Very few times over the PL era that beeb have not shown the red shit. Amazes me that nothing is made of the fact that they never play non televised in this competition and mainly, its the beeb who show them. Fucks me off but they won't be troubling the engravers

Maybe not but that's still a bigger share of the tv rights, isn't it? Bit like they've always had from PL live games......it all adds up in the end.

Of course many of us remember days when that draw would've meant apprehension and probably exit

In fact most draws......

I did shudder when Bear mentioned Shrewsbury, my mind immediately cast back 30 odd years!

Or just when we were starting go places, losing to Sheffield helped on by balloons brought along by our own fans

Was it Hereford who did us once or twice ?

No Carl....we had some disasters but can't think of one where Hereford were our executioners.
They did famously beat Leeds in the FA Cup.
The Hereford crowd's celebrations are often show on TV around FA Cup time.
Almost every kid who invaded the pitch was wearing a snorkel jacket.

It was Newcastle they beat in that FA Cup tie.
Mind you, my memory's just as bad, I could have sworn it was Arsenal.

You're correct PB. I always remembered it being Leeds...says a lot for my aging memory.
Anyway Carl Mate....rest easy...It wasn't City
