FA Cup Second Round Proper television ties confirmed

Wednesday 12 Nov 2014
The six clubs will each receive £72,000 from The FA

A North-East derby under floodlights will kick-off The FA Cup's Second Round next month with three live ties across the BBC and BT Sport.

Blyth Spartans' trip down the coast to League Two Hartlepool United will feature on Friday 5 December with a 7.55pm kick-off at The Victoria Ground live on BBC Two.

The Northern Premier League side stunned Altrincham on Sunday with Robert Dale and Daniel Maguire both bagging braces in a 4-1 win for Blyth at their Croft Park home.  

Pools had to overcome non-league opposition themselves in the First Round, beating Essex's East Thurrock United 2-0 thanks to a Jonathan Franks double.

Second Round TV ties

Hartlepool United v Blyth Spartans (Friday 5 December, 7.55pm on BBC Two)
Gateshead v Warrington (Sunday 7 December, 12 noon on BT Sport)
Colchester United v Peterborough United (Sunday 7 December, 4.30pm on BT Sport)

The live match action then moves to Sunday 7 December with two ties on BT Sport 1.

And the cameras will again be in the North-East as Gateshead host First Round giantkillers Warrington Town.

The Yellows and their manager, Shaun Reid, made national headlines when they beat Exeter City 1-0 last week. 

Gateahead had to ensure they didn't become an FA Cup statistic when they made the trip to competition top scorers Norton United on Sunday.

But a hat-trick from Rob Ranshaw after Alex Rodman's early opener saw the Conference side cruise through to the Second Round. 

Gateshead v Warrington will kick-off at 12pm on Sunday 7 December.

Later that day sees BT Sport 1 in Essex for Colchester United v Peterborough United.

The U's avoided a potential banana skin at Gosport Borough on Sunday, hitting the Conference South side for six.

Colchester led 4-1 at the break and eventually chalked up a 6-3 win while Darren Ferguson's Peterborough left it late to beat Carlisle United 2-1 with Christian Burgess scoring his second of the game in injury time.

Posh's trip to the Weston Homes Community Stadium will kick-off at 4.30pm.

All clubs featuring in the BBC/BT Sport live broadcasts will receive £72,000 from The FA while the winners will get an extra £27,000 in FA Cup prize money.

Sandwiched between the BT Sport 1 ties on Sunday 7 December will be another FA Cup Final Score special hosted by Jason Mohammed at 1.45pm on BBC One.

There will be an FA Cup highlights show later that day on BBC Two and Monday 8 December will see the Third Round draw on the same channel from 7pm.
