Or when will the FA announce what games are moving? I work on Sunday's so I need to book the day off quickly if we're playing on a Sunday.

it'd be this coming week I should think, BBC will get 1 or 2 games live aswell I believe (if they still hold the rights for the 3rd round and onwards)

'ove actually
I think that Sky and BBC choose games they want to show and move them to Friday Eve, Sat noon, Sat Eve, Sun noon and Sun PM.

The FA then moves the remainder of the games around so that they don't clash. e.g. Bristol City and Bristol Rovers at home on the same day.

That would happen early next week. I don't think Sky/BBC would care too much about the fixtures that concearn replays:

Swindon/Notts Co v Middlesbrough
Reading v Stockport/Swansea
Luton v Hinckley/Brentford

It will be announced by tomorrow what the Live fixtures will be on Sky/BBC. Its always the day after the draw

As it stands I don't think it will be a live game unless it is moved on police advice as a lot of the London teams are drawn home.
Some tasty ties instead - such as Burnley v L'Pool, Ipswich v Bolton and Watford v Fulham.

More than likely be MOTD

Another thing that people should remember is that SPURS/ARSENAL/CHELSEA have all got home ties....no way will the Met Police all three games to be played at the same time, or even the same day (will definately not Spurs and Arsenal) so don't expect a 3.00pm saturday afternoon kick off boys and girls ;)

There were FOUR live 3rd round games last season on BBC & Sky... If it's the same again this year i would expect these to be the four...


Yeading v Newcastle
Oldham v Man City
Sheff Utd v Aston Villa
Ipswich v Bolton
