At halftime in the City v Chelsea tie the draw for the 4th round was shown and we were not in it. We were the 6th ball out away to Ipswich all of the other ties were in order but our tie wasn't even there, buy a license I don't think so.

Perhaps they have given us a bye to Round 5 ?

Mike O'Leary and Richard Sharp have been friends for years but Mike snubbed Richards request to get exec box tickets for the boxing day clash against Oxford.

Apparently there was a big fall out and Richard told Mike that Ipswich will never appear on the BBC in an FA Cup fixture list again whilst he is chairman of the BBC

It's probably because Barnsley were knocked out earlier in the day.

Bloody Tory BBC....
Anyway, no worries, we're on the website and, yup, it's still Ipswich away.

Only selected ties were shown on the graphic.

I don't know why they couldn't just show the whole draw on the graphic though.

At the top of the list it said selected ties.Looks like the BBC don’t see our game as one they would pick for tv.

Don't think there's much chance we'll be on TV.

Why not, tiny minnow at home to one of the biggest clubs in Europe, TV loves a giant killing and this would be the mother of them all, potentially.
