenal v Hull.

    Indeed. I believe this set of chosen fixtures means about 30 consecutive televised FA Cup games for Manchester United.

    I understand the point of this game being on, but make no mistake it doesn't matter where or who they play, they are shown.

    As I've got precisely zero interest in going to this, for reasons I believe I've made all too clear - if anyone wants to use my ID to get a ticket then message me

    Love actually,

    £144,000 is paid to teams on TV. As you say it's not fair. Imagine how much that's worth to Blyth.

    Indeed. Happens every year. Can't think of anything less interesting than Arsenal v Hull in the FA Cup 3rd round. Home banker and key players won't even be playing on both sides.

    6k tickets available, which is a decent number. Should be a good day out.

    I suppose Everton v West Ham will at least be a competitive game but Arsenal v Hull is just dull and only on as its a repeat of the FA Cup final.

    Might as well had Burnley v Spurs..

    As for Chelsea prices - pretty expensive I think for a 3rd round tie.

    It's at Chelsea. What were you expecting, £10 a ticket?

    Also don't forget Watford will have had to agree to those prices...

    Fair point!

    Big difference between London prices and those elsewhere.

    Half the price of a league match. Just shows what a rip off Premier League football is. Well, most football really.

    Remember having to pay £60 (well my old man did actually) for Chelsea away in the last Premier Leagues season, only to see Didier Drogba destroy our defence.

    At least it will only be £30 to see that this time round. Gotta take the positives...

    I reckon about 144,000 of the finest sterling pounds you can find.

    All the hardcore fans will travel to Cardiff on the 28th which will not be many as it takes about 8 hours of driving or travel with delays and being xmas.Hope all the plastics enjoy this one,claiming to be real football fans for 1 day.Last time when we lost 5-0 at Chelsea was one of the most embarrassing days ever seeing faces I have never seen at a game in the last 30 odd years of going.This game should only be available to season ticket holders only no flask holders or backpackers or day trippers.
