They haven't really got into the CC yet have Sky and not always bothered showing games when they could've BUT previously they had second choice on games after the BBC and really most rounds only feature 1/2 stand out ties.

That was the theory, although for reasons that entirely escaped me at the time, the BBC passed over Fev v Cas which was, by most peoples' reckoning, the tie of the round.

The most puzzling and frustrating thing for me was that after showing Fev beat Cas in that game and then give us (Wigan) an almighty scare in the next round that Sky declined to show any cup ties in the years since.
