    "City’s FA Cup second round tie with either Basingstoke Town or AFC Telford United will be played on Sunday, December 7th (2pm) at Ashton Gate.

    The fixture will be part of the BBC Final Score programme, which provides viewers with regular on-screen updates and goal clips from eight cup ties.

    City will discover which of the non-league sides they will host next Tuesday, when Telford and Basingstoke contest their replay. The first tie ended 1-1 in Basingstoke.

    Goals from Greg Cunningham and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas secured City’s progress at Gillingham in the first round.

    City will receive a fee of £12,500 from the FA Cup’s TV revenue pot.

    Not happy about this. £12,500 is nothing compared to the revenue lost from fans deciding not to go or who can't go due to it being on Sunday.
    I believe Bristol Rugby have a game then so one of us will have to play another time, hopefully us.
    I'd rather the BBC used the TV money to have live games, not ****e clippets from 8.
