TV Ties

Non-League Quartet Handed Replay Pay Days

THE Second Round replays between Mansfield Town and Lincoln City and and Harrogate Town will be show live on television next week.

The Stags and Imps drew 3-3 at the weekend to secure a place in Sunday’s draw and were rewarded with a huge potential Third Round tie at home to Liverpool.

Both will be desperate to set up a clash with the Premier League big boys, which should make for a cracking game when the two sides meet at Field Mill next Wednesday evening.

The game, which kicks off at 7.45pm, will be shown live on ESPN.

Ryman Premier Division side Hastings United are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition but managed to come away with a 1-1 draw when they faced Conference North outfit Harrogate on Saturday.

They welcome Town to Pilot Field for the replay next Thursday, December 13, and ESPN will be there screening all the action live.

The winner of that tie will make a trip to Championship high-fliers Middlesbrough in Round Three.

As well as the national exposure and boost for club profile, all four clubs will receive a live television fee of £34,100.

Winning sides also pocket £27,000 from The FA’s prize fund.
