Diamonds FA Cup clash at Burton Albion overlooked for live TV coverage
AFC Rushden & Diamonds have missed out on a live television date in the FA Cup first round - and a £50,000 bonus.
Elliot Sandy's side, who play in the Pitching-In Northern Premier League Midlands Division, will travel to Sky Bet League One outfit Burton Albion.
A total of eight of the 40 matches have been selected to be broadcast live on TNT Sports, with two of them also being broadcast by the BBC.
Hopes had been high that the match at the Pirelli Stadium could be picked to be shown live, which would have meant a £50,000 reward for Diamonds - but the Hayden Road club have missed out.
Five of ties selected see non-League teams at home to EFL opposition, but there are then two all-League clashes, and an all non-League tie as well.
The matches involving all-EFL clubs are the all league one clash between Peterborough United and Reading, and Oldham Athletic, who play in league two, hosting third tier Sheffield Wednesday.
The all non-League match sees Step 2 sides Plymouth Parkway and Berkhamsted go head to head.
The decision means that Diamonds' trip to Burton is now set to be played on Saturday, November 7, with a 3pm kick-off.
