FA Cup R3 - Port Vale (H) - Sat 04/01 - 5:31pm

Last year because of overseas TV deals is the year they ruined the Third Round because only 10 games kicked off on Saturday 3pm, so there's a large chance we could end up on Sunday but not on TV.

The TV slots for the Third Round last year were split (3 BBC, 3 BT Sport)

Friday 7.45pm
Saturday 12.30pm
Saturday 5.30pm
Sunday 2pm
Sunday 4.30pm
Monday 7.45pm

So it will be similar again this year.

Liverpool-Everton will be on either Sunday or Monday, as they play on the Thursday before.
Wolves-Utd will be on as well.

The Friday timeslot may not happen this year, as there is a PL programme on the Wednesday. It's possible that they'll pick lower league matches for it.
 
Played Vale a few times back it the 90’s, so they’re not newbies for us older buggers. Remember playing them in a night game and a few tried to take liberties on Claremont Road, only to scarper when the Beehive lot realised what was going on.
 
I would hazard a guess that the TV games will be:

Liverpool v Everton either Sunday 4.30pm or Monday night, as Liverpool have a league game on Thursday.
Wolves v Man Utd, Arsenal v Leeds, Rochdale/Boston v Newcastle, Gillingham v West Ham & Sheff Utd v AFC Fylde.

the interesting one will be if they have one on Friday night because the PL teams play Wednesday/Thursday so they may just have an extra TV slot on Saturday/Sunday (though they'll probably just stick us on Friday night to screw us).
 
Went to Vale when Clive Allen scored the winner.
Was that the one where the match balls kept going into our end and we kept them all until they ran out of balls then we threw about eight back on the pitch at once?
