Well, it's a former league side against a current league side, potential upset, and for better or worse the cameras might want to capture the gaffer's reaction should we go out, so maybe it will be considered for telly.
No fans allowed at any games. Eastbourne Borough host Blackpool. Borough must be gutted. Would've been a sure sell out.
Agree George. Such a shame for Eastbourne and also another fairly local team in Tonbridge. Both drawn at home to league opposition but their fans unable to attend the games. Hopefully for them these games will be shown live on TV.
FA have adjusted the distribution of prize money - in light of current situation - to enable 1st round losing teams to also get a share (25%) of the pot... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54709368
Will this match be played? The cup is in a mess thanks to lockdown. Torquay are not elite PL/EFL so do will we get a bye? Match postponed? Cup abandonded?

National League is considered elite sport
So all professional football is considered elite sport this time round I guess.
Just noticed that Torquay are top of the National league and yesterday beat fellow promotion hopefuls Hartlepool 5-0 AWAY!
Not an easy game this.

Spot on Jim. Hartlepool were unbeaten before Saturday. Torquay certainly are flying at the moment and will be well up for this. Definitely a tough one this.

But the thing is Crawley are flying at the moment too. And there is no doubt that our lads will be well up for this match. It's not gonna be easy this one, but that goes for both sides. Torquay could have had a much easier draw than us, let's be honest. If we play as well as we can I think we will win.
Have to hope that Watters is fit, he's on fire, and it's a real shame that Francomb will be out, he's in great form at the moment. I'm hoping Hesketh's ban only applies to FL games, not cup matches?
