Did see that on the other post a link had been put up for the draw In case you have missed it these are the televised games Personally thinks its a decent choice, apart from the Palace v Spurs The FA Cup fourth-round tie between Arsenal and Manchester United will be live on BBC One on Friday, 25 January. Also BBC: Millwall v Everton (Saturday, 17:30 GMT) and Chelsea v Sheffield Wednesday or Luton (Sunday, 18:00) also live. BT There are four live fourth-round games on BT Sport: Accrington v Derby or Southampton (12:30 on 26 January), AFC Wimbledon v West Ham (19:45 on 26 January), Crystal Palace v Tottenham (27 January at 16:00) and Barnet v Brentford (19:45 on 28 January).

I wonder whether they need to get things in place early because if we get through (and I know its a long shot) I would have thought we would have been a shoe in. Local(ish) game with a top flight side visiting a club down the leagues. I reckon we certainly trump Barnet against Brentford anyhow. Rum. And from what I can see it'll have to be some online stream again next Tuesday, we're not on the box against Stoke.

Personally thinks its a decent choice, apart from the Palace v Spurs Chelsea v Sheffield Wednesday or Luton is another strange choice for me. Had it been Chelsea playing away it would have made more sense. Like Man United v Reading in the last round, which was equally uninteresting, this is probably all about TV audience figures.

What a shame these have already been decided.

The TV fee for a televised 4th round game would be very significant though, it was £144,000 last season.

40 years on from when we last played Wolves in the cup we face them again.

lets not forget that its a massive derby for us but before we have a go at the tv companies this wasn't fixture likely to happen and for a neutral its probably about as interesting as if Rochdale were to be drawn against Huddersfield

AT HOME , to Sheffield Wednesday . At least it’s on a Sunday at prime time to fall asleep . Might nip to get some paint in the morning before the game , slap some on the wall and then watch it dry , and alternate between the 2 .

Mind you, that game was so dull perhaps they’ve learnt

Stoke or Shrewsbury at home to Wolves was win win , Lower league side at home to a prem team . And a local derby no matter which team won . As for Chelsea v sheff wednesday Or Luton , doesn’t really appeal to me . Also , after wolves showing in round 3 , Seeing how much they take the cup seriously , would of thought it would have been a good choice .

It's all about viewing figures, if we get a fifth round tie at home, we'll be sound.

Will the Beeb not be moving any games to the Sunday for the "conference" coverage? Or does that only happen in the first two rounds? Pretty confident that although we haven't been selected for UK coverage someone will pick this game up...pretty sure those who won't be at the game (not too many of us I assume ) will be able to watch the game...

What's worrying me, is where are we going to stash all the money that's coming in? As well as a share last nights gate, there's a £135.000 third round winners cheque and a sell out against Wolves. No doubt the Sovereign Sweet will be packed unless we can put people off sponsoring the game.
