Full draw is as follows:
1 Maidstone United v Barrow 2 Wycombe Wanderers v Morecambe 3 Notts County v Shrewsbury Town 4 Chesterfield v Leyton Orient 5 Aldershot Town v Stockport County 6 Alfreton Town v Walsall 7 Blackpool v Scarborough Athletic or Forest Green Rovers 8 Cambridge United v Fleetwood Town 9 Bolton Wanderers v Harrogate Town 10 Wrexham v Yeovil Town 11 Crewe Alexandra or Derby County v Bristol Rovers 12 Peterborough United or Salford City v Doncaster Rovers or Accrington Stanley 13 Eastleigh v Reading 14 Gillingham v Charlton Athletic or Cray Valley (PM) 15 Stevenage v Port Vale or Burton Albion 16 Newport County v Barnet 17 Oxford United v Slough Town or Grimsby Town 18 Chester or York City v Wigan Athletic 19 Sutton United v Barnsley or Horsham 20 AFC Wimbledon v Ramsgate
I think they pick 5 ties for TV, one friday, one Suturday and 3 Sunday.
Its hard to see who we aren't one of them isn't it? Will be announced in the next few days I assume.

Just looking into this further last season they picked 4 TV games and announced them on Wednesday following the weekends 1st round games. Money for getting on TV was £60k.
So far we have earned prize money of £9,375 from Beating Dover and £41k from Beating Boreham wood. Not to be sniffed at. The prize money for beating Reading is £67k, as well as potentially several times that from 3rd round.

Only 6 and 18 stand out. Think we are 2nd or 3rd fave to be on TV there Sunday 12.15 would be my guess. Wrecsam will be 7.45 on s4c like Saturday just gone so their hoardes of North American fans can tune in

Recon Chesterfield will be one. As will the games Callum has said.If ITV take Wrexham of BBC Wales. I can see us missing out Hope I'm wrong

Think s4c (bbc) was an addition to the TV picks rather than 1 of the ones we need to worry about.
Wrexham v Yeovil 7.45 on Saturday might sound odd but so did Walsall to Sheppey and Horsham to Barnsley for 7.45 on a Friday and Pompey to Chesterfield for 12.45 on a Sunday. Anything can happen but I'd be amazed if we're not prime slot 5.45 Sat or 12.45. Depends if Horsham and Cray make it through I guess.
I guess non FA Cup winning AFC Wimbledon v a team they used to play against in Ramsgate will appeal for TV

We all know BBC and ITV love showing Salford City as well.

Still no news, tomorrow or Friday I would think?
I assume they are not waiting for the replays, that would be a bit frustrating for us if they are.

I note that we haven't given Reading any allocation yet, which makes sense. I would assume that as soon as we give them (say) 700 tickets they will sell them out within a day or two and will be wanting more.
So makes to prioritise home fans and hopefully we can sell out 4000 or so tickets to Eastleigh fans with the minimum 15% of ground capacity (circa 700) to Reading.
Early indications seem encouraging, I assume we have sold well over 1000 tickets so far.

Is there a set % we need to give Reading?

I thought it was something like that. So they'll get about 825 tix then, unless we can't sell the other 4600 ish?

Think the capacity will be capped a fair bit lower than that. We got 5025 for the Bolton game and we have lost about 700 seats behind the goal since then, albeit we have gained 400 seats on the west side - though for the Bolton game we had a temporary terrace on the west side.
I also think we sold west standing tickets last time which we aren’t selling this time. I don’t know if we are planning to stop people standing by the pitch on west side (next to the seats). It would be a mistake if we do IMO.
I reckon the capacity will be close to 4500 which would be 3825 Eastleigh & 675 Reading. We seem to be in a good position to give them just 15% and no more.
