Absolutely ridiculous if you ask me.
Leeds -v- Northampton? Get real Setanta. It's like when the BBC used to show something like ManYoo -v- Villa when there were much more interesting games on. No one wants to watch a cup game between two teams in the same division. That's not what the FA Cup is about.
As for H&W -v- Brentford, another silly decision. I'm sure Havant will welcome the extra money, but they profited a lot from the Cup last year. It's someone else's turn.
AFC Wimbledon -v- Wycombe is a great choice though.

I have to agree that Leeds -v- Northampton, Is a very uninteresting tie, must be just the name Of Leeds that swung It.The games we want to watch are the more romantic ties, the little ones v the big ones, so that we may just watch a cup upset.
Our game last season was just that, a BSP team v a division one team and we the little boys won.I still find It hard to think that we are now the small club Out f Yeovil and us.
As you may know I go there twice a week and It does not seem that long a go when I used to feel when In yeovil that my team were the big boys, while Yeovil were non league, but with some good cup history.
When they came up and we beat them at their place, It still was good to let my Yeovil customers know, that TUFC were still the bigger team and with real history. We went up that season and the gap between them and us was restored.
I will never forget driving into Yeovil at the end Of the next season, we went down and Yeovil went up. The streets were full Of white and green balloons(Merse knows I hate balloons ;D)making me feel even worse,as I felt that a big celebration had taken place, while I and my fellow TUFC fans were hurting so deep Inside.
Next I had to face my customers, but to be fair, they were not big headed, did not rub It in my face, they were sorry that my team had got relegated. So you see not all fans see other fans In the same way, some Of our fans say, see City fans, Or how some Of them see us.

Leeds - Northampton on telly is a complete joke.
What about the Miners derby Chesterfield v Mansfield Town or Kettering Town v Lincoln City?
