I think 6/8 of the fifth round matches are on TV

Which must make it fairly likely we are. Leeds big following and Farke story a good one. Just hope we don't get the Friday or Monday slots.

Newcastle v Man City must be top pick and either Saturday lunchtime or Sunday late afternoon.

Wrexham v Chelsea likely second pick and the slot from above not taken.

Mansfield v Arsenal and the chance of an upset or more likely big win for Arsenal could be the Monday night and where the quarter final draw will be made.

Wolves v Liverpool the Friday night, TV seems to love Liverpool.

I would think we are the next most interesting game, just hope for the Saturday later kick off and should be possible to get there from Bristol and stay over. For us not to be on TV (assuming all of this is right) then two of Fulham v Southampton; Port Vale or Bristol City v Sunderland;or
West Ham v Brentford would have to be picked over us. If Port Vale win (I don't think they will) maybe for the upset but can't see another.
