YORK City have missed out on banking a further £265,000 with television bosses deciding against broadcasting the Minstermen's FA Cup clash with Premiership Fulham live.

However, City do stand to claim an extra £40,000 in television fees to add to the £100,000 they have already claimed in prize money.

Three of four games scheduled to be shown live during the fourth round replay had already been announced.

Sky TV are to show Middlesbrough v Manchester United on the Saturday and Darlington or Peterborough v Newcastle on the Sunday.

The BBC selected Arsenal v Liverpool for their 1pm transmission on Sunday, January 27, but had still to announce their match for a 7pm broadcast.

City against Fulham remained a possibility, which would have earned City £265,000 as part of the television deal.

However, the BBC have now plumped for Ipswich against Manchester City as their last remaining live game.

But the blow has been softened by the fact City's game with Fulham will be one of the featured games on Match of the Day, pocketing City £40,000.

The Fulham tie captures the essence of the FA Cup, but its snub by TV bosses has dismayed City chairman Douglas Craig.

"I don't understand how television can ignore the possibility of screening us," said Craig.

"You're talking about a team 91st in the Football League and up for sale against a team of millionaires. If that isn't an attractive fixture for television, then I don't know what is."

Meanwhile, City's Third Division clash at Exeter, which was scheduled to take place next Saturday before City won through to the fourth round of the Cup has been rearranged.

It will now be staged on Tuesday, March 19, kick-off 7.45pm.

City reserves drew 1-1 with Bury at Bootham Crescent last night.

After a scrappy first-half of few chances, Bury took the lead on 55 minutes through Ian Lawson.

City equalised on 72 minutes, courtesy of Alex Mathie, who raced clear to beat Bury 'keeper Glyn Garner with a smart finish.

Garner then thwarted a home win with two great saves from Peter Duffield and Leigh Wood.
