[Stranded]

Pretty slim pickings from a TV perspective there. The more interesting ties are ties between teams in the same division where one has just been relegated - Luton-Norwich and Sunderland-Hull

Would've thought Derby v Barrow would be a shoe-in for TV coverage.

Possibly Harrogate as well - both games would have been more interesting* if the draw was reversed mind.

Oh yeah, for sure.

Newport v Swansea is a probable for the telly, but games remaining on the weekend of 5th September will most likely be ignored in favour of Nations League games

*Wayne Rooney’s Derby

Agree with Suketh though, can see Newport Swansea being chosen

[Silver Fox]

Have Leeds not got a friendly they could televise that day?

[SouthDownsRoyal]

They will just live stream Elland Road in case something of interest happens

I suppose the Wayne Rooney love fest will replace the Leeds obsession in the Championship now (except 12th September of course).

Brentford v Wycombe has been picked (as you might expect with it being the first game in their new stadium) and Walsall v Sheff Wed for reasons I’m not so sure on.
