Ooooh, ever fancied converting it to DVD?

I remember the goals, someone scolding me for premature celebrations, and the police escorting us back to the coach, but no more. I would love to see it .

Just going back to the original link to the twitter message and the reference to "live overseas" coverage...does anybody have any more information on this? Is there a possibility of a live feed directly from the game that can be picked up online? Just seems strange that anywhere outside of the UK is going to be watching the FA cup 1st round.

League rules won't allow games to be shown live in Britain unless someone pays them (Television fee). Rangers have their own television channel showing every game live if you live outside Britain or after midnight if you live in Britain.

The Birmingham game is available from the club shop on DVD. You may have to order it.

Massive gateshead following that day, although jamie is correct about blyth turning out for the fa cup, I personally think the sunday works in our favour, let's hope the good 200 that went to barwell and more get up to blyth

"Non leagues most famous cup fighters " !!! my considerable feckin arse

Why do we never seem to get the recognition of being one of the most famous non league cup fighters? I've noticed its always the Herefords, Suttons and Blyth Spartans of this world who get acknowledged on, for instance, the BBC.

To be fair, we have had plenty of recognition about this over the years.  Even on that North West Tonight feature on Monday, our giant killing record was referred to.  

Since the whole TV coverage of the FA Cup was changed in the late 80s, we've had the following:

Proper BBC highlights for Halifax, Chester, Wigan (also a full highlights programme on Sky), Darlington and Millwall
Live satellite coverage for Huddersfield and Burton.

We also would have had the Crewe game in 1995 shown on Match of the Day had it not been rescheduled because of Neil Lennon's international call up.

I think that is good going.  Given that in only one of those seasons we actually got to the third round, I would like to know if another non-league club has had as much consistent TV coverage as us in the FA Cup over that time.  I daresay one of the reasons we were picked for a lot of those games was because of our past reputation.  

Fair point about Birmingham but then it isn't recorded for posterity in the way that Hereford and Sutton was.  As for Blyth, they do have a good reputation to be fair.  I agree with the poster about Telford.  They had a tremendous run in the mid 80s but that seems to be completely forgotten.

I don't think we've been ignored at all.  If the media recognition hasn't been there, how did we get all that FA Cup footage for the DVD a few years back?

I don't think anyone is moaning about the coverage at the time, it's the recognition for past achievements that's lacking and that's because Hereford's one moment of glory makes a great clip that you don't have to explain the context for and it can say "giant killer"  in 2 or 3 seconds - a grainy clip of an own goal doesn't quite do it in the same way!

Similar with Sutton - they had decent coverage and a bright sunny afternoon, it just makes better telly in a history of the FA cup clip reel and so they get remembered

A certain David Seaman who later in his career let in another dubious goal between his legs in '96 versus the Netherlands

I think overall we will benefit financially and possibly there will be a smaller home (floating) following which will also benefit us.

More important than how much we may lose from the sat-sun split is winning the frinking thing and getting the prize money and a money spinning 2nd round tie (or an easy tie that sees us through to old Trafford in the 3rd) which makes all semantics redundant really....
