How is it an odd choice? You know how ITV generate the income to pay for them buying FA Cup rights?

Yes, advertising revenue. And as much as people on here seem to deny it, Wrexham after the takeover and documentary will attract a bigger tv audience & therefore higher advertising revenue than if ITV had picked Chippenham v Lincoln or Weymouth v AFC Wimbledon which were the pick of the non league hosting EFL not on TV matches.


People seem to think that TV companies exist to be a charity for lower league football clubs rather than provide content that viewers want to watch. We all love an underdog to win, but most people couldn't care less about watching Chippenham Town vs Lincoln City. Like it or not, people are interested in Wrexham. They're the closest Football team to me and people who have never been interested in football except when England do well were talking about watching that game.

There were 80 teams playing in Round 1. Probably about half of them will complain about the lack of coverage. I am quite happy being under the radar, don't want our best players being poached

That goes without saying but they managed to discuss other matches involving league teams and I thought it was crass of them not to say a few words about the highest team in the round being thrashed.


I agree I thought that was an oversight, but I’m really not @rsed.

To be honest, I was a bit drunk off with the coverage on the highlights show yesterday.

Having to wait until very close to the end of the programme and then to have absolutely nothing else said after was a bit excrement I thought, considering we'd dicked who were the best team in the competition at the time. (Going on league position)

In the interest of playing devils advocate here, I believe the OPs beef was that a mid table league 2 team just only just promoted from the NL absolutely smashed the high flying leaders of league 1 and all we got was a highlight of the goals and no discussion about the game.
Now, for me, our result was as worthy as any result during the round 1 fixtures and the fact it got no time from the pundits does leave a bad taste in mu mouth.

A highlights package of a match using only a single camera doesn’t make for great telly. It’s nothing more than that.
