The match will be on BT Sport on the sunday with a 1.30pm kick off

What a pisser. That means a required Saturday night stay on Merseyside if going by train.

Expensive. Poor ko time really.

Even if Nooport turn out to be uber shit and Argo fluke it, there's no way i'm going to the GNS to watch the binners reserves stick six past our Poundland Pro's.

BT Sport and the BBC have revealed the FA Cup third round games they will broadcast live on television.

The FA Cup draw took place on Monday with holders Manchester United being drawn against Jaap Stam's Reading.

The encounter will see Stam return to Old Trafford, where he helped the club win the treble in 1999, and the game is one of six to be broadcast live.

United's game will be shown live on BT Sport, who are also broadcasting ties involving Arsenal, Liverpool and Leeds.

The BBC, meanwhile, will show West Ham vs Manchester City and Tottenham vs Aston Villa.
List of games being shown live on TV:

West Ham vs Manchester City (January 6 - 7.55pm - BBC)

Manchester United vs Reading (January 7 - 12.30pm - BT Sport)

Preston vs Arsenal (January 7 - 5.30pm - BT Sport)

Liverpool vs Newport/Plymouth (January 8, 1.30pm - BT Sport)

Tottenham vs Aston Villa (January 8 - 4pm - BBC)

Cambridge vs Leeds (January 9 - 7.45pm- BT Sport)

Oh think of all that cash Jimmy could rake in..

Perhaps a million for a good cup run? Hell, he might lash out on a third urinal for the new Far Post portakabin, or a jonny machine to help Chris Plebb work his way through rest of the floozy's hanging around the players lounge.

Don't forget the extra box or pork scratchings for fatty!

If we beat Newport it is worth £144,000 in the TV broadcast fees from the Liverpool game! The Newport game and a win is now worth £204,000 plus gate receipts from the Anfield game. All if's

I think Newport will be well up for the replay.  Already reeling from previous defeats, there's big money at stake.  Think Exeter a few years back and how a lucrative tie made a difference.  The Newport BoD will be all over this.  Our BoD are thinking 2020.

As an aside, I'm happy with the Sunday KO time and the fact it's televised. Sadly no bins to rummage for the County stub twin, I have attended 3 and half games though

Look, it's only an idea. If we lose up at Newport, couldn't we still have the half and half scarves as a momento of our (nearly) greatest day out.

I hope the club release a DVD after our glorious FA cup run - The Road to Newport.

Time for Derek to earn his money with all these financial rewards at stake, let alone running the risk of upsetting the reluctant one and his hoards of faithful followers.
