FA Cup R4 Draw | Leyton Orient (A) | Sat 8 Feb 12:15 | Live on BBC One

Just thinking about BBC justification for the kick off time.

Wouldn't be surprised if we stayed in London after the Arsenal game to prepare for it.
With extra time they need to be a bit earlier.

If it was a late kick off there would be moaning, and if it wasn't picked for TV there would be even more moaning.

The kick off time slots are agreed in advance at Clubs are happy to take the cash to play whenever, and even if not on TV they can be moved.
 
On the Friday
I'm thinking of doing exactly that, and staying overnight at my nephew's house in Acton.
Just had a quick look at Avanti Trains fares for Friday/ return Saturday and at the moment it's only £50 return.
Would I have a chance of getting a ticket with it being an early Kickoff time ?
I have 9500 points and I'm on the FA Cup Scheme.
 
Apologies if answered previously but any idea of allocation? Assuming circa 1k?

Well you have saved your train fare and your time.
You have no chance of a ticket off your loyalty points.
We will be lucky to see 600 tickets go too loyalty point holders

Thanks for your reply pal.
I suspected that I probably wouldn't have enough points, particularly with Orient only having a small ground
but I am not too disappointed,I will just have to stay at home and watch it on the BBC.
