Class of 92

Fabulous two-part documentary, fantastic game with an absolutely stunning goal.
Proper football with proper players.
Really looking forward to their next game, which hopefully they'll win before being drawn away to United in the third round!

Come on the Ammies, Salford sticking it to another league Club again tonight, looks like another Blood n guts performance.
I'd say 50/50 at the moment..
 
Another very enjoyable game.
Plenty of grit and some tough tackling albeit without much quality in blustery conditions.
Also imo a good refereeing performance letting the game flow.
 
I get that the BBC feel the need to follow up and show them again but it really is a shame that the one side at that level that doesnt need the tv money is getting it not once, but multiple times, theres definitely sides who really could do with the coverage and need the tv fee still in at this stage but dont fit the bbcs agenda

I'd argue it is more to do with getting viewers. If you feature lower level teams there has to be a story somewhere, a hook to get the viewers interested. And like it or not Salford have a story.

Are the Beeb not using the owners and enhance interest in a non league club as cheap publicity to gain extra viewers?
Also looking at draw other fixtures to show Welling v Carlisle?

Totally agree with this.

Another non league side could have benefitted greatly from the money generated by a TV appearance. The Beeb still would have got viewers for a clash featuring a different side.
 
BBC has historically tried to chase upsets, "magic of the cup" and all that has it not?

Would argue tonight's game fits that profile perfectly. Not sure there is another tie that would have such a good 'upset potential' (but happy to be proved wrong)

The fact that it's Salford, and all that entails, just makes it an easy target to have a pop at.

Enjoyed the game. Wouldn't have watched it if had been some non-league club I've never heard of. Showing that there's life past the sterile PL is to be applauded I would think?

Colchester United v Altrincham. An almost guaranteed away win with the way we've been playing.

No it wasn't. It was a great result. Trying to decide whether I'd prefer a home draw against one of the big teams in the 3rd round and hope to receive the TV money or to get a smaller team and hope to get a cup run going. I think at the minute I'd prefer a Premier League club at home and hope we get shown live on TV and then we can get knocked out and concentrate on not getting relegated.

Our cup run will be over and we can concentrate on mid table anonimity at best
