Poo. I only have freeview.

I think you can buy Setanta on freeview. Check out their website. You may even be able to do it on a one game basis.

[Billy Castell]

True, but I'm too tight.

[roversmum]

Mum dont worry,we going to win 8-0 :-)

Doesn't matter anyway. We're sure to get drawn against Arsenal next round...

[Amo]

Why did they give the FA Cup to ITV anyway? Their coverage is pants, they only have one decent commentator, and all you see is Andy Townsend trying to grab two minutes of analysis before another ad-break.

And why the hell aren't they covering our game!? Good for nuthins...

Maybe because Setanta are?

So?

Not sure if anyone on here is going tomorrow, but this was posted on official:

Hi,

I would like to introduce myself.

My name is Colin Corner and I am Secretary and bar chairman of Blyth Rugby Club.

The club is situation on Plessey Road around 200 yards from the Blyth Spartans ground

You will be made to feel very welcome if you would like to join us for a drink on Monday, especially since we a Rugby Club and therefore are not partisan towards Blyth Spartans.

We can cater for around 200 people in 2 rooms, we have Sky and Setanta on TV.

We have ample car parking space and can open up whenever you guys want us to.

Beer prices are considerably cheaper than the Joiners, Masons, etc.

The Bournemouth Fans came in last time and had a great time.

If you need any more info reply to this post and I will give you more details.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday

Best Regards and Good Luck

Colin Corner

They are doing some food as well

How quality is that, think my group will be going there! What time are people thinking about getting up there?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

They seem to be a very hospitable bunch, don't they? If they weren't playing us I'd be rooting for them.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Make no mistake, Blyth's team and fans will be fired up with the prospect of a Derby with Sunderland......be careful with any scratch squad Rovers!

[bennyboyt11]

CMON ROVERS!

Graham Fenton talking to the BBC about the tie.

[RevidgeBlue]

Is there any chance of it being called off due to a frozen pitch?

Let's hope not - just found where we're going for tea!

Fish and Chips in Whitley Bay ...

edit - BBC forecast - sunshine all day, a high of 5 C and a low of only -1 ... if they can't get the game on in those conditions there's something wrong ... plus they won't want to risk losing the TV money. Game on I say.

[dingles staying down 4ever]

i know Roversmum told me be to be quiet, but I've still got a very bad feeling about today's game.

Anyone else or isit the lurgy that everyone has had?

The game will be on.

It rained last night, and it is cold, but no frost or ice this morning.

As it's a televised game the FA have provided pitch covers, which must be on the pitch for the 3 days run up to the game.

If needed later the club have pitch heaters.

[Nelsonfan]

Nervous for some reason about this game! I've just got a horrible feeling it could all go pear shaped........ Not able to make the game, but looking forward to seeing it on the television tonight (I think!).

[waggy]

[den]

No weather worries.

[whittle blue]

Stop worrying. We'll win - easily.

[jonv]

i'm flying over from australia for this one and am staying at the blyth arms so hopefully a win will keep the cold out of my blue and white heart!

[Mike Graham]

No weather worries.

thank goodness; the Leyland boys (no girls ) will be going barechested at Blyth tonight.

Have you got the right Blyth? We don't have a Blyth Arms

[philipl]

Sam throwing down the gauntlet!

There is a Blyth in Nottinghamshire and a Blyth in Suffolk but I don't think either of them have a Blyth Arms either. Perhaps its a grandly named park bench?

Hadn't you better get a move on?
