First two games pick themselves, no issues.
The latter two are very poor picks.

Does that mean we have a 3 o'clock kickoff on a Saturday?

First reaction was either the panel were all Man Utd fans who can only watch the side sat in their front room, followed by the accepting that it is in fact outstanding trolling by them. Can only assume the thought process went along the lines of "I know lets see if the football world will watch a side struggling along mid table in League 1 away against the most boring side in the Premiership who struggle to reach 0 never mind 1 in the goal stats. With luck we will be on the Saturday at 3 and us fans will actually be too busy celebrating to bother with the effort of switching the TV on.

The last FA Cup game involving Man Utd NOT to be televised live as their 0-0 draw with Exeter in January 2005, so it really shouldn't he a huge surprise to see them selected. Again. Well it will allow even more people to see what crap football they are playing under Van Gaal.

Live on BBC Wales with a midday kick off on Sunday.. Not good news for the local pubs. Or the crowd .... I wonder if they will bring far fewer supporters due to this?

Normal league prices apply as well. Will make it a big earner if it's a large crowd. Lounge tickets works out at £22 a game with a season ticket, will be £36 for Swansea if it's match day price.

Chelsea v Orient/Scunthorpe at 2pm on the Sunday is also being shown on BT Sport. The FA official site doesn't mention the BBC Wales coverage though.

Our website says it's being shown live on S4C Swansea site says BBC Wales.
Any ideas of the difference/which is right?

The OUFC site say it is live on S4C in Wales. Channel 134 on SKY is S4C. Does this mean I can watch live or do I have to be in Wales?

The BBC Wales one (i.e. the regional programming for BBC viewers in Wales when they go off to "news in your area") appears to be the correct one.

Yeah its on TV, but its like being on Setanta Sports in the Conference. Once you get over the fact its on TV, you realise how annoying and rubbish it is. I can't see many away fans coming along if they can watch it on TV for free.

I can only see it being a positive with it being on TV. It's not going to stop many home fans attending if they really want to come and Swansea fans will still come as they are use to early kick offs and their games being on TV seeing as they are in a league in which Sky puts games when they like.

£48k to be on bbc Wales ain't a bad consolation prize though Not enough. With"spends" in the gound say £30pp,so if the crowd is 1,600 down on what it would be,we lose,can see there support being down massively.
