Here’s how fans reacted to the latest 25/26 FA Cup Second Round TV selections revealed by BBC and TNT Sports…

@DanLove866: Salford/Orient over Chelmsford/Weston? You’re having an absolute giggle 😂

@alfie_ftbl_: Half 5 on a Sunday 🫠 shit in ere

@gparr246: Puzzled as to why it’s not on TV, but definitely not complaining about a Saturday 3pm #ctfc

@PaulCampbell72: Not a TV game? Really? #ctfc

@ConnorBondonno: 3 times on tv in 2 seasons. Decent bit of money that #sufc

@BillyCarroll21: You’re having a fucking laugh #lofc

@SebT68: Screw the fans again #lofc

@SeanMuzzy82: What a shit time attendance will heavily be effected #utmp

@Hoppo101: To be fair, I feel for you guys. You lost the chance of a TV hame for them to show Chesterfield v Donny and even worse, Salford v Orient. Awful choices by TNT and BBC #ctfc

@THftbl: That’s absolutely pants, but hopefully it brings a bit of cash to the club in time for the January transfer window #spireites

@11MerryMen1: Oh look, Salford on TV again…
