Any chances the Beeb or BT might show one of the games (preferably ours)?
Neither match is being shown - Salford v Shrewsbury is now on the Wednesday due to BT showing it. Absolutely ridiculous, this media obsession/love-in with Salford!
Salford v Shrewsbury was originally scheduled for the Tuesday (BBC still have it as Tuesday on its web page). Switched to Wednesday for TV coverage.
Barnet's and Hartlepool's replays were always going to be scheduled for the Wednesday due to the two teams meeting on the previous Sunday.
If Salford bear Shrewsbury expect them to be the live game in Round 2.

As others have said that was always going to be the game selected.

I was pleased to hear the BBC commentator at Shrewsbury v Salford make it clear that Salford were not underdogs and he expected the game to be even. Was refreshing that he didn't go along with the media narrative on Salford.

If we were to win our replay then our game has been selected for the Sunday BBC programme again (however if Rovers win then it will be on Saturday). Similar situation for Chesterfield, strangely if Billericay win then their game is on the Saturday though.
