The Welsh language national broadcaster, S4C, have confirmed that Cardiff City's home F.A. Cup Third Round replay against The Weetabix Wurzles (Bristol City) will be televised live on their channel next Tuesday night. The game will also be streamed on their website.

S4C were delighted to have an audience of almost half a million for the first game in Bristol this week even if the overwhelming majority were English speaking Cardiff and Bristol followers ... using radio for commentary.

While good news, it surely is the kiss of death for hopes of a half decent crowd at the game as Cardiff fans faced the prospect of finding £20 for this game and then another £20 minimum for 4 days later when they play Leicester in Round 4 if they win. It's a safe bet many will now opt to stay at home.
