Lincoln Replay Live on BBC One - Ipswich Town News
Town’s FA Cup third round replay against Lincoln City at Sincil Bank on Tuesday 17th January will be shown live on BBC One. The game moves to an 8.05pm kick-off as a result.
The Blues drew 2-2 with the Vanarama National League leaders at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking after that match Imps boss Danny Cowley said he hoped the replay would be selected for broadcast live.
"We’d love that, we had the television for the Oldham game," he said. "It’s money that’s massive to us as a club. It makes a significant difference.
"If that was to happen that would obviously be great and would just add to what should be a really good replay.”
Each club will receive a live broadcast fee of £72,000 with the winners of the game, which will go to extra-time and penalties if not settled in the 90 minutes, claiming a further £67,500 from the FA prize fund.
The winners of the replay will face Championship leaders Brighton and Hove Albion at home in the fourth round.
The Blues, with whom manager Mick McCarthy is yet to win an FA Cup tie since taking charge in November 2012, last reached the fourth round in 2010, while Lincoln City most recently made it past the third round in 1976.
