AFC Wimbledon vs MK Dons is bound to be on ITV if both clubs win their replays. Dover's match against Brentford or Aldershot is in for a shout too.

Will the TV companies risk going for Wimbledon v MK Dons? They could end up with Ebbsfleet v Stevenage- not a great game (no disrespect to those teams.)
They can be selected after the replays, I don't believe they're under any obligation contractually to choose games by a certain date.
So don't you reckon Crawley Town v Swindon Town is a good match up?
What matches would you choose (or predict) for live showing?
I disagree, there's a couple of decent 1's there (Crawley v Swindon as mentioned) as well as a couple of potentially decent 1's. Yes it's a bit of a poor draw on the whole, but it's not as bad as you make out in my opinion, claiming there isn't 1 good match.
I don't know which is more ridiculous, your maths or your expectations. If you're not happy with a selection of TV games to choose including a 50-50 chance of one of the biggest second round games in the competition's history, plus a good chance for some smaller teams to reach the third round, then you're not a football fan.
Wimbledon v Milton Keynes
Brighton v FC United
Dover v Brentford
Crawley v Swindon
Notts Co v Bournemouth
Droylsden v Orient
Considering the fact that both AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons are one division higher than their opponents, it would not be true to say that there is an equal chance of their opponents Ebbsfleet and Stevenage going through.
Overall probability is not even relevant when discussing the chances of a team winning a football match.
eg when the Euro finals draws are made for the quarters and semis, its going to be a long shot to predict the final.
No chance.
Absolutely none.
Notts County v Bournemouth as a potential TV game? You absolutely must be having a laugh there. There's NO reason whatsoever for it to even be considered for 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001secs.
Er..........yeah. With all due respect, that's a rubbish reason to put it on the list as a possible TV game. Nobody would watch an FA Cup round 2 game between 2 average League 1 sides. It'd have about as much interest in it as a fish would have interest in eating Scooby snacks wrapped in Popeye's spinach.
It was more than a potential TV game last year - it was one, albeit a league match. Not this time though. I think there's its so going to be Wimbledon, Crawley and Dover.
Crawley Town v Swindon Town
Dover v Brentford or Aldershot
Droylsdon v Dagenham & Redbridge or Leyton Orient
I shouldn't think either ITV or ESPN will take a chance on a possible AFC Wimbledon v MK Dons tie as the replays are being played next week instead of this week!
Also, l think that Woking v Brighton and Vauxhall Motors v Hartlepool replys will be shown live on tv with Ebbsfleet v AFC Wimbledon a possible outside bet to gatecrash the party due to the outcome of the 2nd Round draw!
Good call! The problem is that Stevenage, as you had pointed out, was a non-league club themselves until this season, this may count against this tie being shown? However l'll understand the reason if this tie gets selected over any of the matches l have nominated for live coverage!
