FA Cup 24-25

[Leicesterpool]

I'm glad the Burton v Tamworth is a now game now, great opportunity to go.

[Daggers]

Well the TV quids will make up for the likely exit to Donny. Their away form is going to take some beating.

[Daggers]

Guess Sandro’s already left Harbs now they aren’t on TV.

[Seventyseven]

Nope, due at the game tomorrow as a spectator. Currently on a two game ban.

Worst of all worlds for Harborough. Not on TV, but no Saturday 3pm either. Same with the Staffordshire derby.

 

Really poor from the broadcasters not to pick at least one of them.

That’s a big negative. Yes we wanted on it on TV but had a feeling it wouldn’t be due to Readings low crowds and issues.

 

But nothing is dampening this, Harborough Town in the FA Cup second round is immense and we can’t wait to go to a side in the prem not too long ago.

 

Around 500 went to Tonbridge (with tremendous backing) and reckon we could double that for this one.

I think the Sunday games get some sort of coverage on the BBC highlights show later that evening so is there a bit of money involved?

Extended highlights on the Sunday evening and selected for overseas coverage (according to Reading?!). But have not seen any mention of money on offer.

No idea if TV money is being arranged for this, but the losers get £20k from the FA alone......these cup runs are a God send for non-league clubs.

I’m just looking forward to us signing another 12 ex-prem strikers with the windfall!

Harbs taking a crowd

 

 

[CosbehFox]

Clubs got £12k for extended highlights or £5k for overseas coverage (was £5k for Charlton v Coalville a couple of years ago)

Significantly more than we made in Gate receipts after Charlton's expenses were accounted for as well.

That's got massive cup upset potential. There'll be more away fans than home I'd imagine.

Actually think Harborough will be pleased just to score a goal at a club like that, even if they lose by a bit.

Hope Kettering and Harborough get a proper slapping, entering my heel era

Reading have a league game on the Tuesday that isn’t moving. They will likely play some fringe players in this. Probably will still be too strong, but you never know. 

[blueharmie]

2000 for reading but we get 400 on a weekend. 

Fa cup and all that.

Amazing achievement to actually reach this stage. I reckon we'll take 3k in the end.

 

Be alot of day trippers .

 

That Tonbridge match was the best away day I've ever had.unreal.

Not sure what's wrong with that though? If it gets people into following the club more then I don't see the problem?

 

Just good to see a bit of pride in the town given how diluted its identity's become in recent years.

No, nothing wrong , agree it's good for the club. Hopefully they turn up at home for a few more games which long term will help the club.

Yep, definitely. Just a shame the ground's not more central - reckon they'd average gates in the high hundreds if Symo's was a proper ground, for example.

Yeah possibly right on location, but southern estate within reach.

 

Harborough definitely need more advertising in the town. Like a bus to the ground for free on match days ?

 

To get where we have got to in recent years is outstanding.
