Just seen it confirmed on the NCFC officail web-site that the game is to shown on BBC at 12.30 on Saturday 6th January.

I suspected it would be on and it''s good news for those who can''t go or can''t get tickets....

David, is this special access you are able to achieve in Hong Kong via satellite or internet, or does the television channel there simply pick up UK football on BBC etc? I normally am able to watch Premiership football and some FA cup games on the package I pay for as part of Fox Sports Channel in the United States but I am not at all sure this one will be carried.

That is indeed good news. I now have the choice of watching the match whilst enjoying a few beers down the pub, or over a nice cup of tea or something stronger at home.

[Delias Buns 0]

excellent news, i look forward to watching us in the comfort of my own armchair!

dont mean to be negative, but i wonder if the old "if we''re on TV we lose" idea will come into effect....

[7rew 0]

If were on tv we lose is due to the evil that is rupert murdoch however.maybe we can win on auntie

The BBc has chosen this game simply because it wants to see an FA Cup ''giant killing.'' What does that say about how NCFC are currently viewed in the game?

[O.T.B.C 0]

Great, that means we will play pants and then we will lose as we always do.

I see the Doomcaster is rubbing has hands because it''ll mena we may "balance the books for the cup" with a TV date.

Does that man ever get excited about anything other than a balance sheet.

I bet he''s legendary between the sheets.....over to someone else to find out!!

[Shack Attack 0]

Excellent news, the jug eared crisp salesman and his cronies are dusting off the big book of cookery cliches as we speak.

Oh and this isn''t a dig at Delia, I just hate the BBC''s football coverage!

"The BBc has chosen this game simply because it wants to see an FA Cup

It means we are viewed as GIANTS.

The choice is more to do with the fact that tamworth are the lowest

ranked club that are guarenteed to be in the third round, also the have

a reputation for doing well against teams from much higher leagues (ie

stoke last year).

Great News!!  £150,000 for being on the tv!! And I get to see us whop some amateurs.

[San Miguel 0]

Let''s face it - the rest of the country sees Norwich and Norfolk as a joke, in the same way they do the West Country and other remote places.

No doubt Linekar and Co will be thinking up pathetic cliches and steretypes as we speak but, despite the poor jokes, I think the BBC''s coverage is far far better than Sky or ITV.

Sky''s commentators and analysts don''t seem to know anything about presentation

and ITV no longer employ football people to do the job. Plus David Ple-at has to be the most annoying commentator ever. I love to hate him!

[Hucka Hucka Huckerby 0]

This game has bannana skin written all over it. I predict a loss & lot''s of piss taking from Ipswich fans & my Villa fan boss who comes from just outside Tamworth!!

I agree Bruce I have a horrible feeling we are going to lose this one. Norwich away from home and on telly, with those tw  things stacked against them they would have trouble beating an under 15''s B side

don''t forget 1st division teams Hartlepool away, and Bournemouth away in the 2nd and 1st rounds respectively last year.

all ''giant killings'' as far as we''re concerned. We''re only part-time remember. Some of our lads have day jobs like the rest of us mere-mortals, so even getting to a mid week game, or training sessions is an achievment for some !

although its a good area of the country for us to play away this season. both Brum and West Brom fell upon our very blunt sword so you never know [;)]

[Pete Raven 276]

Of course, the downside to the game being on TV means I now have to leave at 7.30am to get there...

Moan...moan...moan. And I thought it was it was just us '' Joe Public '' posters who were allowed to do that ......

My heart bleeds for you Pete. Of course if you wanted to be really stylish you''d drive up there and watch it on TV in a pub in the town.........

[XXL16 0]

No, HK Now Broadband TV have the right to broadcast FA Cup game in HK...

[XXL16 0]

Correct me if I am wrong. This time is absolutely a banana skin for us and if we lose, our season is over surely.

But anyway I go for a draw, it is moreover to be happen! Of course most importantly we need to see Earnie and Hucks played after last season against WHU...

[Pete Raven 276]

I''m not a morning person Smith must score...

[Mister Chops 7]

Oh come on, what''s the matter with you?  We could well do a Sutton United on them, and stamp on any chance of a post-Xmas slump straight away.   Thorne might even score.

My sympathies if you''re not a morning person ......I''ve been married to one for 27 years !!

I also realise that you''re not a moaning person but I''m puzzled in that my wife says, strangely by co-incidence, she''s been married to one for exactly the same amount of time..........
