Why are we playing Sunday?

[BFC76]

I notice Notts County aren't playing at home on Saturday and so is there any logical reason why we're playing on Sunday?

 

[poolfc]

No idea. I thought it might be something to do with the FA selling world broadcasting rights meaning there's a split of cup games over the weekend now on different days and times and this one just got picked for a Sunday 2pm slot.

That’s correct - for overseas broadcasting apparently.

if it's overseas why can it not just remain 3pm Sat?

Does that mean there is a link?

 

[poolseasider]

They've started doing it a few years ago splitting Sat and Sunday Fa Cup games now they've added Thurs,Fri,Mon!

All about trying to milk out every tiny bit of juice of cash for the FA.

Lost all it's charm and charisma and become a second rate competition not even taken seriously by the big boys.

If you have a bet365 account, it will be on a stream there. Fairly sure you’d have to have some funds in the account to watch though
