    Our FA Cup Game has been switched to Sunday December 7 with a 2pm kick-off.

    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.

    I have to say I'm not impressed with cup ties moving to Sunday just for "Final Score" - TV rules football these days

    TV has actually improved the interest in football, years ago it was thought to be the death nail.

    Gates nationally were rising from 1990 onwards. TV jumped on the back of an already increasing interest in football.

    When sky got the football I started going again. Would rather spend my cash going to see it live rather than paying them for it

    The egg chasers are supposed to be playing on the Sunday we've been moved to. One of us has to move and I'd rather it be us.
