Don't think so - last season the replay TV money was exactly half the amount paid for the non-replay.

Sigh.
We've made seven changes when we haven't played the previous Saturday. How many do you think he will play when we have ?

The same applies this season , just over £100k can't be sniffed at.

Another game to look forward to. Another night of football.

All be it another game on TV - Due to UEFA rules and two big games for both sides, rotation will be enforced. Shame

The priority will be the Wigan game but just as well that's played first then. I think we can still play a strong team on Monday provided the players don't pick up niggles. I dont buy this idea that players cant play two games in three days given we can adjust the training regimen.

The argument to do away with FA Cup replays is highlighted by situations like this. The FA may well have to consider this at some stage.

Could not agree more. I think both clubs, managers and the majority of the supporters would have rather seen this tie settled tonight - one way or another.

Just skimmed through this thread, is it confirmed to be shown on itv?
If it is played on the Monday it will completely devalue it as a contest, and by extension the FA Cup itself. Why can't it be played on a Champions League night, neither us or Hull are in that competition? I'm really angry about this, football has really lost its way if this is the case. TV cannot dictate to this extent surely?

Hope so. Roll the dice with the fringe players and DS on Monday. Throw everything at Wigan on Sat.

If UEFA actually have pathetic rules in place stating that clubs not involved in the Champions League can nonetheless not play important games on Champions League nights, then presumably there must be some sort of penalty in place for when an association or clubs violate that.
What are they going to do, ban us from Europe?

Probably.
It will be on TV, just no idea who will be showing it yet, certainly wont be ITV1, more like ITV4. Sheffield Weds vs Charlton is also affected by UEFAs pathetic rules.
