St Albans is a fun non-league trip from London. Went a couple of times when I lived in the capital. Good honest old stadium.

You know, hypothetically, I'm not even sure a Bristol derby would get selected for TV. It would stand a chance, but given the current state of the two clubs I doubt it would get top billing. Maybe tucked away on BBC red button or BT Sport 3 maybe?

Yeh if it did happen you could easily see our draw being surpassed by other fixtures.

Probably all moot as we'll get Blackburn away or similar i expect.

Hate same div fixtures in the cup.

I reckon City v Rovers would be televised.

There's a strong case certainly, and don't get me wrong - I think it should be televised.

First Bristol derby since 2013, first FA Cup meeting since 1984, a plucky lower league club taking on a Championship stalwart, even some begrudging 'celebrity' attention via Mr. Barton. But given that the Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, and Chelsea games are guaranteed, plus normally one or two all-Prem games, plus the winner of tonight will get on, as well as probably Harrogate...that only leaves 3 or 4 slots. Probably all moot because it'll be QPR away, but it would be interesting to see.

Have a sneaky feeling we are getting Plymouth (a)

Wouldn't be televised, but I'd enjoy seeing how we fared against Lowe's team.

I really feel playing the Sags would galvanise the club a bit. Think we need like a big game moment as I'm sure most feel it the club just feels really dull and dreary at the moment.

On the other hand I wouldn't trust these players to beat them, home or away. So a nice league 1 team to lose to please.

Wouldn't fancy our chances against any lower league team to be honest, I see we have Fulham on the Saturday after the Cup round, watch us draw Fulham, we will draw that and end up playing them 3 times in a row ?‍♂️

Got the lottery numbers?

Didn’t we get Rotherham in both cups one year, as well as playing them in the league?

Not sure if it was Rotherham but I remember us playing Gillingham 5 times in one season.

Twice in the league, once in the FA Cup first round and twice in the Southern Area Final of the Paint Pot Cup.
