Just been on the Coventry forum. They are not impressed.

Five games were televised last year. That's 5 of 8.

Assuming it's the same number this year who would be your 5...

Sheffield Wednesday v Notts County/Swansea
West Brom v Southampton
Chelsea v Hull
Leicester v Sheffield United
Huddersfield/Birmingham v Manchester United
Millwall/Rochdale v Newport County or Tottenham
Brighton v Coventry
Wigan v Manchester City

Any idea in the time slots mate? Is it 1 Friday, 1 sat lunch, 1 evening and 2 Sunday?

I would have thought £10 could be a good call. Any more than that and it will be half empty.

Which on previous experience may be exactly what they want- it’s less hassle to run the place when less people turn up I guess. #lazy

£20 including travel and the Amex will be bursting.

Great draw. I just hope the club learn from their mistake of round 3 and make tickets £15 max. That should ensure a big crowd.

TV won’t be able to resist Utd, City, Spurs, Chelsea so one from the remaining four. Probably WBA v Southampton as it’s all premier league.

The BIG4 pick themselves.

Leicester v Sheff Utd as well, I reckon.

Will gauge the opinion at work but I'd have thought it would be a great tie for them seeing as it's a weekend on the coast. I have a feeling they'd have preferred another west mids team though maybe.

I confidently predict we will NOT be one of the games chosen for tv, in my view we would be the least attractive game for tv
