You may be in luck

Leicester City and Manchester City's FA Cup Third Round replay will be shown live on Sky.
The two Premiership sides drew 2-2 at the City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday and their replay, which kicks-off at 7.45pm on Wednesday 14 January 2004, will be shown live on Sky Sports.

As a result, each club will receive £265,000 in TV fees.

Meanwhile on the same evening, the BBC will show highlights of the Chelsea v Watford and the Scarborough v Southend United matches. Both games kick off at 7.45pm and all four teams will receive £30,00 in fees.

Interesting tidbit I noticed. Manchester United will play either Rotherham or Northampton in the next round. These are the previous results against both teams:

League Cup Manchester United 5-0 Rotherham United 12-10-1988

League Cup Rotherham United 0-1 Manchester United 28-09-1988

FA Cup Rotherham United 0-1 Manchester United 15-02-1966

FA Cup Manchester United 0-0 Rotherham United 12-02-1966

Div 2 Rotherham United 1-1 Manchester United 09-12-1922

Div 2 Manchester United 3-0 Rotherham United 02-12-1922


FA Cup Northampton Town 2-8 Manchester United 07-02-1970

Division 1 Manchester United 6-2 Northampton Town 05-02-1966

Division 1 Northampton Town 1-1 Manchester United 28-08-1965


Isn't that spooky?

Also should Scarborough and Chelsea both advance after their replays, the Seasiders may have a chance to repeat their victory on aggregate against Chelsea in the league cup back in the 1989-1990 season.

English League Cup Scarborough 3-2 Chelsea 04-10-1989

English League Cup Chelsea 1-1 Scarborough 19-09-1989

Also it will be the first time, that the Seadogs will make it to the 4th round in their 125 year old history. By the way, the symbol of Scarborough? What is it, a pelican? I'm not very good with birds.

Looks more like a seagull to me.

[DennisM]

Yes, that's probably right since "Sea" is in their other names as well.
